Obama That I Used to Know: Gotye Parody Takes President to Task
by Free Britney at .Nicely played, Internet. While Gotye’s hit song “Somebody That I Used to Know” is now massively overplayed, this parody devoted to a young voter's waning enthusiasm with President Barack Obama is worth checking out.
Like many, he longs for the "Obama That I Used to Know" ...
It's a fairly predictable effort, as Obama fatigue has set in even among many of his biggest fans, but the video has its impressive lyrical moments.
The painting of the singers, a la Gotye's video, into the signature Obama “Hope” portrait from 2008 is also a nice touch ... and surprisingly detailed.
Compared to today's political landscape, 2008 feels like an eternity ago. Oh, Barack. We could have been so much more than friends with healthcare benefits.
Obama in 2012?

ME & Christina's World - You two need to get a room and work it out, and quit annoying the rest of us with your childish behavior.
If only he had kept his promise to CREATE NEW JOBS which he made in a campaign speech in Flint, MI in 2007, I'd feel differently. Also if he hadn't claimed "Executive Priviledge" and hid things, instead of being the Transparent President he told us he'd be. What a shame!
