Next up, Mitt takes a shot at "The Thrill is Gone".

President Obama just seems so authentic, so comfortable in his own skin. Unlike old "the trees are the right size" guy.

Except when he's throwing a baseball. :D

That problem seems to run in the democratic party:

Wait til people hear Santorum's version of "100 Miles and Runnin."

SNL opening skit:

Cut to

Four captain's chairs on the set of The Voice

Keenan Thompson as Celo
Bill Hader as the Maroon 5 guy
Nasim as Christina Aguillera
Paul Brittain as the Country Guy

Out on stage comes just a voice -- sining a pitch-perfect bluesy rendition of "Sweet Home Chicago". We are at the POV of the judges, can't see who is singing.

As the song continues, CeLo spins first, shocked to discover the man singing is...Fred Armisen as President Obama.

Cut to the family camera, with Andy Samberg as Carson Daly, special guest star Maya Rudolf as Michelle Obama, and Jason Sudekis as a track-suit-wearing, break dancing Joe Biden, cheering for their man's success

Cut to Obama still singing, as Christina Aguilera spins around, clearly clueless that it's the president she's looking at. She's confused as to why the contestant's in a suit and has two secret service agents next to him.

Cut to country boy spinning around, sees that it's a black guy singing, and immediately spins back around. Nevermind!

Cut to Maroon 5 guy spinning around, getting turned on by they sexy bluesy rendition, then suddenly lunging at Christina as the scene ends with the two making out madly as Obama comes up to serenade them, while Biden crashes onto the set to dance like a mad man with Ce-Lo.

They all have some rhythm, don't they?

The thread should end here! Well done!

I agree... And I agree that these videos of him singing will make voters focus more on him the person, who they like, more than the job he's done as president, which has underwhelmed even the most liberal voters.

This is the second time I've seen you say this. Obama's approval among Democrats is in the high 80s to low 90s depending on the poll I look at. So I'm not sure what you're saying.

Romney's perfectly comfortable in his own skin. He's just not comfortable pretending to be a "regular guy".

And, as much as Dems mocked the idea of folks voting for Bush because they'd rather have a (non-alcoholic) beer with him than Gore or Kerry, you guys are benefiting from that now.

Who would want to have a beer with Mitt or Rick? I don't know if Mitt even drinks non-alcoholic beer. And Rick would bore the crap out of you.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

There are a lot of liberals who are unhappy/underwhelmed/disappointed with Obama's first term. A lot of that has to do with unrealistic expectations. Some of it is because they feel campaign promises have been unfulfilled... It's really nothing different than what most incumbent presidents face... Not everybody can be Reagan or Clinton...

Is it enough for them to vote republican? Never in a million years.

This. Well-said...

Gallup has Barack Obama's job approval among liberal Democrats at between 88-90 percent.

That's higher than Clinton was at this point in his presidency.

Your assertion is incorrect.

Obama would seem to be vulnerable based on general unhappiness with the way things are going, but the Republicans haven't trotted out anyone who has a shot at taking him.

As far as YouTube comments go, this one was unexpectedly clever.

If the president does it, that means it's not illegal.

One would think that a good republican candidate could beat Obama. Then again, I'm sure the democrats said the same thing in 2004.

It's hard to test your premise as there don't seem to be any good Republican candidates in the mix.
