Get serious about Obama

POSTED: Sunday, January 18, 2009
We're upset about the Wall Street rot
Not Barack Obama's skilled jump shot.
We're concerned about when the recession ends
Not Michelle Obama's fashion trends.
We're concerned about the credit crunch
Not what the Obama girls had for lunch.
If all this reporting does confuse ya
Then let's demand more than minutia.
