Obama appeals to Republicans to restore benefits

President Obama accuses GOP lawmakers of holding unemployed Americans hostage. He says unemployment benefits must be restored immediately.



Get Off The Dime

Obama to congress:
Let the out-of-work go.
For the unemployed hostage,
Let the benefits flow.

For more than two million,
It’s all unexpected.
He says “think of the people,
‘Stead of getting elected”.

The folks have expenses
That they gotta meet;
They and their children
Find they all gotta eat.

They all need resumption
Of government bucks;
For folks who’ve been furloughed,
Being out of work sucks.
