Lives In The Balance

Will somebody please tell President Teleprompter to stop apologizing to the world for the United States. We are not the bad guys.

I want to know who the man behind the teleprompter is. Just who is pulling Obama's strings and why the secrecy? We are all being played by Washington and are on the road to Socialism. President Obama has become a modern day Karl Marx. Most of the country does not see it because they are too worried about the unemployment rate, the ARM on their homes, or who will be voted off of American Idol next.

I think members of Congress should be required to wear uniforms just like NASCAR drivers, so we identify their corporate sponsors.

We have a very serious problem here and no amount of "feel good talk" from our so called leader is going to make it go away. We are going to be paying for this for a very long time.


They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire


remembering that there are lives in the balance is... on this cowboys mind
