It seems President Obama’s trip to Puerto Rico enriched his campaign coffers by $1 million but left a bad taste in the mouths of some local politicians. Local Sen. Melinda Romero says the president failed to address the island high unemployment and soaring crime rate. She plans to complain to Puerto Rican leaders, stateside, and is demanding Obama return the money he raised.
Raising A Fuss
Some folks in Puerto Rico
Are really on a tear.
It’s all because what happened
When the president was there.
They say he raised a million
To expand his campaign chest;
Then bid a fond farewell
With their issues not addressed.
They face high unemployment
Plus a crime rate out of sight;
And now they feel Obama
Is indifferent to their plight.
Senator Melinda
Is angry with Barack;
She wants him to apologize
And give the money back.
