The Lyrics

In choosing the cabinet for his first administration, President Obama selected some controversial choices. Still, these were tame compared to his "real" cabinet of czars. This time he's trotting out a list of highly-provacative and most ill-advised nominees. Indeed, the roster seems to be the greatest collection of "in your face" appointments ever proposed at one time . Is he really saying once again "I won my unanimous mandate, so up yours!"? ;D


Here in the second term
Obama's picks are firm.
When we saw his nominees we all began to squirm.

Oh, he's got a lo-ve-ly bunch of cabi-nuts.
What a mob of goofs did O. embrace!
Kerry, Hagel, Brennan and Jackie Lew.
This is a list - he couldn't resist,
They'll do what he says to.

O.'s got a team that will really kick some butts.
All his nominees are "in your face".
No Leon P. - and no more Hillary.
This whole gang ain't half as good as who they'll replace.

In this term O.'s gonna run the whole stinking game.
As Alicia Keys now sings "Obama's aflame!".
Just forget the views - Hagel said of Jews,
And his loyal friend Jack Lew cannot write his name.(1)


(Instrumental chorus)


O. wants no cabinet full of artisans. (They're lapdogs!)
If you're not with him then don't apply. (Oh - me! Oh - my!)
Take all - guns and - lock the owners in jails. (Forever!)
Brennan applauds - all Muslim jihads,
The Brotherhood he hails!

There's never been such a gang of partisans. (In O.'s cabana!)
Nation loves his health care, that is why. (Castro's Havana!)
Holder will stay - to run the D.O.J.
And they'll break the laws and rights to make them comply.

(All together!) Watch them bash John Boehner's face for he is a louse!
(Alarmingly!) They will govern by decree and bypass the House.
This time , listen fool. He'll be a pit bull.
We will think that in his first term O. was a mouse!

(Instrumental interlude to big finish)

And this attitude goes double for his dear spouse!!




(1) - Treasury Secretary-designate Jack Lew's "signature" is a series of circular spirals, which I guess is more original than the traditional "X" mark. I had this one ready for last Thursday, but as you know... ;D

This current crop of Cocoanuts amount to nothing more than a bunch of Horsefeathers. You'd think that after four years of the kind of Monkey Business Dumb-O is famous for, he would find running a bankrupt country as easy as Duck Soup.

I tried to keep hide navigation function, but I couldn't get it to work properly with the new layout. Rob, what browser/OS are you using?
