Obama went AWOL when the fateful Benghazi attacks occurred. A Limerick.

WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says President Obama was out of touch completely the night four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in Benghazi, Libya.

In his testimony to Congress today, Panetta said that the operational details of the response, the decisions on what resources were available to help, and other decisions were left “up to us.”

Panetta, answering questions from Congress about the attack on the U.S., said except for a scheduled meeting with the president the day of the attack, Obama failed to communicate in any way with him that day.

Panetta said he simply didn’t hear from anyone at the White House. *

Obama went AWOL the night of Benghazi,

Did not order rescue, not even a posse.

So he went out of sight

In the dark of the night.

His care ends with actions that make him look snazzy.

The “no budget, no pay” limerick.

The administration is by law required to submit a budget the first Monday in February to congress for consideration. His last three budgets has failed to get even one Democrat vote. Is that the Republicans fault? In fact, Congress has not passed a budget in almost four years, only “spend as you go” with no checks and balances. That is how you can rack up six trillion in deficits in four years.

 

Obama is late with his budget.

He’s breaking the law, cannot fudge it.

The Republicans say:

“With no budget, no pay.”

That’s fair, so who can begrudge it?

Groundhog Day and the State of the Union. A Limerick.

state-of-the-union_gi_topOnce upon a time Air America Radio pointed out:

Obamascrawny“It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog.”

This gem was originally aired in 2007  but is much more àpropos today. Air America is now defunct, for obvious reasons, not related to this  quote. This year the state of the union speech will be given Feb 12, but seeing his vacation picture from Hawaii I could not help but make an observation:

Obama is looking a wee bit too scrawny.

Gone are the days when he seemed to be brawny.

He can’t cope with stress

So he works less and less.

Gets scared of his shadow, like Phil Punxsutawney

“We haven’t begun to fight:” Sarah Palin after quitting Fox News.

In an interview with Breitbart news Jan.26, 2013 in answer to the question:

“The MSM have declared both you and the Tea Party dead and buried. Reaction?”

Sarah Palin said this:

“I was raised to never retreat and to pick battles wisely, and all in due season. When it comes to defending our republic, we haven’t begun to fight! But we delight in those who underestimate us. “

(The song is in Long Meter. Can be sung to for example “I heard the bells on Christmas day”. .. or as Long Meter Double in “Sweet hour of prayer”.)

“We have not yet begun to fight”

Our Palin is a true white knight.

In darkness she will shine the light

And fight for freedom with all mightSarahPhoenix

 

Our country is at crossroads now

The road we take will show us how

It’s life and good – when right you choose

Or death and evil – left we lose.

Deuteronomy 30:15 (KJV) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil.

Free at last! Sarah Palin quits Fox News. A Limerick.

IneluctableA source close to Palin confirmed to Breitbart News that Palin declined FOX News’ offer to renew her contract, and the two parties seem to be parting amicably.

Bill Shine, an executive vice president at FOX News, said in a statement, “We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Governor Palin. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Sarah Palin is free from the Fox News charade.
Free to speak about life, and of all God has made.
For the Cross is the crux
when all else is in flux
It’s a spirit filled fight, she is sent to persuade.

Obama mentions himself 63 times eulogizing Sen Daniel Inouye. A Limerick.

President Barack Obama used the funeral for Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word “my” 21 times, “me” 12 times, and “I” 30 times.

Eulogize Inouye, one can ask: Why?

The praiseworthy words are but I, me and my.

There is none like Barack

On himself he looks back.

Narcissimus Maximus, he is not shy.

An excerpt is to be seen here:

Harry Reid blocks vote on Obama’s tax hike proposal. A Limerick.

Obama must think it is time to smoke weed.

McConnell said “vote”, but that old geezer Reid

put Obama’s proposal

in the garbage disposal.

We’ll go over the cliff, it’s Obama’s misdeed.
