"They do not like you, Barack Obama..."

This funny Jon Stewart parody of Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go is still relevant long after its origin Jan. 31 airing. Video here (starts at 3:30 after the original segment about Obama's target shooting photo) and transcript here via a Daily Kos comment:



They do not like you Barack Obama,
Whether on a plane, a train, or llama.

They do not like you shooting skeet,
They do not like you eating meat.

They do not like you drinking beer,
or even if you roped a steer.

They won't like you with the monster trucks,
because, young man, they do not give a f**k....

They do not like you when you pray,
They did not like you anti-gay.

They do not like you cutting tax,
They could not stand when you wore your mommy slacks.

You cannot reach across the aisle,
Cuz everything you do is vile.

They complained when you killed Osama...

So, on a plane, a train, or a llama,
Rolling a 44 at Bowlerama,
Despite your nice white Kansas mama.

Comma.

They do not like you, Barack Obama.

But I really like Obama as a person, and I agree with most of what he does and says.

But the Republicans are just personally aiming for Barack Obama no matter what he does or says. The poem says it very well.
