I have a hard time listening to you
Dear, Mr. President
Not just because I don't agree with you,
But because...well, listen to yourself!
"I think we agree, the past is over"
Do you think?...because I hadn't noticed
"I know how hard it is
To put food on your family"
Really?...because I put my food on tables.
"If you don't stand for anything,
You don't stand for anything."
Wow, that was deep.
Never thought of it that way!
"I know the human being and fish
Can coexist peacefully"
Really, because I thought we had
BIGGER problems!
"You teach a child to read,
And he or her will be able to pass
A literacy test."
So, I guess that means you failed.
Dear Mr. President,
Please make some sense
You can really make me laugh
But this aint a comedy show!
This is OUR land
OUR soil!
Not some playground
To play GI Joe on!

Good stuff
And congrats on the trophy.
-
it got gold too! Have you read excerpts from some of his speeches? he doesn't think before he reads them or something. I mean, he looks like a moron, walks like a moron and sounds like a moron but I thought he had writers and I didn't think they were morons too. Maybe they write so it will sound like him lmao

I'm not a political person, but your title is the same as a song from 4 Non Blondes, so here are the lyrics, lol
Dear Mr. President
I'm looking outside of my window
the view that I see
is a child and mama
and the child is begging for money
tell me why, tell me why
the woman is blind
is she so broke
the kid's dealing crime
it's such a beautiful city,
but the world is burning it down
I go to my room to turn on the TV
I sit myself down
and I start laughing hard
'cause this man he's asking for money
he says "if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast"
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
One day I'm going to have lots of money
but I'll have to give it up for this rich society
oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'cause you'll just get it back
from the little blind woman
with the kid on the corner
and the people all over, doin' crack
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
with no one around
and I wonder what's wrong
then I hear this loud piercing siren
oh my God the bomb has just dropped
and everybody climbed right on top...scream-ing
what a - wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
(longest note...ever!) lol -

LONGEST for sure!
can i get an amen??

I couldnt stop laughing !
Wow, I remember when Essex, You, and I watched all of his quote on t.v. and we couldn't stop laughing ! D
But on the serious note, he really needs to stop and think of how ridiculous he sounds, and start to concern himself with bigger problems.
Oh well, no one's gonna change anything until VOTING SEASON !
SO SATIRICAL RIANNA !
-
I like the sentiments in this piece, congrats on the gold...peace
-
Well Done!
Damn, I guess that sums that all up, he is kinda bright ya know..lol...
Very witty, more then I can say for him for sure. Good one, congrates on the Gold as well sweet soul! 
-
ahahahaha, very nice. but how did you decide which quotes to use? there are so very many good ones...
-
LMMFAO! Write on poetess! Bush sucks ass!
I like the way you put down the quotes. A wonderful write!

-
Of course he has writers and never says anything of his own..do you think they just slip this stuff over on him?
LOL..this is kinda scarey..hope he isn't colour blind too ya know that red button...all kind of scarey scenarios come up. I always thought he looked like his mom and dad were first cousins. Just one more..""I'll be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie. I've heard about it. I hope you go -- you know -- I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I'm about to say." --George W. Bush, after being asked whether he's seen Brokeback Mountain, Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 23, 2006 -
Hey, awesome poem once again! Haha, it made me laugh. You definitely are very good at writing humourous poems! It flowed well and the quotes were great! I definitely needed to read another funny poem today! Awesome job with this, I really enjoyed reading it!

Hello,
This is Alisha. I'm the judge for this contest and I just thought I would let you know I read your entry.
LMFAO !!!
This was GREAT. I laughed through the whole thing. I think that I have two favorite parts:
""If you don't stand for anything,
You don't stand for anything."
Wow, that was deep.
Never thought of it that way!"
But my first choice favorite part was:
""You teach a child to read,
And he or her will be able to pass
A literacy test."
So, I guess that means you failed."
This was graet!
Goos luck in my contest -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I needed this SO freakin bad today....
I bout peed myself...
I think he is such a moron and an imbicile....
THANK YOU R
XOXO

In clarity
This poem taught me a lesson in a way, I had stopped listening to politicians, perhaps I should be more attentive , if they babble then it's a dangerous thing;
Your poem was prophetic in a way, people have stopped listening and looked more to their griefs, so leaders can say anything and get away with it..
Clarity is this poem...clarity,,those who listen
can know what is going on....even though we have no
power to change it , we won't be fooled.

THINK THRICE BEFORE YOU ACT ONCE
please preside over the meetings that preach non violence and spreading of utmost peace in every inch of the globe. Before you step down I pray not to soil your hands with innocent's blood. A red carpet then welcomes you to the relaxing life with love and affection. Think thrice before you act once. -
This is OUR land
OUR soil!
Not some playground
To play GI Joe on!
Indeed there is a real and roaring oice is here...but in politics roaring voice of the masses are often not heard...it remains in the poems and it eletrifies its light in the muse of the readers ...but still it is a great poem from the heart and I adore it my friend... -
Wow
Missed emotions here I love the piece. All the quotes are true but after all he is human just like us all. Any way I do not want to defend him or anger you. I am a ex sailor who still stands behind the president. Enough said on that. Great piece and really well written. I enjoyed reading it.
-
-
Thanks for coming into it with your own opinion (respected!)...and you're right, he is a human being, but some human beings just aren't suited to be in his position. I totally understand your point of view (being an ex sailor), but i'm a military wife, and I too have my own reserves about him, in a personal way (husband has been to Iraq twice!). That's all.
Thanks!

"If you don't stand for anything,
You don't stand for anything."
Wow, that was deep.
Never thought of it that way!

PREACH!
Another one of my favorite subjects. The unintelligible idiotic prowess of a man who proved that ANYone can grow up to be president, even a special ed student who went to an Ivy league school, because daddy was an alumni, pushed through with a 2.0 average (which is the equivalent of failure at a school of such caliber), who then moved on to become an alcoholic cocaine addict who derelicted his duty to his nation while in the reserve forces who then became CEO of many corporations that he drove into the ground, started his own oil company which failed worse than his parents, and later became governor of texas, drove its education system into the first layer of hell, illegally used tax revenues to make himself richer by using a baseball team, completely devastated the environment and couldn't even speak intelligently. *takes deep breath in* oh, he also believes that fish and humans can coexist peacefully...someone please shoot me so i don't have to think about the fact that this country was dumb enough to accept the lie that he was even elected honestly in the first place. -
-
yes, you got it all!...let's not forget that the 'american people' did it twice. So, like the saying he once attempted to say (and screwed it up tremendously!!): fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! Or...if you want a good laugh you can always try and say like he did. what an idiot he is!!! If ANY OF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, watch it for yourself : http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushvideos/youtube/bushfoolme.htm

I so love your write so full of truth! Speak out. You have done so well on this write. Excellent flow and content. Good luck in the contest

Ah yes... I don't really follow that much on tv, but I always hear about his ignorant and stupid remarks...
He isn't the smartes guy, mister Bush... I just keep on wondering how he managed to become a president. Luckily his daddy helped him with it...
-
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sad thing is...this is true...what has the world come to when our own president can not speak proper english????? He has really given us American's a bad name and made us look like babbling idiots...With all the money that his parents had, you would think that they would have had the best education, but I guess they were too busy investing their money with the Bin Laden family....Great piece and keep up the good work...
Good luck in the contest!!!
LMAO -- This is the best
"I think we agree, the past is over"
Do you think?...because I hadn't noticed
"I know how hard it is
To put food on your family"
Really?...because I put my food on tables.
"If you don't stand for anything,
You don't stand for anything."
Wow, that was deep.
Never thought of it that way!
"I know the human being and fish
Can coexist peacefully"
Really, because I thought we had
Bigger problems!
"You teach a child to read,
And he or her will be able to pass
A literacy test."
So, I guess that means you failed.

Wow! Great job with this one!
Good luck to you in the contest my friend!
Thanks for sharing it.
