We rave about Barack’s rhetoric,
his fresh approach to politics,
the young voters he attracts;
contrast it with Clinton’s lost voice,
trouble explaining her vote for war,
and controlling her husband.

Truth: Obama’s message was vague,
Hillary’s campaign surged, but
he had understood caucuses,
how the party allocates delegates.
He won because of rules, and
an adoring press corps.

Now his soaring oratory must
battle stoic speechifying,
his elegance, entrenched heroism.
And most scary, that press corps
is owned by Republican stalwarts
motivated by personal profit.
