Congratulations to the winners of our “Limericks for the Next 1,361 Days” contest. And thanks to everyone who submitted limericks, but didn’t win.
If was a very tough decision, because there were so many really great entries. We finally narrowed it down to 17 finalists and argued back-and-forth for hours before coming up with the final Top 10.
Here, without further delay and in no particular order, are the “Top 10 Limericks for the Next 1,361 Days.”

A mandate the Dems thought he’d get
More liberal than center, you bet
But we never knew
How badly He’d do
While piling up trillions in debt

Our president knows how to parse
Golden words into nebulous farce
But he makes the crowds swoon
And sing along with his tune
‘Cuz the media kisses his arse.

If there’s one thing Obama knows
It’s that Gitmo prison must close.
But the only hitch
In making this pitch
Is where do we lock up our foes?

The Dems have made it their mission
To stamp out all opposition
They loudly proclaim
It’s Bush you should blame!
Let’s have us a full inquisition.

We all know that he was the One
The man with the post partisan pun
But congressional leaders
Turned true disbelievers
When he told them: It’s my way. “I won.”

If Biden was from Nantucket
He’d carry his hair in a bucket
He’d trap in his pail
Each strand that did fail
Instead he got plugs and said ‘what the hay!’

He promised us change and we got it
Though not quite the way that we thought it
To his left he owes debt
To his right, deep regret
And our kids will be broke cause we bought it.

Around the TV we all gather
We’re watching nonsensical blather
They’re in bed with Barack
It is all such a crock
I think I am missing Dan Rather

There once was a man named Obama
Who climbed out the vagine of his Mama
Hawaii or Kenya?
We’ll n’er know cuz Whenya
Ask all about it, there’s drama!
Submitted by rddionne
I’d like to hear from Barack
What he’d do in case of attack
No pandering words
For placating herds
I just want to know he’d fight back
And finally, here’s one honorable mention. It doesn’t get a prize, but it got a big laugh from all of us here at IHateTheMedia.com:

OBAMA SUCKS!
(Sorry, I’ve just never been good at rhyming)

The once was a man Obama; who told me I had two Llamas
It must be true; cause it came from who?
And that he would never harm us
Push me pull me
Thank you for giving me the pleasure
Winning your contest, I treasure
I'll keep on with rhyme
Though I haven't the time
But I threw this one in for good measure.
Sorry, but only three of these meet the metrical requirements to be limericks: Miss TC Shore's, surfdt's, and Doug from Upland's. If Eddie Po’ inserted the word "but" before "Nantucket", his would be a good novelty-ending limerick. The sentiments, however, are all top-notch! Congratulations to all chosen. And no, I did not submit any. And yes, I am being pedantic. Get over it.
I would like to thank the academy....
Thanks, guys. Good contest!
Whoo-hoo! I'd like to thank the Academy, and my agent, and my attorney, and all the little people who pay taxes. Great stuff.
It was a lot of fun, thanks for running the contest.
