Mr. Obama's Inner Rhetoric

Posted by Charles Obama politics republicans democrats president Politics
Again, my son Henry, in his own words:   If there was ever a time to speak my mind, Then the time is now, and all mine, primetime, I've primed my mind, my verbage mixed, My thoughts picked from Plato's list, And diction so crisp fiction will cease to exist Not here to play games, name names, I'm here for Hope and Change You know my race So now turn the page In constant war, foreign and domestic Hectic, every mornin' injected With 'experts' infested in problematic

Hidden Hero

Posted by Charles politics Politics Poem
Tired of being tired I grabbed my sleeping bag roll Went from hired to fired From whole to hole I'm so far from home. Searching for handouts But no one's lendin' a hand 'Neath the stars I camp out So much for the promise land Broken promises from the man. Tonight, my breath shows And my life's compass Goes where no one knows For time is a thing of the past When hindsight hold its grasp. American flag patch Sits faded and torn On this dirty hat

My Son: In his own words

Posted by Charles Politics Congress politics
    Typically I'm the one in front of the computer writing my feelings and points of view on politics.  Sometimes my son sits and watches me, seemingly interested in what I'm writing.  Last night he finally asked if he could write down his feelings, in his own words; his own way.  Exicted, I eagerly said yes.  So, the debut of my son, Henry.   Truth and lies, from suits and ties Who's in disguise? Views demand more than eyes But who's eyes are open to compromise?

Woodstock on Wall St.

Posted by Charles politics wall st. woodstock Politics
     Let me tell you something.  For the past two weeks I've been walking down the streets singing "Give Peace a Chance."  In a time when "Debbie the Downer" and "Depressed Dave" are found on every news channel we finally begin to see a ray of light; a beacon of hope.  There are people, citizens of our United States of America, evolving into a pro-active machine that is standing up for its fellow citizens and against the corporations that have pumbled and destroyed the middle class.  We've got American citizens

We're Not in Kansas Anymore

     Somebody alert Dorothy! I've found the Scarecrow and the Lion! She's probably been worried, along with the rest of you reading this, but rest assured they've finally come out of hiding.  I see the Scarecrow right now, why he seems so jolly and happy.  Could it be that he's finally found a brain?

Working Class Hero

Posted by Charles Politics working politics hero class
     John Lennon once wrote, "A Working Class Hero is something to be."  I agree.  I can dive into the recent article posted by Yahoo about how members of Congress feel that their $174,000 annual salary isn't enough, but I won't.  I can dive into the fact that Congress claims, "that for the hours we work, our salary isn't that much," but I won't.  I can dive into their claim that they too, live paycheck to paycheck, but I won't.  I can dive into the idea that, to me, that's the biggest load of sh*t I've heard since Congres

Michele Botch-Mann

Posted by Charles bachmann politics Tea Party Politics
     I was listening to a Michele Bachmann interview on a local talk radio station the other day.  The host asked Bachmann what she would do if elected President.  Bachmann replied that she would repeal "Obamacare," rid public schools of un-mandated federal funding, and "get rid of" the Dodd Frank act.  Sounds pretty good to me.  Nope.

Oops.  Someone let the cat out of the bag.  Whoever said that "all men are created equal" is a fool, right? Not according to the infamous Tea Party and its advocates [Psych.
