Here are some of the better entries, in my opinion. I solicit yours.
President With Cult
Country of Birth We Know Not
Please Keep Your Koolaid
Words, what are they, now?
Electronic thoughts on screen
The prompter in chief!
Choose death is mantra
Introduce despair kill dreams
Attack from within
Umm...er..um..umm...hope
err...um...and...umm...errr..uh..."Change"
Teleprompter speaks
hero to the press
a reader not a leader
pray he’s gone in 4
What is yours is his
To feed the greed of others
Envy masked as hope
Air Force One goes fast
Terrorizes his voters
They’ll be back for more
Clinton retreads all.
Change has never before looked
So much like the past

O say can you see
hope don't come in black or blue
but red on a cross?
It's not fair to set the bar so high with the very first comment, Buck!
'Bama is the one
for some who, claiming wisdom
have foolish dark hearts.
Too grim?
Sorry Dan, but here's one to lower it a few notches...
change in my pocket
goin' jing-a-ling a-ling
hope O don't hear it
So-called Messiah
Only thing I am saving
Guns and religion
election is done
discontinue deception
arise now taxes
Guaranteed by Prez:
healthcare and spending for all
Yep: death and taxes
Freedom isn't free
It does not come from Ovals
But from the real Cross
Self-esteem has left
Prez needs encouragment. Where?
M-S-N-B-C
Tax the rich! We must!
Oh, but, wait, well not those rich!
There goes my kickbacks.
Tax! For you, you, and
Wait, Cabinet Appointee?
No taxes for you.
That's all I've got.
Doug
Increasing taxes
Man I wish Ron Paul had won
No more IRS
Angel of: "mercy"
to the liberal masses
"death" to the unborn
Adamantine heart -
Cold as a surgeon's knife-blade
To kill the unborn
Nor hard heart of stone,
Nor winter-cold will of man -
Move the mind of God.
Spring returns - God's sun
is bright on the dead unborn -
Shines through hardest stone.
My country was of Thee
Dying is liberty's tree
Unless all fall on their knees
A stench ariseth from DC
Some BO can be washed away
Other BO require much prayer and fasting
Haiku rebel.
I don't do poetry...
~Squirrel
Sorry...I should have looked up what haiku is before trying it. Apparently it doesn't mean "speak out truth about rotten corrupt politicians"!
Well, it's just that you have to speak out truth about rotten politicians in 5 syllables, then 7, then 5.
(c:
RT - I didn't know you had such a poetic way with words.
I'd turn my boys loose on this, but they're already... loose.
Obama-nation,
This is not the hope you were
looking for, is it?
I'm no expert, but I think what you're talking about is actually senryu, not haiku.
Senryū... is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction: three lines with 17 or fewer "on" (not syllables) in total. However, senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous...

Oops. That's a quote from Wikipedia. No plagerism intended, I just forgot to bracket it.
Oh Dan, haikus on The One? I would much rather write a limerick....
(If I can think of one, I'll comment later.)
Oh, Susan. And here I thought you'd be pleased. In a distant way, at least.
Oh...haha, I get it now. :D You mean the Asian influence, don't you?
Actually, the reason I like limericks so much is because (here I go derailing the meta) when I was in high school, I read a limerick in one of my English class text and was never the same again:
I sat next the Duchess at tea,
It was just as I thought it would be.
Her rumblings abdominal
Were simply abominable,
And everyone thought it was me !
The hilarity!!
All right...have a haiku for you now. (Need to think about the limerick--harder to write.)
Brother Thabiti
Should run instead of Barack….
Alas! Not to be.
Disclaimer: I used Thabiti as an example because 1) no less than a few people voted for The One despite his moral stance because of his race; and 2) I remember Candy once posting a comment on Pyro that said "Thabiti for President". Any other godly man will do, too.
And, Jay, nevermind the breaking of 5-7-5. Your pseudo-haikus are awesome...especially the second one!! (ROTFL over and over and over....) :D
hope change high ratings
billions to failing business
what about Darwin
Ahem. I'm ready now. Ahem.
Watch the empty suit
Our forefathers' best dreams, gone
We were played for fools
Previous version
Much better than the new one.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
[Oh, well -- I tried...]
