The Lyrics
A spokesman from the State Department has suggested that President Obama is planning to drop a bomb to reconnect with his base constituency (and make good on a campaign promise). A face-to-face meeting with Iranian President Ahmedinejad is supposedly in the works...without any pre-conditions of course. If Irving Berlin had programmed his teleprompter, we might have heard a message like this. ;D
Summer - Of Recov'ry,
But it's happening at much too slow a pace,
And my negative poll scores I must erase.
So I'll meet with Ahmanutjob face to face.
Anger - at incumbents!
Soon my Congress will have lots of empty space.
I am even hacking off my left wing base.
So I'll meet with Ahmanutjob face to face.
I'll be hailed in press editions.
They will re-assert my case.
I will break with all traditions
As I meet him face to face.
There will be no pre-conditions.
He will pick the time and place.
I will pull down all partitions
As I meet him face to face.
Israel?
Ahmed will not bother it.
He says he'll slaughter it
But he's a moderate!
(And so) I'll be - re-elected,
With Hil Clinton old Joe Biden I'll replace.
If it doesn't work I'll play my card of race
And deny I met that nut job face to face!
Why not? It is his "constitutional right", even though he "did not comment and will not comment on the wisdom" of such a meeting. ;D

And Iran will continue to work at getting nuclear weaons. Great job of "acing" all of the face rhymes.
Good song, at least something in this country is right.
Thanks guys. ;D
Interesting spoofing
Yup...pretty much how that all will go down :-) Well done.
I especially liked the way you used "Ahmanutjob" to subtract one syllable and keep the pacing. 555
I echo all comments above. Great job with this OS and loved your political parodies.
What Barry said. Another syllable and you have "Madmandigsjihad."
"Face to Face, what a great disgrace, to give madmen their place, without using some mace!!!"
Loved it, Ribber...
Thanks. Your comments mean more to me than all the one bombing in the world. ;D
