Three Cheers, Three Terms

The first time I saw Barack Obama, was the Democratic Convention, Two Thousand Four;

The year the Republicans rigged the election, and robbed our poor Al Gore!

He gave a speech that rocked me, and shook my loving heart;

I thought this this could be the first man of color, for a White House job to start!

Then four years later, my prediction had come true;

He won the nomination to run for President, and I said, “Barack, I’m there with you”!

And then we made great history, for a black man now was Pres.;

At his inauguration they sang him the Etta James song, “At Last” is what it says!

Hi inherited quite a deficit, from the inept man who came before;

Who took our country to the brink of  depression, just to finish Daddy’s war!

Wall Street was in dire trouble, large lenders, shaky too;

And the automotive industry was tanking, no one could figure what to do!

Somehow with Republicans plotting against him, he got his “Bail-Out” passed;

For he said “There’s no way I will allow this, I’ll save them very fast”!

Then thanks to him they prospered, and paid back all their loans;

He saved us from depression, almost single-handedly, alone!

I think he’s one of the five greatest Presidents, this country’s ever had;

So I say “Three Cheers, Barack Obama”, but I’m also very sad!

For he’s finished now his last term, but I wish I was able say;

This November you’ll seek your third term, and, I’ll vote for you, that day!
