The president\u2019s speech in Osawatomie<\/p>\n

Was populist, just as it oughta be<\/p>\n

He defended the middle,<\/p>\n

Put one-percenters on the griddle,<\/p>\n

And decried our financial dichotomy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like TR, one hundred years prior,<\/p>\n

He campaigned with political fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cFair shot\u201d or \u201cfair deal,\u201d<\/p>\n

Both have great appeal.<\/p>\n

But, no doubt, he\u2019ll ignite right-wing ire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But if now\u2019s not the time, then when try it?<\/p>\n

He can change our political diet<\/p>\n

From right-wing \u201cideas\u201d<\/p>\n

To liberal panaceas,<\/p>\n

And hope that the voters will buy it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, for lefties who seriously doubt,<\/p>\n

That they know what Obama\u2019s about,<\/p>\n

When we get to November,<\/p>\n

We need to remember:<\/p>\n

A right-wing Republican president is something we can really do without.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
