The story of Obama and US. A political romantic parody

Four years ago I was thrilled at the election results. I had heard Obama speak and he had such wonderful ideas. He wanted to make things better for everyone in the US. He said he could do it if he was given the chance. He said he would have affordable health insurance for me, something which I was in desperate need of. I fell head over heels in love with his vision of America. During that whirlwind romance I gave out bumper stickers and yard signs. I talked to everyone I met about him, even those not old enough to vote yet. So many of us were on board and were all going to be so proud and content with him running our happy little homeland.


The first few months with him were full of anticipation. Would this be the day he started working to fulfill his promise? He had just been elected though, and after all he had a lot to do before he could get down to business with what was truly important to him, our safety and prosperity and well being. I, like a lot of others, grew impatient with his detractors and defended him staunchly. Give him a chance, we said. Look what he was saddled with when he came here. He will do what he promised! We were hoping he would, anyway.


Eventually I, and many others, became impatient, and then worried. We hoped he hadn't forgotten us, because the alternative was too terrible to imagine. He couldn't lie to us. He wouldn't lie to us! We grew more and more disenchanted, but eventually he said he had a surprise for us. He said he worked long and hard on it, and it would satisfy our every medical, dental, and optical need. Joyfully we took the package from him and opened it, our smiles frozen on our faces as we looked, not quite believing what we were seeing. None of us knew what this was, but it wasn't any kind of health insurance we had ever heard of. What was he trying to pull? Disgusted, many of us walked away to clear our minds. Some never came back.


Those of us who stayed with him, tried to make it work. We gave him the benefit of the doubt when unemployment rose. He said it wasn't his fault, and how could it be, really? Well, yes there were things he could have done, but he had his reasons. He wouldn't ever throw us out in the cold. He cared about us. We were his American people. He told us so every time he spoke to us.


I don't remember exactly what happened the day I left him. I had been feeling so betrayed and neglected and just used for so long. I knew it wasn't supposed to be like this, but I kept trying to find the hope that he promised was there, and no matter where I turned there was only the change. The change was just some quarters and dimes and a few pennies, because he took everything else. I realized that if I stayed with him, it would only get worse. Then I heard the whispering. The business community was very nervous. They weren't willing to risk their money when there was a good chance they would lose it all. This could mean even higher unemployment, even fewer new jobs, and not just for some nameless, faceless town that I had never heard of, but it would effect my family too. My husband, my children, my mother, myself. All suffering because of his lies.


I turned on him quicker than an ex-husband caught in Panama City with the rent money and a hooker. Those years of waiting desperately to see if he lied or was telling the truth seemed like wasted time. I wasn't going to take it anymore. I walked away. I wasn't going to live like that anymore!


Tonight he came back. He had been telling me for months that I just didn't understand what he meant. I didn't give him a proper chance, and never really listened to him. I didn't open the door when he was standing out there all day banging it and begging me to give him another chance. I had it locked. I don't know who opened it, but somebody did. And now here he is. I don't know how bad these next few years will be, but I know that what he did to us all for the past four years will be done again, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll tell you one thing though. He can get his own damn sandwich from now on!
