The Lyrics
The "yes we can" man is having problems keeping campaign promises. I matched only the sound of the first lines in the German text of TOS. The first two lines of each stanza usually are repeated.
O tan Obama cannot bomb
The Tora Bora mountains.
Where Taliban and 'Qaidans fly
And wait until eleven's July.
O tan Obama cannot bomb
The Tora Bora mountains.
O tan Obama cannot harm
Homes or civilian targets.
He'd rather have disabled vets
Than damaged mosques and minarets.
O tan Obama cannot harm
Homes or civilian targets.
O tan Obama cannot calm
The fears within free markets.
Secured bondholders he will screw,
But never friend SEIU.
O tan Obama cannot calm
The fears within free markets.
O tan Obama cannot charm
Republicans in Congress.
So many bills are stalled today
For which he claimed we can't delay.
O tan Obama cannot charm
Republicans in Congress.
The Tora Bora mountains.
Where Taliban and 'Qaidans fly
And wait until eleven's July.
O tan Obama cannot bomb
The Tora Bora mountains.
O tan Obama cannot harm
Homes or civilian targets.
He'd rather have disabled vets
Than damaged mosques and minarets.
O tan Obama cannot harm
Homes or civilian targets.
O tan Obama cannot calm
The fears within free markets.
Secured bondholders he will screw,
But never friend SEIU.
O tan Obama cannot calm
The fears within free markets.
O tan Obama cannot charm
Republicans in Congress.
So many bills are stalled today
For which he claimed we can't delay.
O tan Obama cannot charm
Republicans in Congress.
This is the eighth in my series of mutilated Christmas songs.

And may all your Christmases be "right"! ;D
Your line about "rather have disabled vets, than bombed out mosques and minarets" reflects a problem American soldiers have faced since Korea. We are increasingly a land where the best among us are led by the worst.
Vaht is he supposed to do - part the Red Sea??? I like your use of words.
OMR: Thanks, but the real question is, "How many Christmases are left?" Patrick: Yes, it's just PC (protect civilians) gone wild. 2Eagle: Why not? He claims the oceans will recede!
Hard-hitting and timely, as usual. :)
