I've two poems here for Senator Obama's birthday; one is new and one is old.
They are:
1. "Oooh Obama"
and
2. "44 By 47"
Happy Birthday, Senator Obama!!! (August 4, 2008)
_______________________________________________
Oooh Obama
Out of oblivion, oppression, outpours outcries of our onus overheard, opening onto Order's own optimum operation, outshining, opening onto openheartedness, our own Orpheus, our own Opal, opening our Oyster, our Oracle, our Ode . . .
Oooh Obama!
Non-drama
Harnassing the panorama of the world
One whom is blessed by God
One whom even the strongest of winds
Ceases to howl
STOPS!!!
To hear the famed Barack!
Oooh Obama!
Gales dance at your command
Travel Earth's four corners
to wonder at people's adoration
Respect
"What manner of Man?
Who is . . .
Oooh Obama?"
The Disarmer
Of those who would seek to divide
Obama -- who audaciously proclaims
"'WE are ONE',
'Yes WE can',
'Together there is nothing
WE
cannot DO
or MOVE
or accomplish.'"
Oooh Obama!
Earthquaking powerful words
Mountain-moving, mountain-trembling words
Obama: the Mountain Remover
Putting words
Into action
Into CHANGE
'Tis the nature of
He whom is blessed by God
World-renowned-adored-respected-commanding-unifying
Oooh Obama!
He, with all Honour
Fiery
Extinguishing infiernos of iniquity and pain
Harnessing winds
Removing mountains
You are
Number 44 by 47,
For the 21st Generation
Oooh Obama!

" 44 By 47 "
Last night whilst I beheld the stars
One stood out as brightly as Mars
Reminded of the star of lore
Forty-seven and forty-four
Reminded of tomorrows' passed
Bright future ahead -- lying in the grass
Ne'er seem to see stars anymore
Except forty-seven and forty-four
A constant smile once was my way
"You ne'er smile anymore," they say
But now I've something to smile again for
Forty-seven and forty-four
Not a dimension, or a rhyme
Simply the right star for this time
It's in the Plan -- bright star o' the heav'ns
Obama's forty-four by forty-seven.

You do not like like sweets, do you Senator? Uh-huh. Your little girl "spilled it" on you, that you do not like sweets, didn't she? That ought to go over very well with the bakers and the bakeries of America, won't it, Senator?
Your daughter did a lot of talking, didn't she? Well, just pretend that one, or both of them -- Sasha or Malia -- made this cake for you, and chow down, Senator! Oh, and . . . Happy 47th!

Hope your day is restful, and pleasant!

Have things really come to this?
Have the times of staying up for 3 to 4 days with a spring in my step really past?
I'm tired, Man.
Whew, Mama . . .
Very nice of you to honor Senator Obama with your words, Dear Lady.
How Republicans plan to win, again
PT Barnum once said "You will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American People." Republicans think PT Barnum is a Great American.
I got a real kick out of your presentation here, a chuckle and a good time, but Imagine what happens when some truly STUPID Yankee takes what you said seriously.
Last week McCain accused Obama of injecting "race" into the race. Explain, in 100 words or less, how an African American Man, Running for President of the USA can avoid injecting "race" into the race!
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks for wishing Barack a Happy Birthday!!
Your support and enthusiasm fuel this movement. Thanks for helping to build the amazing strength of this grassroots campaign—Yes We Can!
Thanks,
Martha @ Obama HQ
Happy Birthday Senator Obama!
~~~~~ A LEO! ~~~~~

Creative • Proud • Risk-taking
Fun-loving • Dramatic • Dignified • Theatrical
Passionate • Affectionate • Ardent • Loyal

Physical traits:
Many astrologers believe that each sign of the zodiac has its own identifying physical traits. Some think of Leos as being usually tall, with thin waists, trim athletic legs, strong physical features, well-defined appendages (hands, feet, etc.). They are said to be tending to keep their head held high and look down their noses at others?, and have a mane of thick hair.
That is our Barak Obama!
Thank you to Martha of Obama HQ. Wanna bet that the Senator does hear/see this? He shall. He shall. I'm so honoured the poem is appreciated by the hardworking people at Obama of America Headquarters!
Thank you to the person who is giving me an early birthday gift, because she thinks the poems are good (what a surprise I got in email!, wow!)
You want to do something nice for someone, and another goes and does something even nicer for you.
Jerry P., my birthday is only several days or so away, and your characterization of the Leo sounds about 95% like me. Strange, because I don't believe in astrology. Take off the
-- desire to be in the spotlight
and
-- loves attention
and it fits me. Wow! Weird. I do pinch pennies. The polite term is "frugal", but I'm generous, too. I still do NOT believe in astrology, though.
So . . .
It really is all goooooooooood with people like you Neeetah.
Take your "meds", write your own post, and then you may speak to your . . . uh, "issues". I don't mind nasty comments, but keep your stupid photoshopped images off this thread. They are immature, sophmoric, and asinine, which is fine too, as they are a reflection of YOU, but not here, and not now.
So then, in the very same spirit that Bon Jovi intended:
HAVE A NICE DAY!
;=)
The Senator would be BEAMING about now.
Wouldn't you, number 44?
as it shall be a remnant of the campaign of
The 44th President of the United States
Wishful thinking?
Would you like to put some Cha Ching on it, if you think not?
I take on ANYONE who disagrees about just WHO shall win in November.
Brains, Beauty, Class, Personality. The things she must have endured.
Get down, Michelle, with your BAD SELF!!! You GOOOO, Girlfriend!!!
Career, a family, and trying to manage a Superpolitician husband's busy schedule, too.
WOW!!!
The "Cliff" and "Camille" of real life.
Two attractive energetic professionals with a family living in the "City".
Happy Birthday to you sir. I cant wait till you move in to the big white mansion...
God Bless
Honorable Robbie Flynn
Happy birthday B.O.!
