Obama's Artistic Inspiration

There has been quite a bit of speculation on what makes President Obama tick. His personal history suggests a great deal of basic inspiration from Karl Marx, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Saul Alinsky, and Louis Farrakhan. But I also believe that the President took inspiration from Malvina Reynolds in his vision for American culture:
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
President Obama must have heard the Beatles, too, in his vision for ObamaCare:
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
Our President has drawn inspiration from a wide variety of sources. We, the people, need to listen to him carefully, become inspired, laugh him off, and vote Conservative.

I am not sure about he laugh him off part. Shout him down might be better.

I only say 'laugh' to replace the grief that is felt in that so many Americans have bought into his socialist rhetoric.
