2014: jacquelineoboomer’s Most Memorable Moments

by @JOBoomr

****

How can we form a memory
Of just one single day
When our lives in Obama’s time
Are enriched in every way.

The universe wakes up each morning
Looking for our President’s plan
And, lo, we’re never disappointed!
What.A.Man.

President Obama is his “brother’s keeper”
And he spotlights women at the mic
He calms down babies in a warm embrace
(Let’s face it) Everything he does, we like!

He leaps tall stock markets in a single bound
He’ll even work with Cuba and the Pope!
We’re in awe when he dazzles us with another act
So this is what he meant by Change and Hope!

Our precious First Lady
In all her grandeur and appeal
I think we’d agree is best described
In just one word: R-E-A-L.

The Obama daughters and their grandma
Are family members, also, to us all
Love all their winning ways and charm
And aren’t Malia and Sasha getting tall!

“They” call us Obots or Obamadons
Or what “they” think is a slur
I’d rather be on this side of history
Than live inside the right-wing blur.

One memorable yearly moment, Chips?
I.Think.Not.
Make that 365 days of APPRECIATION
From THIS Obamabot.

Happy 2015! Can’t Wait!
