I actually learned something interesting from “The Page,” Mark Halperin’s blog, today, and it is that President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History has designated June as “Black Music Month” and apparently will say something about that today at 3:00 from the White House (yet another diversion from this bunch; and yes, Repugs, it will still be called that if God willing Obama wins in November – sick).So in honor of the occasion, I came up with the following (based on “Eisenhower Blues” by J.B. Lenoir and covered by Elvis Costello, among others)…
Hey everybody, I was talking to you216 days to go with George W. (“Ball And Chain”) Bush, people.
The economy’s tanking, we’re all getting screwed
Mm mm mm, I got them Dubya Bush blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?
The planet is melting, we’re stuck in Iraq
Our jobs go to Asia and they ain’t coming back
Mm mm mm, I got them Dubya Bush blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?
Our government spies on our phones and our mail
While the telcos plead so they keep out of jail
And those Repugs who were always so “phat”
This year will mostly vote Democrat(ic)
Mm mm mm, I got them Dubya Bush blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?
Real news scares us, the media fears
So they tell us the latest from Britney Spears
Our country is crumbling – that’s the real threat
And all we give to our children is debt
Mm mm mm, I got them Dubya Bush blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

Dubya is on his Farewell Tour. Since when do presidents get a farewell tour?
Isn't there enough for him to do at his office?...he is a war president after all.
I hope that remark was tongue in cheek - I can't even use him as a point of comparison to other presidents, and I can't expect that I will ever be able to do that.
It was indeed tongue in cheek.
Good riddance george.
Word to that, yo.
