Since I'm going to say anything to get elected And I'm hoping you'll believe my lies Here's a few other things I want you to swallow Smoking three packs a day is good for you Chimpanzees make good house pets Gambling is a great investment and will get you rich Eating donuts will make you lose weight Dinosaurs were made extinct by cave men Barack Obama is a great president So was George Hitler is in heaven Drones are here to protect you Cook you turkey for 350 minutes at 180 degrees The Cubs will win the World Series next year The Bears will win the Super Bowl too Bigfoot lives twenty miles northeast of Seattle The Loch Ness Monster isn't seen much because he's really shy Aliens would reveal themselves, but they like playing head games So when you go to the voting booth, vote for me Not that other jerk!

Some of the lies are really pretty funny, if you look at it like a standup routine, and not the truth.
Hi, mcradloff, Thanks for sharing your Campaign Speech. Barack Obama is a great president is one statement with which I agree; although I might have chosen the term "very good" and let history determine whether "great" would apply. As for sports, I guess I'll have to wait 'til next year to see how those Cubs and Bears fare. [I'll be cheering for the Red Sox and Patriots, of course.]
gnj4u, thanks for your comment. I did vote for Obama, but now I use the sign I bought in 2008 as a Halloween decoration during presidential election years, the next one will be 2016.
Spartacus2012, thanks for your comment. With the Republican landslide we just had in the last election, it will be interesting to see what gets done, or not get done.
