Just like the ant, Obama has the high hopes of the nation on his side today.  We just hope that the Rubber Tree plant of in-equality that starts in the USA and cascades down across the world like Thatcher’s trickle-down economics, can finally be moved.

Two recent posts amplify this disparity that exists across the USA and express the High Hopes for the future:

• The last best hope on earth -- from Jillian Greenwood
• Sick and uninsured in the US -- from Our Own Correspondent on BBC Radio 4

Lyrics to “High Hopes”

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin’ low
’stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back’s to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin’ that dam

’cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin’ bad
’stead of feelin’ sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They’ll be bursted soon
They’re just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
