Barack inspired us for a while.
His election brought us
unabashed joy.
But once he won decisively
he forgot about
“yes we can,” and switched
to “sure we will.”

His eclectic cabinet has a bit
for everyone except those
expecting something new.
And now to guarantee
we all get the message,
he gave his inaugural prayer
to an unforgiving zealot.

Our first black president
has already overcome
any doubts about being ready
for the highest office in the land.
He know exactly what to do –
build a bigger coalition
to assure his reelection.
