Bush & Company

President Obama, unruffled as he seems, must occasionally become riled up, athough he publicly rises above the increasing maligning by his detractors, either ignoring the attacks or responding quietly with a touch of humor.

The insufferable accusations currently leveled at him that he takes too much time off, that he's turning victory in Iraq into defeat, that he's inept at foreign affairs and has, in fact, failed in this arena and further, is an appeaser, not unlike Neville Chamberlain of Hitler, have noticeably galled him and he's tactfully, though effectively, fought back. "Ask Osama bin Laden," he said calmly, with a few other words in his defense; and they sufficed.

Such unfounded assaults only make the president look still better and his slanderers far, far worse.

The president in his quiet way,
While laboring from day to day
To keep the bogey man at bay,
Has very little time to play,

But every chance they get, The Right
Will petulantly pick a fight;
With lies licentiously lay blame
Boldfaced, without a trace of shame.

Those accusations that they spin
They do with much ado and din
And do they think those tales they've spun
Have gained them ground that he has won?
