Tom Daschle's farewell song

As my vacation ends, thoughts go to the health care reform debate. Part of the trouble Obama's plan had came after Tom Daschle had to withdraw from the cabinet due to tax problems. It slowed the momentum, and inspired this parody in early February.

Apologies to Hannah Montana and all pre-teen girls. But White House spokesman Robert Gibbs did say "Nobody's Perfect"

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Paying taxes is a bore

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Obama knows what, what' I'm talkin' 'bout
Republicans get in the way

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Obama knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Republicans get in the way, yeah!

Right now I'm in a jam
I've gotta make a plan
Taxes are crazy
I'll pay it anyway
No way to know for sure
I figured out the cure
Tried patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows
When I'm not doin' too well
I'm not real hard on myself

Nobody's perfect
I've gotta pay it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
Obama's learning
that I will mess it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect

My friend worked out a scheme
But then it flipped on me
Didn't turn out how I planned
Got stuck in quicksand
And no problem can be solved
Once TV gets involved
I tried to be avoid it
but crashed right into it
But my intentions are good,
Of course, yeah
Sometimes just misunderstood

Nobody's perfect
I gotta pay it
Again and again
'Til I get it right
Nobody's perfect
Obama's learning
that I will mess it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect

I can't hide it
I hope in time
I'll find a way
I sure ain't perfect
I tried to fix things up
And they fall apart again
Nobody's perfect
I tried to mix things up
now I'm getting it in the end
You know I am

Next time you think like
It's just one of those days
When it's getting hard to win
I can't hide my good ride
But I'll figure it out
Don't stay down, vote again, yeah!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody's gotta pay
Obama knows what, what' I'm talkin' 'bout
I want to get my way

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody's gotta pay
Obama knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
I want to get my way
I sure ain't perfect
I gotta pay it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
Obama's learning
That I mess it up sometimes
I sure ain't perfect

I gotta work it
I hope in time
I'll find a way
Nobody's perfect
Obama's learning it
Cause everybody makes mistakes
Nobody's perfect(Nobody's perfect)
No no
I sure ain't perfect
