    RERUN–Ruler of the Auto Industree

    Brian Deese was one of Obama’s auto-industry “Czars”….for a time he was the Czar for General Motors. He is now Deputy Director of the National Economic Council where he’s “charged with coordinating policy development on several Administration economic priorities including tax policy, financial regulation, housing, clean energy, manufacturing, and the automotive industry.”

    I wrote this little song in his honor and posted it originally on 6/11/2009. To be sung to the tune of “Ruler of the Queen’s Navee.”

    When I was a lad, I was smart you see
    So I went to Yale to get a law degree
    I studied hard and I impressed some profs
    But I thought I could do better so I blew it off

    (he thought he could do better so he blew it off)

    I quit and went to work for Hillary’s campaign
    And they were really quite impressed with my most excellent brain
    When Clinton dropped out Obama wanted me
    And now I rule the U.S. auto industree

    (when Clinton dropped out Obama wanted he
    That’s why he rules the U.S. auto industree)

    I never sold cars at a dealership
    And I never worked the plant on the midnight shift
    Or stayed up all night a-workin’ on a car design
    Or fixin’ up the flow on the assembly line

    (he never even saw that old assembly line)

    I became a political man you see
    So now I rule the US auto industry

    (a political man most grand is he
    so now he rules the U.S. auto industree)

    I never had to wrestle with a P&L
    To prove that I could run a business really well
    I never executed any sales campaigns
    Or handled the logistics with the trucks and the trains

    (he never had to worry with the trucks and the trains)

    Instead I was chosen by the “O” you see
    So now I rule the US auto industry

    (Obama reached down and annointed he
    so now he rules the U.S. auto industree)

    Now kids everywhere if you want to succeed
    I’ve got some advice that you’ll do well to heed
    Don’t go into business as an entrepreneur
    Cause your odds of success they’ll be increasingly poor
    Just become a political man like me
    And some day you too may rule the auto industree

    (just become a political man like he
    and you too may rule the auto industree)
