The Lyrics
I dedicate this good old American "Irish" song to our nation's #1 Irishman - President Barack O'Bama
Oh me name's Barack O'Bama, I'm the leader of the land
I won a landslide victory and now I'm in command
I'll fix up Bush's problems although it's beyond my reach
So don't dispair - I'm on the air! I'm going to give a speech
The media sing and proclaim me king, about me they emote
Joe Biden's foot is in his mouth and ACORN rigs the vote
And Nancy Pelosi's the one that we go see when we enact a plan
We're gonna make America Barack O'Bama's Land
Oh Hil-rey Clinton's here at my side, her presence calms our fears
We only wonder if she's gonna run in three more years
But for now it's great and how to have Hil-rey around
That is if she can keep her husband gagged and tied and bound
The media's awed and proclaims me god, to me it all devotes
Emanuel gives the bad guys hell while ACORN stuffs the votes
I'm putting the screws to that dirty Fox News, I'm wanting to get them banned
We're gonna make America Barack O'Bama's Land
I bowed to King Abdullah, I was chummy with Chavez
The crazy man who runs Iran is just another Prez
I charmed them in the Kremlin and made a such a splash although
Medvedev's just a figurehead and Putin runs the show
The media swoons and over me moons, Michelle and I just gloat
The national debt will be trillions yet, ACORN provides the vote
The government grows like nobody knows, it's getting out of hand
We're gonna make America Barack O'Bama's Land
I'm gonna ram through "cap and trade" and cure our nation's ills
It won't save the environment - just raise your power bills
My new health care is beyond compare, it's coverage that is maxed,
Although my good big union friends won't have their benefits taxed
The media bows and to me kow-tows, and over me it dotes
Forget my hip bi-partisanship! ACORN has got the votes!
So stop all your moping! The changing and hoping I promised is now at hand.
We're gonna make America Barack O'Bama's Land
I won a landslide victory and now I'm in command
I'll fix up Bush's problems although it's beyond my reach
So don't dispair - I'm on the air! I'm going to give a speech
The media sing and proclaim me king, about me they emote
Joe Biden's foot is in his mouth and ACORN rigs the vote
And Nancy Pelosi's the one that we go see when we enact a plan
We're gonna make America Barack O'Bama's Land
Oh Hil-rey Clinton's here at my side, her presence calms our fears
We only wonder if she's gonna run in three more years
But for now it's great and how to have Hil-rey around
That is if she can keep her husband gagged and tied and bound
The media's awed and proclaims me god, to me it all devotes

Very good assessment of "cap and trade" and very good parody.
News at 555 by OMR; pretty good summation of his first 6 months or so
Great parody. Look for the new Obama $3 bill, it will be worth as much as one old $1 bill. Coming soon, to a bank near you. ;-)
Thanks, and I appreciate that you know the differece between a comment or critique and a tirade. ;D
Laughed my shillelagh off.
"Welcome Back, Carter"... 5's all the way!
Very impressive, accurate summation. You're obviously not a journalist :)
One of my dad's favorite Irish songs. Wonder what he would have thought of our newest Irish-American president. You've pretty much summed up the O'Bama adminstration. For now, at least we can still laugh about it. When he goes the way of his buddies Chavez, Castro, and Ahmedinejad, the ACORN troopers will close this site down.
I admire your skill, if not your patriotism, or would you rather have the bum we just got rid of back?
Hi Michael - I respect your skills and humor as well. Your observations are not in the form of a rant, and you are to be commended. ;D My next offering will be less doctrinaire.
if Bush was so bad for passing the Patriot Act and several other laws to protect this country why hasn't O'boma changed them is it because he has'nt got the guts
lol. The name of this song reminds me of a Wanda Sikes gag. She once said: "The public is so stupid: They'd believe you if you said Obama was Irish. And all you'd have to do is put an apostrophe after the O."
