Presidential Musicology

Obama: a muddled-mess; a Niebuhr-ian flip-flopper; a John Cage-ian adopter of chance procedures; a point neither here nor there.
The score calls for a PRESIDENT–
a man Sostenuto,
a Well-Tempered Clavier –
not a free-floating theological realist, not a pointilist nor a tempo rubato self-centered-ess and certainly not 4’33”.
