In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs forever and ever.

Americas Presidential Race

America! America!
The presidential race is on
America! America!
History is made when the race is won

The President is about to be displaced
These words are spoken with a lightface
In this little head, thoughts fight for space
Looking for evidence and clues to trace

Who can outpace?
Who can outrace?
Who can deliver not grass but grace?
As the president is about to be replaced

The agenda could be gender
In a political race of all races
The winner could be older and bolder
In this political footrace
Who does America embrace?
Which candidates do the people erase?

Who cares?
Who fears?
This change is about to and will take place
As the president is about to be replaced

No one cares if he is black or white
Or if the other man is too old to fight
No one cares if she is a woman
It is either the democrats or the republicans
Anyone can emerge as that political face
As the president is about to be displaced

America! America!
The presidential race is on
America! America!
History is made when the race is won

The truth is the Republican leadership has created a credit card Congress that is recklessly selling out the future of America, our children and our grandchildren, and President Bush is the most fiscally irresponsible President in the history of America.

America

(Francis Scott Key)
Oh, say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so
Gallantly streaming?
America, America, America
America, America, America
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh, say, does that star
Spangled banner yet wave
Over the land of the free
And the home of the brave!
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America
ooohhh

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

AmericaLion starts Thunder

If slaves wait hundred years
their generation sees prosperity nears
Decoction is black as night
White-milk makes coffee right
Obama-coffee rejuvenates American dream
America! join with main-stream!
Hybrid President will work wonders
America-Lion does start thunder

I started in this racket in the early '70s, and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, of which I was like the sixth president, I was the first one nobody ever heard of.

Simply Put

Simply put...
She is running,
For the Office of Vice President of America.
And she should bring her 'A' game with her,
Always!

She governs Alaska.
Prior to that...
She held the position of mayor.

That folks have lowered their expectations,
To dismiss the possibility
Her performance might expose a further degradation...
Is indicative of an addiction to a mediocrity affliction!

Simply put...
She is 'not' being interviewed,
To become a classroom substitute teacher!

She...
If elected.
May just become,
The president of The United States.
And there is more at stake...
Than how she will be treated by her opponent,
During a nationally televised Vice Presidential debate.

Wake up people!
Those of you asleep at the gates,
Awaiting for an amusement park to open!

Haven't the sign of these times we live...
Introduced any hints of reality at all?
Games of vollyball and hide and seek...
Are not on the horizon to be played.
Masks of masquerades paraded to charade...
Have from your standards and values,
Quickly faded.

Simply put!
Although a frightening premise...
That may come to all to lay underfoot!

The Subliminal Verses 5

Shed your tears
Oh drunken slob
For several years
I’m on my own
Sleepless stars
Above the hills
Send me to god
Oh sleeping pills
Come on and say it
Say it to my face
It’s like a machine has
Taken on my brain
America, America, America, Oh God
Now all I want
To give my self
To think I could
May god define me
Come on and say it
Say it to my face
It’s like a disease has
Taken on my brain
Even till my last goodbye
I’m falling in and out of time
America, America, America, Oh God
Far away across the sea
You’re calling out to me
Come on and say it
Say it to my face
It’s like a disease has
Taken on my brain
America, America, America
I’m falling in and out of time

Sydney Pollack

For example, a man who might not have enormous charisma, who could be president 40 years ago, and who was a deserving president, I don't know that George Washington would be a president today, I don't know that Abe Lincoln would, I don't know that Roosevelt would.

The President`s Triumph 2

Dear Mr President,
Some of us said it way back in September
That you would come back
And you have indeed!

Virginia and North Carolina stood by you,
Mitt Romney`s strong holds surprised you
A passion for you in the soft minds rose high for you
And you have made it.

The Middle Class and the worn out too stood with you,
The homeless and the jobless stood with you,
The taxes have to favour them for long
And you have to remember them ever.

Four more years of office and its challenges,
Mounting concerns on out-sourcing of human resources,
Handling the G8 woes and much more await you
And you have to be a more vibrant President now.

Iron heated in the fire twists and bends,
And the black smithy shapes it as he wants.
Your short past must have given you a shape
And now you carve out an America afresh.

You are Barack Obama the crusader of 2012,
All the best till 2016 Mr President.
The Obama reign should make the Republicans sleepless
And you can do it dear icon of the Democrats.

The unfinished tasks lie ahead
And a better America you can make for them.
'Good days are coming' is every ruler`s chanting
But see that 'just better days have come'.

When I went off to the army when I was 17 years old, I believed in America and the rights of freedom. But today I believe my government is lying to the American people and that my president, George Bush, is a criminal.

JFK Jr’s Hate America Poem

Imagine yourself at age 15,
And you the son of a President
Of the United States of America.

Would you have written this hymn of hate,
About the country your father served in war,
And the country he died for in Dallas?

Does this say what a Democrat is?
No wonder God took his life
Before he could further ruin this country

This poem of his was written
To be sung to the tune of
“America the Beautiful”

“Oh lovely land of racial lies,
Of crooked ways to fame,
From Kent State to Sharon Tate
We’re proud to bear thy name.

America, America, God spared his grace on thee.
From atom bombs to nuclear arms be proud of U.S.A.
And though you’re bad, we love you mad
You taught us right and wrong

Just look at Vietnam and the trouble that we cause
America, America God looks at us from high
To guide us by our forefathers cry,
Just like Jerry Ford.”

Since There are so many questions about what the president was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard? Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam?
