Remember when it was considered racist to mock and/or criticize President Barack Hussein Obama? I sure do. It didn’t stop me, of course, because he’s always given me plenty to mock and/or criticize. (And because I know that the real racists are the people who try to stifle dissent with accusations of racism.)
Now everybody else is jumping on the bandwagon and laughing at poor Barry. And I do mean everybody:

Mick Jagger just said President Obama and everyone booed. And i'm not embellishing.

The smart fellers call it a “preference cascade.” I call it satisfaction.
Speaking of the Rolling Stones vs. the Droning Bore, in Feb. ’12 Obama said this:
And it inspired me to come up with some new lyrics to a classic tune by the Glimmer Twins. I hope you enjoy it, in lieu of me trying to come up with something new this morning before I’ve had my 5th cup of coffee…
Sung to the tune of “Angie” by the Rolling Stones
Algae, algae
When will those cars you run appear?
Algae, algae
The process still ain’t too clear
To Obama we give thanks
As we’re fillin’ up our tanks
You can say he patronized
Algae, algae
We’ve lost count of all his lies
Algae
You’re plentiful, yeah
But your worth is undefined
Algae
I slipped on ya
On that boulder at low tide
People think you’re kinda gross
As you squish between their toes
Scrub you off, you reappear
Algae, algae
With our drains you interfere
Oh, algae, how you creep
In the shallows and the deeps
Can we use ya when we drive?
Algae, algae
Barry’s hopes will you revive?
To Obama we give thanks
As we’re fillin’ up our tanks
You can say he patronized
But algae, we still love ya, baby
Some use for you we will devise
There ain’t a fuel source that comes close to you
At least that’s what we theorize
But algae, algae
You’re called nori when you’re dried
Algae, algae
Hey, at least Obama tried
