Pearl Harbor’s been attacked! the Japanese are in the war!
Please spare me all this talk of hate; of violence, death and gore.
But sir! Our ships are burning, and brave men lie dead and maimed;
Their troops advance with loaded guns – it’s at our heads they’re aimed!
Well maybe we deserve it – we’ve been cruel to them you know.
We think we’re so superior; you reap the crop you sow.
But really, Mr. President, we urgently must act;
We can’t afford such sentiments – sir! we have been attacked!
Alright, if you insist then! Ask them nicely, to withdraw,
And if they don’t, try sanctions – on your way out….. close the door.

Good one and it makes the point well. And, the door must be closed and this interruption over so he can hurry and get out to the golf course.
Yes, he doesn’t stack up too well against some of the past great presidents, or even the average ones. We are having the same problem – it’s a disease of the West – He and others like him are creatures of the times I guess.
In our case, it’s because an ungodly society and culture produces poor think along with all the immoral actions.
Dennis, this is so powerful. I am speechless at the impact it has. Have to post it to my Facebook page.
Thanks Sandra.
