The 2nd Term Curse?

What can I say?  I'm a political junkie.

On the Sunday morning shows they talked about a curse;
Said that second terms, for Presidents, are always worse.
Often plagued by scandal - back as far as Jefferson -
Almost makes you think terms should be limited to one.

They could not explain the curse, and yet, it's proven true.
Here's what I don't understand; what did Obama do?
Didn't wire tap our phones nor commandeer our sons.

Didn't change the "talking points" as it was, falsely, claimed.
Guy who ran the I.R.S. was someone George Bush named.
Neither he, nor Eric Holder, hassled the A.P.
Yet, Obama's demonized throughout the G.O.P.

"Ten times worse than Watergate" and Bachmann would impeach.
This all seems political to me - an over-reach. 
Party not in power wants the other side to squirm.
Not the most auspicious way to start a second term.

The Benghazi Conspiracy? (cont.)

John McCain and Lindsey Graham - opposed to Susan Rice -
Went before the media to offer their advice.
Said they'd block Obama if he chooses her for State...
Personnel advice from Sarah Palin's running mate?

Both men say that, after our Ambassador was slain,
Susan Rice was wrong and thus, according to McCain,
There is a conspiracy that rivals Watergate.
They want Rice investigated... Not the head at State.

I was once a fan of John McCain's.  Not anymore.
Chose him in 2000; would have in 2004.
Not the man he was back then; now all he does is grouse.
Maybe he'd like Rice if she saw Russia from her house.
