Still scary after all these years

It's nice to see a blog visitor find something written years ago that fits today's agenda. Here's a song parody from the summer of 2009 about the retired Procter & Gamble vice president's letter to President Obama.
With apologies to Sam Cooke, here's the parody that it inspired.

Obama you scare me
Policies that scare me
Obama you scare me
More than swine flu, more than swine flu
That’s what you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your taxes kill me
So much spending, it kills me
Obama, you, you, you keep spending
Without a clue

At first, I saw the infatuation
But woo, that didn’t last so long
Now I find myself wanting
To run screaming throughout the town
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Obama, you, you scare me
I know you scare me
Out of my pants scare me
Oh yes you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I hear you speak
I know, I know it’s going to be bad
Aaah, aaah, worse than swine flu, worse than swine flu
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, that you scare me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever I hear you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first, I saw the infatuation
But woo, that didn’t last so long
Now I find myself wanting
To run screaming throughout the town

Now you know, you know why you scare me
This letter I send you
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, please listen to me

Here's a video of the inspiration.
