Financial crisis needs points one through four,
But wasteful earmarks – that's the cause of tears!
And remember who was minding the store.
Three million to study the genes of bears!
Iraq: ten billion a month down the drain;
Iraq is back in black thanks to our Surge!
While dissing the prime minister of Spain.
It's spending here at home that needs a Purge!
I face at my opponent man-to-man
And will refuse to look him in the eye!
And give McCain credit for what I can.
Obama's understanding's gone awry!
