Demigods and Democrats

Article link: A frosty meeting between Obama and House Republicans

 

In recent days the president

Has every reason to lament:

The Senate voted to a man

To kill his latest budget plan.

The House refused to be outdone,

And voted, more than three to one,

To kill his plan to hike the debt,

Before their calls for cuts were met.

 

The White House team, now on alert,

Decided they could best avert

The looming crisis on the street

By getting all their foes to meet

The president, who would express

The need to spend well in excess

Of every bit of revenue

The government is likely due.

 

Republicans were quite amused,

For recently they were abused

By both The One they would now meet,

And all the minions at his feet.

They acquiesced to entertain

The President, and his campaign,

Because it offered them the chance

To interrupt his song and dance.

 

The president became confused,

His feelings hurt, his ego bruised.

For to this point he had been told

That Boehner and his troops would fold.

But here was Ryan feeling free

To point out demagoguery

By both The One and she that he

Appointed to the DNC.

 

 

McCarthy, from the Golden State,

Refused to self-negotiate,

And pointed out the CBO

Would need details to undergo

The difficult, demanding chore

Of giving out a budget score;

Which at this time cannot be done

For lack of details from The One.

 

 

Those members from across the aisle

From leadership, to rank and file,

Need lessons in civility

And how to treat nobility.

For their behavior is at odds

With deference due the demigods:

The Democrats, and favorite son

Of Illinois: Barack, The One.
