The Lyrics

President Obama was already the most ubiquitous presence the media had ever seen. Now that his agenda has stalled, he has a surefire way to jump-start it...give MORE speeches and make MORE appearances! He claims that "It's not about me!". Yeah, right. Anyway, I offer this bi-partisan advice on the dangers of overexposure.


Obama's way too much - overexposed,
On T.V., news, and such - overexposed,
And those who used to shout
His praises now are quite burned-out.
He'll always give a speech - he can't resist.
He'll lecture, scold, and teach - he should desist.
And he'll go on and on
Each time his teleprompter's on.

When folks see you every hour
It gets sour - folks get bored.
You begin to lose your power,
There's no flower in your iv'ry tower.

If you're on every show, you'll see it's true,
It will seem like Big Bro - is watching you.
Beware of all the woes
If you become overexposed.


(Instrumental Break To Bridge)


Your adorers see you each morn
Even ACORN's become tired.
Your welcome is getting well-worn,
Viewers are torn - they would rather watch porn.

Just take a break because - it will bring cheer
Remember Santa Claus - comes once a year.
Saint Nick is smart, he knows
Do not become - overexposed!



Is this a teachable moment? ;D

I see you and TT were both thinking along the lines of "overexposure"... ;) A fine, fine write from the Ribber! 555 remotes, so you can change the channels in a hurry.

Good one, all too true.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing before I even got to FG's comment. Must be ESPN -- you and I doing "overexposure", and FG and I connecting the dots. (Personally, I like TT's variety of "exposure" better than O's, but that's just moi.;)

Triple sets of 555s to the first person to parodize the partisan picking on Palin's palm penning, while Obama gets a free pass on using a teleprompter for a sixth-grade class. ???
