Song Parody: I Am Barack, I Need Ohio (October 30, 2012)

We may not have power, but www.obameter2012.com is far from powerless!

A week to go…and we count it down first with a song parody about what may be going through Obama’s mind right now…to the tune of Simon & Garfunkle’s classic, “I Am a Rock (I Am An Island)” we give you….”I Am Barack….I Need Ohio”…..

Election Day

The first Tuesday in November

I am ahead

Gazing at my spreadsheet, two columns and a row

I can tell my lead is thin over my foe

I am Barack

I need Ohiiiiiii-o

My team calls

Raised money by the billions

To keep up with Mitt’s Super PACs

I got turned down by Wall Street; Wall Street’s such a pain

I can’t outspend Mitt Romney like McCain

I am Barack

I need Ohiiiiiii-o

Don’t talk of Florida

Oh I won that state before

But winning there’s just a memory

I’ll carry Colorado -- and Nevada, too

But to make two-hundred seventy come true

I am Barack

I need Ohiiiiiii-o

I have my Ax

And Messina to protect me

I am wielding all my power

Fighting against gloom, so one-term ain’t my doom

I (now) punch Romney when he punches me

I am Barack

I need Ohiiiiiii-o

I’m Barack and I’m game…

And Ohio is the prize
