SMARTEST PRESIDENT EVAR
"I, I recognize, though, you make a legitimate, you raise a legitimate concern. People say, 'Well, how can a private company compete against the government?' If you, if you think about it, uh... y'know, UPS and FedEx are doin' just fine. Right? Th-the, uh... No, they are. I mean, it's, it's the Post Office that's always havin' problems."
Please Mr. Postman (ObamaCare Remix)
Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Way-ay-ay-ait, Mr. Postman
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
If I qualify for surgery
I've been waiting a mighty long time
Just to hear from that doctor of mine
There must be some word today
About my much-needed hospital stay
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
What are my chances of mortality?
I've been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman
So-oh-oh unhealthy
For just a word from my physician
Saying he'll be getting 'round to me
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
If it's a gurney or a hearse for me
I'd like to ask, if you really don't mind
For just a minute of a specialist's time
So many days you passed me by
If I don't get help soon, I'll probably die
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
I've got worse health care than an Irish Setter
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
What are my chances, oh yeah, of recovery?
You know, it's been so long
Yeah, since I heard 'bout those lab tests of mine
You better wait a minute, wait a minute
Whoa, you better wait a minute
Please, please, Mr. Postman
Please check it and see, am I a casualty?
You better wait, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Please, Mr. Postman
It's not just a rumor, please look at this tumor

P.S. I'm starting a new group: Combating Republican Astroturfing Progressively. Getting nervous about my sales pitch to Axelrod & Soros.
P.P.S. Previous entries in the Obama Songbook here and here.
P.P.P.S. And of course, the "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" is provided by Arlen Specter.
