Rush Limbaugh has a satirist named Paul Shanklin. Mr. Shanklin has come up with brilliant parodies. His best was a takeoff on the famous 1950s song by “The Coasters,” entitled, “Yakkety Yak, Don’t Talk Back.” His version, at the height of the initial Iraq War was, “Yakkety Yak, Bomb Iraq.”
It is in that spirit that I offer a satire of Barack Obama, who should guest host “Saturday Night Live,” since he is simply not ready for prime time.

(a previous satire of Congressman William “Weezie” Jefferson.)
I have nothing against Mr. Obama. I am sure he is a nice guy. However, I feel he is simply not up to snuff, and his recent comments on several issues reveal him to be a lightweight. With that, I present the song, “Yakkety Yak, Don’t Talk Barack.”
You’ve only been around two years…
You are still wet behind the ears…
You need to listen to your peers…
Before you spout off big ideas…
Yakkety Yak…Don’t Talk Barack!
Nobody cares that you are black…
It’s not your race that we attack…
It’s your ideas and what they lack…
An ounce of substance, that’s a fact…
Yakkety Yak, No Beef Barack!
You move so fast, you are so deft…
Yet you can’t hide from the hard left…
Despite your style, gab is your gift…
Again of substance you’re bereft…
Yakkety Yak, Enough Barack!
The USA’s military might…
Cannot be given to a neophyte…
Read the foreign policy books on your bookshelf…
And then come back in 2012…
Yakkety Yak, Not Now Barack!
America’s worried about Osama…
Yet what would you do Obama…
Hey do you even have a plan…
Oh yeah you want to bomb Pakistan…
Yakkety Yak, Shut Up Barack!
Barack I say this with respect…
I wish you nothing but the best…
You had a most impressive ride…
For a man whose just not qualified…
Yakkety Yak, So Long Barack!
At some point in the future, when Barack Obama is a trivial pursuit question on par with Kristin Shepherd (the woman who shot J.R. Ewing), this will all be something we can laugh about. However, given that we are fighting World War III, it is no laughing matter that a man with so little to offer in terms of anything tangible can be so high in the polls.
It is not the audacity of hope. It is the audacity of thinking that hope by itself is a replacement for actual solutions, and that waxing eloquent equals understanding.

I ‘ve been to liberal websites that are all excited over the prospect of a Hillary/Obama ticket. It’s starting to look like even Hillary wants to get as far away from Obama as possible. If there is some kumbaya moment between Hillary and Obama and this kind of ticket does come out, it will only further the fact that these two really think Americans are idiots.
Eric ! it’s good to see you have some fun.
Due to the impending length of this campaign, I am starting to find myself loosing that sense of humor that is so crucial to sanity, so its nice when someone pops up a lttle diddy like you just did.
We are not fighting World War III. The only people who want this to be WWIII is the jihadists. You’re playing into their hand.
Dear bro’s-in-Blogosity~
A minor correction: The USA already has won WWIII against the now defunct-USSR and its surrogates. WWIV is on tap against the Islamo-fascists, their fellow travelers and Lefty
lackeys. AMGD
We can not aford Obama as president, we need someone thats strong and willing to defend America and its people!
