In honor of the president’s inspiring self-confidence, a songwriting correspondent of DU, spending too much time contemplating the Democrat-Obama dialogue, has forwarded the following.“The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me,’” Berry told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”("Top Democrats at war - with each other").
"YOU GOT ME, BABE"
(Nasally, with plaintive oboe, to the melody of Sonny & Cher’s, “I Got You Babe”)
THEM: They say it’s bad, just like 'ninety-four
That Scott Brown broom gonna sweep us out the door
HIM: Let me be clear, this shall not be,
Cuz you got me, and baby. . . You GOT ME
THEM: You?
HIM: You got ME babe
You got ME babe
THEM: They say our chance has come and gone
Our trans-for-ma-tive moment has been blown
HIM: Well, maybe you’re all on the ropes
But I am still the fountain of all hopes
THEM, You?
HIM: You got ME babe
You got ME babe
[BRIDGE]
THEM: We'll face voters in the fall
HIM: And I'm still, The All in All
THEM: And these town halls! They're shoutin' us down!
HIM: The world's gonna change, becuz I'm arou-how-how-hound!
THEM: The polls say all our support is gone
The health care thing, that really turned out wrong
HIM: Just follow me, to my mountaintop
I have decreed that I shall never flop!
HIM: ME!
BOTH: You got ME babe
You got ME babe
HIM: I got you to vote for me
THEM: We lost bills we wrote for you
HIM: I got Ashton, and Demi!
THEM: We got Reid and Pelosi!
HIM: Oprah wants to kiss my cheek . . .
THEM: Dems resigning every week!
HIM: I'm in charge, and I won't let go
THEM: You can’t even close Gitmo!
BOTH: You got ME babe
You got ME babe
You got ME babe
You
got
ME
babe!
A Pelosi O'Bama duet, perhaps?? I'd buy that for a dollar.
