Obama, "the Other"
Mitt Romney is
chiming in on the scurrilous Republican mantra that Barack Obama is something
less than a full American. From the
crazy "birther" issue to the more subtle claim that Obama wants to
make America more like Europe, the theme
is the same: Obama's views are foreign,
un-American and dangerous. Here Mitt Romney says that "Obama attacks success", that he is "changing
the nature of America" and that "his course is extraordinarily
foreign". It's a bit ironic that a
guy who has lots of his money stashed in overseas banks would deride Obama's
course as "foreign". As for
changing the nature of America, the Ryan budget, which Romney supports, would
certainly accomplish that by throwing even more money to the rich while taking
it away from the poor and the middle class. And finally, attacking success
undoubtedly refers to the lasting resentment that Bain's, and Romney's, success
came at the expense of the workers who lost their jobs at the companies that
Bain took over.
Republicans have got
a theme
That they will push
to make it seem
Obama's just not one
of us
He'll change the
nature of our land
Our life he doesn't
understand
Obama's just not one
of us
He thinks success is
something bad
It seems to make him
really mad
Obama's just not one
of us
He wants our freedoms
to be cropped
And European ways
adopt
Obama's just not one
of us
He spent his youthful
years abroad
It's no wonder he's
so odd
Obama's just not one
of us
So what's the cause
for this attack?
Could it be because
he's black?
