The other day I heard on the news,
Why don’t people love our President?
Don’t you realize like Jesus Christ,
He is heaven sent.
Just look how business has improved,
The chart’s all say it’s true.
Just don’t bring up the nine-trillion dollar debt,
That’s not the thing to do.
Let’s forget the letter,
One hundred-fifty Republicans signed and sent.
Joining him in a pact,
That if he signed a veto,
It would remain in tact.
Using the sixty vote rule,
And the President’s veto.
The farm bill and children’s healthcare,
Are the first to go.
Now today the Senate seemed to relent,
And overrode a veto by the President.
The one Republican rose to say,
This is an authorization bill, not lending.
And does not say where,
To get the money you’ll be spending.
To get the money will take a lending bill.
And trying to pass it you will find,
Our President waiting with his veto pen.
And then see if you can get the votes,
To override him again.

- I was 79 years old the 11th of March, 2008. At the present time I am home bound due to leg problems caused by my diabetes. I'm alumni of San Jacinto College in Texas. I started my travels with a hitch in the navy at the age of 17. I am a veteran of World War II, where I spent time in Shanghi and Tsing Tao. I followed construction as a pipe fitter all over the US and later to Isfahan, Iran with my second and current wife, son and daughter. Our travels to Turkey, Italy, Spain, England, Mexico and Canada. I started as a an apprenticed and worked up to assistant Superintendent. I taught industrial blueprint reading and math, pipe fitting and pipe bending at college level. My wife and I have been married 46 years. I have 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. In 2007, I started to write poetry, my current interest is political poetry, some very serious and some with a little sarchastic bent. Through the years I have found humor and sarchasm in particular to be a great ice breaker when meeting new people.

Democrats, Independents, Greens, Libertarians, reformed Republicans, we need to stand united against the crazies that hijacked the Republican party and ruined a great country. It's never been more important to show the rest of the world, we are not with him (George W Bush and his sequel McCain). Friend don't let friends vote for right wing crazies!!!
