It’s amazing how politicians
can divine solutions to problems
they’ve never seen before.
They know what will work
and what won’t without
even reading the legislation.
But they must deal with different
supernatural powers because their
answers tend to be at odds.
Unfortunately they usually
settle such disputes by taking
the worst from each side.
Too bad they don’t age like the rest
of us and forget what [...]

While Obama mops the slop
from broken bubbles, business
sounds the call to arms for battles
that must be won, or the coerced
decline in union membership
could be reversed by “card check,”
profits stored overseas won’t get
a tax-free holiday to come home,
bankruptcy judges will get power
to force lenders to treat mortgages
like other loans and rewrite terms,
government could make companies
reduce greenhouse [...]

Obama wasn’t
elected to win favor
with Republicans.
Our nation’s backbone
was business until it went
multinational
A majority
wins. Extra votes just weaken
the resulting bill.
In politics the
ultimate compromise is:
do nothing at all.

Bush butchered the language
more than we suspected.
Under his rhetorical reign
bi-partisan became positive
and ideology became bad, i.e.
blind prejudice was superior
to a coherent set of beliefs.
The biblical equivalent of
bi-partisan is “an eye for an eye.”
In Obama’s stimulus package it’s
“we’ll cut taxes on your friends,
and hope they use it wisely, so
we can pay our friends to build
useful [...]

Blind, prejudiced, unreasoning allegiance
is the dictionary definition of “partisan.”
We didn’t vote for twice as much of that.
We voted to change “free” to “fair” in trade and
markets;” to find something besides tax cuts
for business as the solution to every problem;
to restore respect for our country in the world.
Obama’s idea of change seems to focus
on bi-partisan [...]

Someone please remind the man
that liberals won control of congress.
He doesn’t have to woo the right.
by giving business tax relief.
If Republicans won’t support
real stimulation, it still should pass,
but by starting with bi-partisan swill
Obama just feeds GOP greed.
