100 Days

Before we begin to rate our new President, let us not forget the colossal weight on his shoulders.

The following is my updated version of Billy Joel’s song,
“We Didn’t Start the Fire”

Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Red China, World Trade
The Decider, Don Rumsfeld, Iraq was a no-go

Bin Laden, Taliban, Climate Change, Pakistan
North Korea, South Korea, Flu from Mexico

Detroit broke, vaccine, England's got the same queen
Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Somali Pirates, Mafia

Iran wants The Bomb, Baghdad, Pyongyang
Banks fail, Hunger swells, Poverty in Africa

CHORUS
He didn't start the fire
W. left it burning
with our heads all turning
He didn't start the fire
Obama didn't light it
But he’s trying to fight it

Vlad Putin, Medvedev, Russians still in Georgia
Mogadishu, Failing States, Never-ending Wall Street slide

Foreign debts, Injured Vets, AIDS, Crack, Pricey Jets
Palestine, Israel, Jihadists taking sides

Drug Cartels, Pope Benedict, Bathroom Politician sex
Troop withdrawal, Suicide, China owns the USA

Trading Gap, Afghanistan, Budget Gap, Sudan
Benazir blown away, what else do I have to say!

CHORUS
He didn't start the fire
W. left it burning
with our heads all turning
He didn't start the fire
Obama didn't light it
But he’s trying to fight it
