Newt the Community Organizer?

In the debate on Monday night, Newt Gingrich stated the following: “ I am going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job, and learn some day to own the job.”

Newt did well in the debate -

He sneered at those who moderate.

His answers, filled with condescension,

Certainly got folks rapt attention

To him they gave a loud ovation

They stomped and yelled in adulation.

He says he’s out to help the poor

To learn the skills in fending for

Themselves, i. e., to find a way

to get a job, collect some pay,

and look for opportunities

within their own communities

to find a better job that may

lead to ownership some day.

But what Newt doesn’t understand

Is that poor folks in our troubled land

Don’t need his helping hand to score

A job – most hold one or more.

And they don’t need some rich elitist

To tell them not to be defeatist.

They want more pay for what they do

And jobs that have a future, too.

So Newt, please stifle your advice

Your condescension isn’t nice

And though it wins you some applause

It doesn't help the poor folks’ cause.
