Obamanomics

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

So, I was reading some Shel Silverstein the other day, and for some reason this poem reminds of the current climate in Washington.....

Smart

My dad gave me one dollar bill

'Cause I'm his smartest son,

And I swapped it for two shiny quarters

'Cause two is mroe than one!

And then i took the quarters

And traded them to Lou

For three dimes-i guess he don't know

that three is mroe than two!

Just them, along came old blind Bates

And just 'cause he can't see

He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,

And four is more than three!

And i took the nickels to Hiram Coombs

Down at the seed-feed store,

and the fool gave me five pennies for them,

And five is more than four!

And then i went and showed my dad,

and he go red in the cheeks

And closed his eyes and shook his head-

Too proud of me to speak!

I think this is what Obama meant by "change"......

Sounds about like his plan for America!

This used to be a great country.

Shel Sliverstien was one of my favorite song writers.

Yup!

The shrinking American dollar.

God help us.
