Heart & Soul
John Bennett
What Obama
needs to do
is read
All the Kings Men
or at least
watch the movie,
the first version
with Broderick Crawford.
He's getting nowhere
being Mr. Nice Guy
he doesn't resonate
with the sprawling
blue-collar white world
that although
it's on its way
out is still
the backbone of
America.
McCain & Bush &
all those
corporate lackeys
know this.
That's why
they ape
Huey Long.
Obama needs to
roll up his
sleeves for real
& jab a finger
in their faces.
He could be
the poor man's
salvation if he'd
just step up
to the plate
heart & soul...
