THE GREAT PRETENDER

(Theme song for post: The Great Pretender)

It’s wonderful to be back in the saddle again here at GASP headquarters. I am so proud of all our members. Not a single one of you defected to the other side! I know, because all month I was tree sitting with my binoculars in Lafayette Park, right across the street from the White House. They let all sorts of kooks hang out there.

With just a little over two months in office, it’s pretty much been confirmed that Obama is not what he presented himself to be when campaigning. Slowly, too slowly in my opinion, people are waking up to the fact that this man is no moderate. One night I saw him out on the front lawn wearing his bathrobe and a crown, snapping his fingers and singing this song.....gasp..... with a little help from his ever-present teleprompter. WHAT??? He can’t even sing a song without that crutch?!!




OH, YES, I’M THE GREAT PRETENDER,
PRETENDING I CARE ABOUT YOU.

MY EGO IS SUCH, I PRETEND TOO MUCH,

AMERICA, YOU HAVEN’T A CLUE!

OH, YES, I’M THE GREAT PRETENDER,

RULING THE WORLD THAT I OWN.

I PLAY THE GAME AND I HAVE NO SHAME

FOR THE SOCIALIST SEEDS I HAVE SOWN.

OH, YES, I’M THE GREAT PRETENDER,

JUST LAUGHING AND GAY LIKE A CLOWN.

I SEEM TO BE WHAT I’M NOT YOU SEE,

I’M WEARING YOUR PAIN LIKE A CROWN!

TOO REAL IS THIS FEELING OF MAKE-BELIEVE,

TOO REAL WHEN I FEEL WHAT MY HEART CAN’T CONCEAL

OH, YES, I’M THE GREAT PRETENDER,

JUST LAUGHING AND GAY LIKE A CLOWN.

I SEEM TO BE WHAT I’M NOT YOU SEE,

I’M WEARING YOUR PAIN LIKE A CROWN.

NOT CARING THE MARKET IS DOWN!

The Prez

P.S. At the next meeting I will be asking for a raise. Your Prez is so on the cutting edge! I’d picked this song long before I heard it played in the background when Laura Ingram was filling in for our local talk guy on the radio. She played it for a few seconds as background for BO talking about something. I swear, I think she hacked into my computer. So glad she didn’t use my lyrics!
