Buzz Ballad: Obama Won't Meet

—apologies to Brian Elliot and Madonna and “Papa Don’t Preach”

Obama, you know that he’s upset
Because Israel’s worried Iran will get
Nuclear weapons, and
Mullahs are crazy

Obama likes leading from behind
Israel asked him to draw red lines
But he diddles with sanctions
And he just keeps delaying

He said Iran’s “just a small country”
Seems to support their hegemony
Turns his back on an ally—is it just that he’s lazy?

Obama won’t meet, with Netanyahu
Obama won’t meet, blew off Barak too
But he managed to find time to meet with Morsi, oh
He wants to meet with Morsi, mmmm…

Obama says he’s “got Israel’s back”
Claims that they don’t have to fear attack
Claims that they’ll be all right
Now isn’t that nice?

But the attacks upon our embassies show
That he doesn’t know what he thinks that he knows
His commitment to making nice with Islamists means…

Obama won’t meet, with Netanyahu
Obama won’t meet, blew off Barak too
But he managed to find time to meet with Morsi, oh
He wants to meet with Morsi, mmmm…

The president, it’s sad to tell
Is quietly sloughing Israel
But he wants deniability
Hoping for post-election flexibility…

Obama won’t meet, with Netanyahu
Obama won’t meet, blew off Barak too

But he managed to find time to meet with Morsi, ooh
No, he doesn’t like the Israelis
Yes, he wants to meet with Morsi
