still appropriate, despite any hope to the contrary

We've taken all you've given
But it's gettin' hard to make a livin'
Mr. President have pity on the working man

We're not asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money
We just can't make it by ourself
It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us gong
Mr. President have pity on the working man

Maybe you've cheated
Maybe you've lied
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you're only thinking 'bout yourself

Too late to run. Too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say good-bye now
Mr. President have pity on the working man
Mr. President have pity on the working man

Randy Newman



It just keeps looking more and more like all that the GOP has to do to gain the White House is to not pick a lunatic. Sadly, there's no guarantee that they will pick someone sane, or that Obama wont do something that will turn off the base so much that their loony could actually end up with their finger on the button.
