Barack be nimble, Barack be quick
To seize the Federal reins of power
Your supporters tire of your shtick
And your grand promises gone sour

libido Dominandi
A Latin term known as 'Libido Dominandi'
Refers to corrupt politicians' 'Lust for power'
Who care not for the people, who elect them,
As promises from lying mouths, all too often sour
They cannot be counted on to do wats expected
Their only focus to do/say things to get elected

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

Democratic Dream Team?
Pressure mounts, as nomination closes
To add Hillary to “Dream team” ticket
Then through a “coup” Barack deposes
As she’s not known for “playing cricket”

Obama-Biden
Barack Obama with Joe Biden is alright.
It's been decided that new heights are in sight.
Obama-Biden is the team that is needed.
To bring an end,
To a deepening of treason.
Barack Obama with Joe Biden is okay.
The time has come,
To get rid of some bums.
They can restore a dignity that's missing.
The choice is made to stop a degrading.
Barack Obama with Joe Biden is alright.
It's been decided that new heights are in sight.
Obama-Biden is the team that is needed.
To bring an end,
To a deepening of treason.
And hopefully,
A decrease of deceit!

A land full of people are on pins n' needles
Placing hope on a “Savior” named Barack
Meanwhile Lame Duck cajoles n’ wheedles

Barack Hussein Obama II
Barack Obama in Berlin,
With words like a bard to put us in order;
But many minds will lay low to think.
Being one of his father's children among the four wives and,
A vision came to him to achieve the best of life with dreams;
Right from the beginning of things to fulfil his ambitions and,
As the right person to stand for the U.S Presidential race.
Care was given to him from every angle to push him up like,
Kenya where his father came from.
Barack Obama in Berlin,
With words like a bard to put us in order;
But many minds will lay low to think.
Here in Berlin with the advantage of his reputations and,
Using the opportunities in the U.S.A. like his father had;
Showing how great it is to share without racism and religion like,
Sunflowers in a sweet green field with the smell of an aroma:
Emitting with positive words to call us all together as one.
In the U.S.A. to reach out to the world with love and,
Now that he is running for the presidential seat.
Barack Obama in Berlin,
With words like a bard to put us in order;
But many minds will lay low to think.
Obama has made a name in this world so sweet,
Being rated among the best to bring us together;
Along the lines of war, hatred and peace like,
Masters of the act of flying to reach a place:
A memory of his visit will sit many down to think.
Barack Obama in Berlin,
With words like a bard to put us in order;
But many minds will lay low to think.

Barack
Affection,
You are my man so sweet on this love;
So come to me oh my sweet Barack!
Come home and sleep with me,
For, i have been waiting for far too long.
This night is meant for you,
This love is meant for you,
This muse is prepared for you,
So come home my sweet Barack! !
For, the moonlight is ready to see our nakedness;
And, you are so sweet on this love.

When people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago. He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work … because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.

What I worry about would be that you essentially have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply, majoritarian, absolute power on either side. And that's just not what the founders intended.

Tom-ed
Made...
They did,
Fortunes!
Off the backs...
Of those praised,
For representing a splendid ignorance!
To keep those of phased-out minds,
In exterior peacock mode!
Hob-nobbing with rich and influenced folks.
Hip-hopped out of these crucial times.
At least...
In accordance with some who find them,
Quite self serving and assinine!
One comes along,
With credentials excellent!
Educated, well spoken...
And comprehending with intelligence.
A combination that threatens,
Those who are 'monied densed'!
And all huddle together,
To demean him...
With their version of common sense!
Publicly setting out to prove...
A disapproval,
Can keep that one man 'tom-ed'!
Hoping to hear him cry 'uncle! '
But this one has no relationship to that!
He is Barack!
And will leave them all to be...
Barack Obamatomed!

4th November 2008
'I have a dream! '
And today the dream is fulfilled by electing Barack Obama;
'I have a dream! '
And the 4th November 2008 is now recorded into the History Books;
'I have a dream! '
And today Barack Obama is the 44th President of the U.S.A.;
For the Blackman is capable of handling his or her own affairs.
'I have a dream! '
And 4th November 2008 will be the date to remember always;
'I have a dream! '
For this date gave the First African American to be a President;
'I have a dream! '
And the shout i do hear around me is: 'Obama, Obama, Obama! ! '
'I have a dream! '
That today the Americans had recorded a History to us all;
'I have a dream! '
That the days of the Slavery gone by had yielded fruit today;
'I have a dream! '
And 4th November 2008 had taken us through to fulfil this dream;
So we can really make a change of our lives today.
'I have a dream! '
Today the First Blackman is Elected as the 44th U.S. President;
'I have a dream! '
That today there is joy in the African American Community;
'I have a dream! '
And for who the cap fits must surely wear it;
And today, the cap fits Barack Obama.

Mirrors Don't Lie
'Mirror mirror on the wall'
Who's the vilest of them all
Might be George, might be Bill
Perhaps Barack or better still;
Might be Rocky, might be Astor
They all are masters of disaster
Who always seek what isn't theirs
Who'll not set foot on Jacob's stairs
The time is ripe for all to wake
To set things right, Earth remake
Death-grip of Satan at last forsake
Of milk & honey we'll then partake
'God is Good and God is Great'
But man himself determines fate

The Revenge of the 47 Percent
In politics, it is acceptable to fight back with the ballot.
This long awaited election is about people with a lot
Versus the hardworking middle- class, which strives
Every day to earn a living, and to improve their lives.
The 47 percent is a powerful force made of retirees,
Veterans of the armed forces, recently graduate students,
Teachers, full and part-time workers, factory employees,
Health workers, paraprofessionals, and civil servants.
The list is infinitesimal, that's what makes this voting block
So potent and important. The next election will serve as a test,
For this true melting pot, which has the strength to move the rock,
In favor of Barack H. Obama, the one and only, and the best.
The best person who can lead and move this country forward.
Barack has proven himself in the last four years, despite
And in spite of the mess that he has inherited. The kite
Will only fly higher with his effective leadership, not downward.
The 47 percent will, without a doubt, fight back,
The 47 percent will vote, en masse, for Barack,
Because Obama is a very smart and savvy President,
Who cares for all, for the 99 percent, and also for the 1 percent.

A Do-Over Again?
I wrote awhile back about the Michigan and Florida Democratic Do-Over,
Because they violated the Democratic Party’s rules,
Now Barack Obama is the 44th President as of January 20th was that for sure?
In the hustle and bustle amongst all the bling and jewels,
There was a snafu,
At noon, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts who hadn’t clue,
What he was about to say,
Justice Roberts managed to mumble a few pseudo-dyslexic statements,
For President-Elect Obama to repeat, with some surprise,
After all was the Chief Justice caught up in the moments?
This slice of American History;
This Chief Justice will make history for centuries after his demise.
What a glorious event,2 million people attended, without one fracas of the law,
What moments that practically the whole world watched,
Glued to their TV’s, radios, I-Pods, and Computers,
Could have not believed what they saw,
A non-white man was going be the President of the United States of America?
But back to the swearing ceremony; the Chief Justice,
-well kind of ‘screwed up’.
Rather than embarrass the Judge,
Barack played along,
That’s when I knew he was for real,
Rather than create an upheaval of trying to correct the Judge’s words,
Barack went on with the flow,
No ‘up-manship’ here,
it was pretty clear,
That Barack Obama was our president after 12: 01 pm EST,
However he was repeating the words of a man, not the constitution,
Yesterday, at a private ceremony,
Supreme Court Roberts did say the correct words,
In which “President Obama” was sworn in a second time,
On consecutive dates in this institution.
