The Obama riddle

It's just so doggone hard to be Obama, says E. J. Dionne.  That reminds me of something that's kinda funny, but mostly likely won't be appreciated by his supporters, Dionne here.  I was thinking of the Blues Brothers singing the song "Stand by your man" in the movie.  It game me a bit of a tickle to my fancy, so I thought I'd try to re-write the lyrics to fit the idea that we are just so mean to Obama that we need to lighten up a bit on him.

I wish I could put this to music, it would be a hoot.  Alas, I'm not a musician.

Stand by me man  by Barak Obama

Sometimes it's hard to be Obama
Giving all your love to just me, man
But if you love me
Oh, be proud of me
After all, I'm just The One

Stand by me man
Give me a hand to cling to
And some good news to come to
When good news is hard to come by

Stand by me man
And tell the pubs you still love me
Keep givin' me all the help you can
Stand by me man

Here's the video with the original music.
