MEDIA
What's the buzz?
Tell me what your platform is?. (Repeat 8 times)

OBAMA
Why should you want to know?
Do not ask about the taxes
Do not ask about health care
Save policy for tomorrow;
Put Ted on display up there.

MEDIA
What's the buzz?
Tell me what your platform is. (Repeat many times)

OBAMA
I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.

MEDIA
When do we pull out of the Middle East? (Repeat many times)

OBAMA
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with timing?
Times and dates I can deny.
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.

MEDIA
What's the buzz?
Tell me what your platform is. (Repeat many times)

INTERNET GROUPIE
Let me donate to your campaign a bit. (Repeat 5 times)

OBAMA
Groupie, that is good,
While you prattle through your news cast,
Where and when and who and how,
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

MEDIA
What's the buzz?
Tell me what your platform is. (Repeat many times)
