We Didn’t Ask

Only in his glory we wanted to bask.

The National debt is getting bigger

The economy is getting worse

The government keeps trying

to put it’s hand deeper into my purse.

He promised us change

though he never clarified

If you get sick after 60

would you please lay down and die?

He didn’t tell us and we didn’t ask

only in his glory we wanted to bask.

We thought that with him we could go so far

Little did we know that he wanted to sell us a car.

When there are so many who can’t even afford to eat.

He bows to Arab kings

maybe even kissed the ring

If we point this out ” foul not fair” his true believers all sing.

If He comes demanding more money to pay for his spending spree

Tell him your out because he gave it all to AIG.

We worried about it when Bush spent Billions

So why don’t we mind when Obama is spending Trillions?

The honeymoon is over and we now see whats true.

And to think so many of us didn’t have a clue.

It\’s sad to know that the debt has increased in U.S. This is not healthy for both the country and the people as well. Anyway, may God bless yours. Thanks and have my liked it.

Great poem… and to the point.

We Canadians seem determined to follow you down that yellow brick road of spending our way out of recession.Just when I thought Stephen Harper was going to bring some sanity to Parliament.

In some ways, democracy is such a waste. Politians promise to spend more and tax us less – and they spend so much money campaigning to get themselves elected. As soon as reality (and mathematics) kick in and they have to admit that it is mathematically impossible to keep those promises, then we have another election.

Sorry for ranting. I’ll stop now.

The United States is over $13 trillion in Debt at this point and Has surpassed every other nation as far as huge debt goes.
Thanks to Obama and his minions we will collapse as a nation if we don’t stop the spending NOW!!
