Politic-itis

Dear Mr Obama I know you had hopes
And in your campaign you hit all the right notes
America's sick and its not rheumatitis
In fact what we've got is called politic-itis

Yes we're very sorry for attacks from the right
Which we know have got you up all day and night
Like a viral infection in Washington DC
The government is sick - it's been put on IV

Dear president Obama I know that you know
That you were our last hope for which way to go
Partisan politics need to go but instead
We find that the fighting and vitriol has spread

Its not your fault, no please I don't blame you
For this condition's not entirely new
But to be truthful we're all feeling blue
For we still have hopes that our pols will come through.
