The Lefties' Lament: "Stuck in the Middle with O"

As we all know, the Looney Left now thinks of Barack Obama as some sort of "centrist"--"Bush Lite"--even though BO may be the most liberal president we've ever had. But he hasn't satisfied every DUmmie's wet dream of a Socialist Utopia, and so that has the DUmmies feeling sad--sad and angry and stuck. Nowhere to go. Sure, there's talk of "primarying" the guy, but how likely is that to succeed? And with whom? Alan "Dick" Grayson? But if BO ends up being the Dem candidate again, and the DUmmies decide to sit on their hands and stay home, how happy will they be with a President Moosekiller or President Magic Underpants? Thus the DUmmie Dilemma, and it is bemoaned in this THREAD, "Chris Hedges: 'The Left Has Nowhere to Go'."

But before we go to the DUmmie thread, let's sing the Lefties' Lament, "Stuck in the Middle with O." BTW, I was inspired to write this song by the news yesterday of the passing of Gerry Rafferty, who wrote the original that's the basis for this parody. Click the music link and sing along!

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH O
Tune: "Stuck in the Middle with You"

Well, we don't know why we bother to vote
We got the feeling we're cutting our throat
We're still screwed the same whoever we choose
And you're wonderin' why we're singin' the blues
Loons on the left are we, freepers on the right, here we are
Stuck in the middle with O

Yes, we're stuck in the middle with O
And we're wonderin' where it is we should go
It's so hard to keep this "D" in "DU"
Giving up, yeah, we're sayin' we're through
Loons on the left are we, freepers on the right, here we are
Stuck in the middle with O

Well, we thought life would be cushy
And we thought that he would cure disease
But his moves, they were so Bushy
Slappped us in the face, spurned our
Pleas. pleas

See the writing there on the wall
And it says that he's no lib at all
It's too late to get a bill on the floor
Yeah, we don't think that we can take any more
Loons on the left are we, freepers on the right, here we are
Stuck in the middle with O

Well, we thought life would be cushy
And we thought that he would cure disease
But his moves, they were so Bushy
Slappped us in the face, spurned our
Pleas. pleas

Yeah, we don't know why we bother to vote
We got the feeling we're cutting our throat
We're still screwed the same whoever we choose
And you're wonderin' why we're singin' the blues
Loons on the left are we, freepers on the right, here we are
Stuck in the middle with O

Yes, we're stuck in the middle with O
Stuck in the middle with O
Here we are, stuck in the middle with O

Now on to the stuck DUmmies, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, the wag tailoring the doggerel, Charles Henrickson--who thinks Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street," with its fantastic sax and guitar solos, is one of the best pop songs of the last 40 years--is stuck in the middle of the [Barackets]:

Chris Hedges: "The Left Has Nowhere to Go"

[But down.]

“The left has nowhere to go,” Nader said. “Obama knows it. The corporate Democrats know it. There will be criticism by the left of Obama this year and then next year they will all close ranks and say ‘Do you want Mitt Romney? Do you want Sarah Palin? Do you want Newt Gingrich?’”

[The DUmmie Dilemma: Stuck in the Middle with O.]

There is no major difference between a McCain administration, a Bush and an Obama administration.

[Barack McSame.]

Environmental and anti-war groups, who plead with Obama to address their issues, are little more than ineffectual supplicants.

[Dem Men Don't Hear Plead.]

Obama, like Bush and McCain, funds and backs our unending and unwinnable wars. He does nothing to halt the accumulation of the largest deficits in human history. The drones murder thousands of civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as they did under Bush and would have done under McCain. The private military contractors, along with the predatory banks and investment houses, suck trillions out of the U.S. Treasury as efficiently under Obama. Civil liberties, including habeas corpus, have not been restored. The public option is dead. The continuation of the Bush tax cuts, adding some $900 billion to the deficit, along with the reduction of individual contributions to Social Security, furthers a debt peonage that will be the excuse to privatize Social Security, slash social services and break the back of public service unions. Obama does not intercede as tens of millions of impoverished Americans face foreclosures and bankruptcies.

[Picky, picky, picky. . . .]

[So far the article. Now on to the DUmmie comments . . .]

I think a primary challenge is critical. . . .

[Alan "Dick" Grayson: In your heart you know he's NUTS!!]

The paradigm is being shifted toward a plutocracy more and more. . . .

[Shift happens.]

Might as well eat popcorn and crash through multiple movie sets then.

[Chillax!]

Let's face it, we have a clinton administration. Given the fact that the clintons have treated Obama like their house servant. . . .

[Benson Obama.]

Candidate Obama and President Obama are like two different people.

[The ol' switcheroo. The real Obama is being held in a storage room in Dick Cheney's basement.]

Emmanuel had a little device on his desk when he was in the WH where he could see Obama's every move.

[Rahm watched via his TrackBarry.]

I have a place to go. I can vote Green.

[Alvin Greene: Blacker than Barry and he needs a job!]

You can't vote green and be on this forum.

[Go join the GUmmies.]

Reminding me there is no where to go does not promote peace of mind.

[North Korea beckons.]

I would prefer having a sumo wrestler fart in my face over following Nader.

[We all have our little "quirks," don't we, ben?]

If a sumo wrestler farting in your face turns you on, go for it!

[Some Like It Sumo.]

obviously you prefer obama farts.

[B.O. Plenty.]

I have no loyalty whatsoever to the Democratic Party and I've been a member for 25 years.

I've been a member for 40 years and I'm right there with you.

[It's a contest! Who's the longest-time Democrat who will join our mass exodus? Rats overboard!]

I'd vote for a Dean party. . . .

[YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!]

My son is in the national socialist party. . . .

[Thank you, Mrs. Hilter.]

Why worry? The world is going to end anyway.

[Joycelyn Elders or Alfred E. Neuman? I can't tell.]

polls of ALL liberal Democrats (voters and non-voters alike) approve of Obama by a margin of 91%.

[DUmmieland is the Noisy Nine.]

Gosh I thought it was 523%

[That would be in only some precincts of Chicago.]

there are plenty of places to go. We just can't talk about them on DU.

[GUmmieland beckons.]

I have nowhere to go but there is such a thing as going nowhere. I might just stay home. . . .

[FarmVille beckons.]

You have nowhere to go. You have nowhere to go.

[Your eyes are getting heavy. . . . NO, WAIT! STOP! You will NOT hypnotize me! TO THE STREETS! MAN THE BARRICADES! DUmmieland is RISING UP! . . . Well, sorta. . . . In our minds, I guess. . . . That's where it's got to start, isn't . . . zzzzzzzzzzzz. . . .]

Well, I approve of Obama too when my only other option is "the other side". Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker, I'll take Luke.

[The Farts are strong with this one.]

The Left DOES have somewhere to go. It's a place called "the streets."

[zzzzzzzzzzzz. . . .]

I've got someplace to go- Canada

[Yes! Now you've got it! Go north, young DUmmie! And take your pals with you, eh!]

The Left should sprint to the Barricades !!

[zzzzzzzzzzzz. . . .]
