A Santa Barbara performance art troupe parodies The Wizard of Oz at Obama Inaugural Party. Written by Stephen Sherrill (except the Cowardly Lion, Anthony Kortick, who wrote his parts). Classic numbers like "Ding Dong the Bush is Gone".
Oh really? Obama is not really a King? You mean the actor speaking those lines was "Lion"? Oh no, oh no!! Really? He's not a King in real life? This isn't poetic license? A metaphor, based on the original song it parodies which is "If I Were King Of The Forest"?? wow...what a shock....hey give the guy a break...if we get financial collapse, more war, and fascism...oh wait we have that already!! At least give him a few weeks! And compared to Bush he IS a King! He's an Angel! A God! A Titan!
The above commentary is all accurate of course.... But lets give the new prez a chance! We must hold him accountable to his platform of course, but lets not trash the man before he's even stepped into the Oval Office! People are so relieved to see the back of the last 8 years of infamy and serial executive crime that there is a need to celebrate and have some fun... I really think we deserve that, at the very least. Excellent performance people, hilarious... and not a shoe was thrown! ;)

Obama is not "king," and he does not come from the land of Laws (Lozz). He voted for spying on Americans. He pushed through the Wallstreet bailout plans that benefit the overly wealthy at taxpayers' expense. And he won't get the US out of Iraq, and is increasing military operations in Afghanistan. The US has numerous PERMANENT bases in Iraq, one bigger than the Vatican (an independent country). Get ready for a financial collapse, more war, and fascism.
If i could do this all over again, I wouldn't. I feel betrayed by Obama.

In the sheeple's tongue: Obaaaaaamaaaaaa.
