The Lyrics
Obomber's State of the Union Speech, February 12, 2013
(President Obomber:)
As some day it may happen that a victim must be droned --
I've got a little list, I've got a little list --
Of society offenders who can never be condoned,
Who never would be missed, who never would be missed!
There's the Palestinian nuisances who voted for Hamas --
The Izz ad-Din Qassam Brigades and then Mahmoud Abbas --
And that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and mullahs in his hive --
And anyone that Netanyahu doesn't want alive --
And Muslim Brotherhood fanatics and each Islamist --
They'd none of 'em be missed, they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Congress:)
He's got 'em on the list, he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed, they'll none of 'em be missed!
(President Obomber:)
There's the Pakistani blogger who incites each would-be bomber,
And potential jihadist -- I've got him on the list!
And each al-Qaida Number Two who wants to be Osama --
They never would be missed, they never would be missed!
Then the pirates in Somalia, and that Joseph Kony guy,
Bashar Hafez al-Assad, that Korean singer Psy --
I meant that Kim Jong-Un buffoon (I can't tell them apart) --
Just like we got Gaddafi and Mubarak to depart;
And even any former friend at whom we now are pissed --
I don't think they'd be missed; I'm sure they'd not he missed!
(Congress:)
He's got them on the list, he's got them on the list;
And we don't think they'd be missed; we're sure they'll not be missed!
(President Obomber:)
And that Bradly Manning nuisance, and the Wikileaks cabal,
Each carping journalist -- I've got them on the list!
Chris Hedges and Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and Ted Rall.
They'd none of 'em be missed, they'd none of 'em be missed!
And Occupiers, Naderites, and members of Code Pink --
And anyone who still believes they have the right to think --
Or clutch their guns and bibles while still daring to resist --
I could go on and on but I am sure you get the gist...
Anyone we can't abide we simply call a terrorist!
For they'd none of 'em be missed, they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Congress:)
You may put 'em on the list, each and every terrorist;
And they'll none of 'em be missed, they'll none of 'em be missed!
As some day it may happen that a victim must be droned --
I've got a little list, I've got a little list --
Of society offenders who can never be condoned,
Who never would be missed, who never would be missed!
There's the Palestinian nuisances who voted for Hamas --
The Izz ad-Din Qassam Brigades and then Mahmoud Abbas --
And that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and mullahs in his hive --
And anyone that Netanyahu doesn't want alive --
And Muslim Brotherhood fanatics and each Islamist --
They'd none of 'em be missed, they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Congress:)
He's got 'em on the list, he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed, they'll none of 'em be missed!
(President Obomber:)
There's the Pakistani blogger who incites each would-be bomber,
And potential jihadist -- I've got him on the list!

Steven - Using Gilbert and Sullivan usually indicates a parody that's a cut above the usual, and this one didn't disappoint. Nice work and a veritable Who's Who of likely targets. Many great lines (nobody can tell you a thing about Kony, but his demise has been a cause celebre). ;D
Love your choice of OS and great pacing/word choices... I've got you on my list (the *other* one!)
