Disillusioned Voters Ask for 'Obama That I Used to Know' in Gotye Parody: VIDEO
Although I wonder how these weepy whiners think they'd fare better with Mitt Romney, it's still hard not to applaud their make-up.

Artistically, a stunningly clever success. Politically, a simple-minded, whiny, and naive rant that completely ignores what Obama HAS managed to accomplish, largely in the face of complete obstructionism by Repubs who said immediately after his election that they wanted him to be a "one-term president." Google "Obama 50 accomplishments" and read the list--it's not negligible.

Towle is right. Whiners.

Changing the lyrics of a song isn't parody, unless you are parodying the song itself. Weird Al is parody, because by changing "Beat It" to "Eat It," he exposes the ridiculousness of the song itself. But using Gotye's images and song to critique the President is stylized critique of Obama, and NOT parody of Gotye.

This is one of the many reasons that unfortunately tell us that Romney will defeat Obama in 2012. Obama has lost the enthusastic support of many young people ( 18-35) who can't find jobs.

@Andrew: Actually, there is no evidence that Romney will defeat Obama, however much some wish it. The electoral college (the only thing that matters) is not tipping Romney's way at all. So no need to keep playing Debbie Downer.

The people doing more damage to the great O retaining the white house are not the critics who remind him about what he said to get elected, but the people who criticize anyone speaking up. I'm from Wisconsin, and the day before the recall to get rid of our wack job governor, the great one was flying over to go to Minn. and Chicago for his own fundraisers. He didn't lift one finger to help us. And then, he has the gall to phone contributors from Air Force 1 to say we need more money, we can't get outspent 8-1 like they did in Wis. Go back to Robert Gibbs who dissed the "professional left" because they caved left and right to the repugnants. The Obama Admin. response has to been to diss the ones that brung them to the dance. Then, "why no enthusiasm?"

Boy, these people are in for a world of disappointment if they ever get married and find out that the honeymoon doesn't last forever. There is a world of difference in running an election and running a country. Romney won't be able to do most of the stuff he is running on either.
I will happily vote for Obama because at least he is fighting for things I believe in. If he only gets some of them done, it's still better then having some of his successes undone.
