Obama Sings MC Hammer: 'U Didn't Build That'

Video mashup flips the proverbial script on Obama's gaffe

Australian Hugh Atkin, the technical genius behind the Romney/Eminem parody video that rocked computer screens back in March, has now crafted an amusing boost for Obama dubbed "U Didn't Build That."

Set to MC Hammer's 1990 classic "Can't Touch This," the unofficial Obama 2012 campaign video riffs on the President's gaffe by turning the election year liability into an asset. Atkin renders "You didn't build that" a reference to a litany of presidential accomplishments Romney can't claim any credit for.

What's your take on the video?

[BigPoppaPhat]

Brilliant!

[CanisCanemEdit]

Funny as hell.

Not all accurate but well done.

Reminded me of the SNL sketches buffooning Ford/Reagan/Bush/BushII.

No worse than this one...

There is one on Rush Limbaugh too that was well done.

[Wilberhum]

Misrepresenting the facts is nothing new to politics. So why not take an out of contest statement and make more out of it.
Honest is the first victim of politics.

[Ventric]

LOL. My take on this video is absolutely hilarious and entertaining. Sums up his a lot of his controversies in one fun music video. Especially enjoyed the "subject-predicate" joke at the end.

[BigD1391]

I like the video.

[Stratton]

My take is that I think Australians should butt the hell out of our elections. The more foreigners declare their support for Obama, the less Americans will want to vote for him.

[Sonny]

Well I think that is not a problem after all he's got Netanyahu---openly trying to influence our elections ---against Obama...

[VCP]

@Sonny don't hit'em with the truth like that you'll hurt him. You gotta feed'em slowly, very slowly!

[Stratton]

@Sonny - That's funny, because it seems like it's Obama who has done his best to snub Netanyahu whenever possible. While I have no doubt Netanyahu would prefer Romney as President for multiple reasons, he's never made any attempt to inject himself into our election. And I challenge you to provide evidence to the contrary, or else admit that you can't.

[Sonny]

@Stratton All you have to do is stay current on your news events and you will see "yahoos" attempts to do just that all by your self..

[Lasvegas711]

Marxist theory, at work in America.

[anok]

Explain. This was made in Australia, you know.

[Rightangle]

@anok
I love the Aussies and they still like the USA. They are about the only friends that we have left that isn't trying to reach into our pocket. Have a very G'day mates.

[Sonny]

They can distort it all they want to...But the fact is that no one in this country did build their business with out a lot of effort by a lot of other people...somewhere along the way.....

[ir0nw0lfe]

You mean all that effort that those other people got paid to perform and then spent their wages in those communities which in turn fueled more businesses and employment opportunities.....yeah, that sucks.....

[AceLuby]

@ir0nw0lfe People who were paid by both the private and public sector. Which company created the freeway system again?

[ir0nw0lfe]

@AceLuby I would buy that but those companies pay taxes that build roads as well. Some get tax vrals hut that's because they bring more to the community than the taxes would.

[ir0nw0lfe]

@ir0nw0lfe breaks not vrals* but*

[lockboy]

Great!

[VVP]

LOL... cant we just let something humorous be humorous without trying to apply agenda to it? Even if you support Obama... you have to be pretty messed up to not see where that is funny.

[mimi57]

Very funny, quite creative!

[bsking]

This president would do well to try to look serious while there is so much evidence of his failures

[Jmb]

Obama does everything but run our country. He has no clue what he's doing. He's a joke.

[VCP]

Funny!! Not factual but very funny!!

[Keyjo]

Entertaining; good video!

[ir0nw0lfe]

Makes every bit as much sense as all the other speeches I've seen him deliver. It's funny no matter who you vote for. Sure better than slow rapping the news.....

[DARSB]

MC who?

[rafaelkafka]

Amazing! You are toasted, O.!

[1adam2]

didn't seem, funny at all. just a pathetic attempt, to try and make an error as if it was entertainment. just another way, to tell a political lie. how much more, can they embarass and humiliate the office of president?

[Pflack]

The Republican Party of today is the party of distortion, half truths, out right lies and fear mongering. Now that is a fact.

[FollowTheMoney]

That is a fact, but so are the Democrats. Hmm.....what to do, what to do?........How about the Libertarian or Green parties?... Yep, that what I'm doing about it.

If your not part of the solution....then you ARE the problem. ; ]
