With apologies to the bard...
Friends, Americans, reporters, lend me your ears;
I come to praise Obama, while you try to bury him;
The evil that Bush did lives after him,
The good is oft left with their bills,
So it is with Obama ... The ignoble Boehner
Hath told you Obama is ambitious:
But the fake CBO report is a grievous fault,
And grievously hath the media reported it ...
Here, under leave of Boehner and the rest,
(For Boehner is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak after Obama's inaugural ...
He is our president, elected by you and me:
But Boehner says he is ambitious;
And Boehner is an honourable man....
He hath created many jobs with his bill,
Whose income did the general coffers fill:
Does this in Obama seem ambitious?
When the poor have cried, Obama hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Boehner says he is ambitious;
And Boehner is an honourable man.
You all did see that at the capital
Roberts twice presented him an official oath,
Which he did twice recite: was this ambition?
Yet Boehner says he is ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak to disprove what Boehner spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You media did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to moan about him?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And CNN has lost its reason.... Bear with me;
My heart is in the Oval Office with Obama,
And his just cause will keep it safe for me.
