I hope this is kosher for me to do since I am still a relative newbie (and slow to process things) on OS.
I just got the idea from scanner's awesome KKK poem.
I am encouraging myself and fellow Open Saloners to write their own versions -- a poem or ballad -- entited "The Bad Faith Obama Blues".
I know there have already been some great political poems cropping up.
Anyway, I will work on my own this week and post soon, but if anyone wants to join me I think that would be fun and enlightening.
Thanks for your consideration.

Update 5:30pm:
"We gotta turn off our tubes
all us played out (screwed) rubes.
To find the real and rude news?
THE BAD FAITH OBAMA BLUES!"

Go for it. I can't wait to read it and any others. There's a lot of talent on OS~
Classy man, scanner! ty.
Yup!
We can lobby the government to establish a, “Write Your Own Socialist Propaganda Poetry Day!”

Sky, wow. Sarcasm, why? Attitude and awareness have to come first. Awareness to Acceptance to Action. Educating each other. We poets have a place in this, too. That is social activism. We also have to do the walking the walking, I agree. There will be a tipping point of mass recognition of the betrayal of Obama and ALL the kleptocrats in Congress. And yes, we need to focus on a structure. I joined the Greens but the Greens need a tipping point into consciousness and preparation, too. I know I haven't answered your question on what to do. I am in search of it, but there needs to be ongoing communication and inspiration! libby
