Presidential Bloopers

I would like to wish President Barack Obama well or rather more than that as he enters into the foray of running the country. A change is in order and we as the people as a whole should do our part to work hard to help the country out as well. However, this is not the goal of today's post. I am quite sure that people around the world including our nation saw the swearing in of the new president with the oath that was "fumbled." Rest assured we have the 20th amendment of the Constitution to overcome these verbal gaffes. We must remember that the president too is also human like us and mistakes may be made from time to time, especially with all those speaking engagements. In honor of the flubbed presidential oath, I would like to post some youtube videos of past follies in presidential politics. Please do enjoy:

Forge Forward

T.I. - No Matter What

Forge forward
The plans constructed
Deep in the mind
Put into action
Do what is right
Fight for the inner self
Beliefs formed fiercely
In the barren and solitude
Of darkened skies
And cloudy nights
Fear not the competition
The denials of your creativity
Show up to the ring
But not only that
Confidently deliver
The upsetting knockout

Forge forward
Always and forever
Others will deny
Your skills and aptitude
Theirs' is a blind distrust
Be not afraid
The path you seek
Through sharpened skills
And a hard work ethic
Goals will be attained
Atop the mountain
You shall valiantly stand

Forge forward.

A Yell Cries Out From Under

Beneath the smoke and rubble
Bricks fallen asunder
Glass shattered all over
A yell cries out from under

Drips of oozing blood
Drop down the forehead
Aching pain and bewilderment
Littered around with dread

This pain strikes deep
Like a destructive blast
Exploding with blunder
Is there life to even last?

The "rebels" fight fiercely
The gunships too in retaliation
At the heart of this matter
A two-state solution

Yet neither show civility
As civilians die and perish
Palestinians and Israelis alike
Life callously un-cherish

Extremism at the top notch
From the ground and air
The rocket attack unforeseen
As the innocent despair

Is this the Holy Land
Bloodshed and destruction
Hatred and distrust
God's plan and creation?

As the fight forges on
The suffering only multiplies
Exponentially within throughout
From out under a yell cries

Is there peace
A truce and resolution
Fixing the fracture
A conflict's ending conclusion?

Thousands of years of war
Hath not been able to solve
Time to meet at the table
The handshake of peaceful resolve

Urgently and make haste
This needed settlement
Otherwise face the wrath
Of hatred's accursed entitlement

Because beneath the broken
Destruction and despair
This child shall awake
How will he fair?

A yell cries out from under
The angry inferno must cease
For the future's sake
Settle the conflict in peace.
