Poor Johnny One Note.





                Back in the day Rogers and Hart wrote a song called “Poor Johnny One Note” about a singer who could only hit one note, and he rode that note to glory. Everyone covered it from Ella Fitzgerald to Judy Garland to Shirley Bassey (GOLD FINGA!!). The lyrics went like this.
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sings was this
Ahhhh!

Poor Johnny one-note
sang out with "gusto"
And just overlorded the place
Poor Johnny one-note
yelled willy nilly
Until he was bleu in the face
For holding one note was his ace

Couldn’t hear the brass
Couldn’t hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum!
          Our president is old Johnny One Note when it comes to the death of Bin Laden. Yes he snipes at the SCOTUS when he can get off a shot, and he still worries about the loss of Obamacare, the one issue that he thinks he was elected on and will be reelected on; in the words of LBJ on Medicare, The Beautiful Woman that could be devoured by Vietnam. Yet the loss of the House and the bare maintenance of his majority in The Senate seem to say otherwise.
          The growing problems in the Atty. General’s office also don’t look to be getting any better. Between Fast and Furious and the various race cases, he keeps on backing up. Did you know it’s against federal law to solicit kidnapping across state lines, who knew.  Yet no one from Holder’s office as made a peep about The New Black Panther’s call for the turning over of Zimmerman for a neck tie party. Betcha Ulysses S. Grant is rolling in his grave.
 And the economy just lays there like a dead flounder. Sort of like the Senate’s refusal to debate, much less pass any kind of budget, including those proposed by The President which fail by 100 to zip. I guess he hopes that we’ll all blame the Republicans. Well of course we will. Everybody knows that the only enemy America has in the entire world is the Republican Party? Racist, sexist, homophobic bastards!
So The President will continue to wave the bloody I killed Osama T-shirt. Hell, he even killed the deputies, oh yeah.
Sing Johnny One-Note,
Sing out with "gusto" and
Just overwhelm all the crowd
Ah!
So sing Johnny One-Note, out loud!!
