Analysis of Obama Speaks About his Friends
Rev. Right is a fine pastor
And with him I've excelled faster.
A damned America he thinks it is
And for years I've had the same view as his.
For years I've known Bill Ayers,
So I will excuse his terrors.
His bombings were not mine,
So with him I'm fine to dine.
Faracon is someone I look up to,
I share his ideals thru and thru.
I've sat with the terrorists in their den
And to me they are all fine men.
The public doesn't like these guys,
So for politics sake, I'll treat them like flies.
“They're not the men I once knew.”
There, hopefully That will do.
