President Obama – Lame Duck or Dead Duck

Lame duck – an elected official, often powerless in the final term of office.

Dead duck – a person or thing beyond help, redemption, or hope

Is President Obama a lame duck?

Or is he destined to be a dead duck?

Does his lowly job approval rating,

indicate his power is quickly abating?

Will the ACA see its final death knell?

Only the November midterms will tell.

Should he happen to lose the Senate.

He’ll veto repeal in New York minute.

We’ll know at his desk the buck stops,

And we’ll know health law’s repeal flops,

But then again, will he be a lame duck.

Or will he be a political dead duck?
