Do you know what Obama thinks about poetry?

We wouldn’t survive without it.

On Friday, celebrating National Poetry Month at the White House with poet laureate Elizabeth Alexander, who read a poem at his 2009 inauguration, President Obama made sure everyone knew what a sensitive, gentle soul he was:

"If we didn’t have poetry, this would be a pretty barren world," says Pres Obama. "It’s not clear that we would survive without poetry."

And…

"Poetry matters, it gives shape and texture and depth and meaning to our lives.

Obama has tried his hand at poetry himself; as a 19-year-old at Occidental College in 1982 he had two of his magnum opuses published in the Spring 1982 issue of Occidental’s literary magazine, Feast. One was entitled “Underground,” and featured apes that eat figs:

They are so asinine that I can’t bring myself to post them.

Obama thinks poetry is a bunch of Right Wing malarkey!

Given all the great thins he's said over the past seven years it's hard to believe that is the best Obama poetry anyone could come up with. Bush had at least one really good one:

by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher! [/FONT]

Has Obama really given us nothing we can use to mock him? Or is it that everyone who would ever care to mock him is really that unoriginal?
