Obama Tells Porky's Folks! Poem by Terence George Craddock

Obama Tells Porky's Folks!

Rating: 5.0


flashback time truth testing
contemporary third term presidential
list orchestrated litany of lies

tedious political repetitive recital
seed sown spin doctor false facts
planted in American public minds

rewind 2012 State of the Union speech
Barack Obama straight faced claimed
looking into camera lens lying proclaimed

'American
oil production is
the highest that it's
been in eight years.'

freeze frame flip back facts checked
source Congressional Research Service reports
96% of oil production increase comes

from oil fields out of Obama's
control! translation invaded oil fields
in oil war other countries folks!

translation American troops
deployed in foreign countries
where? follow profit oil trails!

Contrast! Oil Fields Barack Obama can control?
oops production from federally-owned oil fields
Obama does control dropped by 275,000 barrels

a day; but privately-owned fields
increased by 395,000 barrels
a day; Obama tells porky's folks!
