Real tough year. Hope’s not dead.
Must unite and move ahead!
Crisis loomed, big recession.
Had to act, avoid depression.
Things improved, not enough.
Middle class still has it rough.
Jobs bill needed right away.
On my desk without delay!
We cut taxes! (Awkward pause)
Thought that line would get applause!
Health reform not much fun.
Dudes, we gotta get it done!
Deficit (not my fault)
Need to bring it to a halt.
Security? We got in gear!
Troops are coming home this year!
Cynicism still runs strong.
Can’t we all just get along?
I don’t quit! Nor should you!
Come on, gang, let’s start anew!

Read this if you didn’t watch the speech! He’s got it.
Wish we heard you on PBS giving the speech summations. Thanks, Scott.
Yes, I agree with Alarie. They need you on PBS.
Brilliant! The speech in a nutshell. Reminded me of Shrink Lits – great literature compressed into tight, witty verse.
Thanks, Patty! I know Shrink Lits. A friend tipped me off about them a couple of years ago. Really fun!
Fun! Sharp, witty, on point! Thanks, Scott!
