Bad rap, bad singing, bad dancing, bad melody, bad cinematography, bad camera work, all in the service of suggesting that Obama will be a one term president. The horror…

I made it to the part where “Molotov” talked about how he used to make pies for a living.
And seriously, Molotov? Did someone already have dibs on the all-American names of Stalin and Lenin?
The dude brags about how public education “made him dumb.” Not sure about the cause, but he’s right about the result.

Xecky Gilchrist, a summary:
Think of Vannilla Ice & Milli Vanilli doing a rap. Then think of people worse than they are doing a rap about Pres. Obama being a one term pres.
Maybe like Cypress Hill, minus any of the coolness or minorities or talent or weed.
Another analogy: If the Osmonds had come along 35 years later & entered a Mormon rap competition (and I’m not being fair to The Osmonds here, I’m sure they could have done a better one).

Senator's Son
Fear not I bring you good tidings on the estate tax front!!
Buffy – call the home and tell them to take gran pere off of life support!!
According to an op-ed by EJ Dionne of Washington Post
Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) has put a hold on the extension bill, but one of the key reasons the measure is blocked is the effort of Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) to use it as a way of forcing a cut in the estate tax. Kyl is essentially leveraging the unemployed to get a deal on estate tax relief that would cost $138 billion over the next decade, according to estimates by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The estate tax has already been cut sharply, so the reduction Kyl is pushing along with Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) would affect the estates of fewer than three out of every 1,000 deceased, according to the Tax Policy Center.
The proposal helps estates worth more than $7 million in the case of couples. I guess struggling millionaires deserve the same empathy we feel for those without a job.

And notice this: Especially in the Senate, what passes for “bipartisanship” too often involves a Democrat such as Lincoln allying with a Republican on behalf of the wealthiest interests in the country. And we’re supposed to cheer this?

Heh. When you have Weird Al using autotune just to make fun of it, then you know its time has passed.
And most people with two brain cells to rub together know as well. Apparently, the makers of this video lack even that!
Paul in KY
The Populist, I think the autotune thing is because of Lady Gaga. they think that’s the only reason she’s a star (it’s not) & thus: sing in autotune.
I know she wasn’t the first to use it, but 2 of her big hits (‘Just Dance’ & ‘Pokerface’ use it some).

I had no idea that Obama was having such a negative effect upon the baking industry. Wasn’t the first minute of that thing a white guy bitching about how he can’t make pies anymore?
Omnes Omnibus
@Dave:
I think pie is a metaphor. He is talking about how, since Obama’s election, it is a crime to be white. Hence the reference to unbaked pie crust. In order to succeed to today, one must be “baked”, or browned in the oven. The thing about fat girls was simply gynophobia.
Teleprompt this!

“”Jason “Molotov” Mitchell is producer and host of the Christian television show Flamethrower.The video, you’ll recall, has supposedly racked up a million-and-a-half views on the conservative-leaning Eyeblast.tv. Among other things, it regurgitates the false viral e-mail claim that Obama refuses to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem, and claims that the Democratic candidate has been a disciple of racism, Marxism, quasi-Christianity, Islam and anti-Semitism.””
Looks like they have been after OTP since early 2008 with “not a citizen”, abortion videos, etc., via WND, of course.

@The Populist:
If you look at his foundation’s tax forms, available here, you’ll see, on a consistent basis, two very skeazy things:
1. Bunning pays himself $20,000 a year from his foundation. Since he claims to only do foundation business for one hour a week, this works out to just under $400 an hour for his services to the foundation. In no given year did his organization give out $20,000 in grants. Since the primary purpose of his organization is to collect money and give it out to various other non-profits, this is highly unethical, [especially given Bunning’s generous senatorial salary], though probably not illegal.
2. The organization’s total salary and personnel expenses, in every single year since ’02, have been greater than $20,000. However, according to these same forms, Bunning is the Foundation’s only employee of any kind. In other words, as far as I can tell, there’s roughly $10,000 just disappearing from the organization every year. I’m not a CPA, and there’s no conclusive proof here of any kind, but this is very shady, and quite possibly evidence of illegal behavior.

Um, had Constitution Kate ever actually heard any rap music before she recorded her verse?
Todd Dugdale
Molotov pretends that he voted for Obama, but he vows not to again. Constitution Kate really doesn’t like Islam. And Dolce seems fixated on teleprompters and autotune. MZA thinks that pretending to beat up some actors in SEIU shirts makes him an “extremist”, and he wears some laser safety goggles to prove it.
That about sums it up. Four people who didn’t vote for Obama in 2008 won’t vote for him again, so therefore Obama won’t be re-elected. It’s not any deeper than that, folks.
Oh, and putting a sticker on your car that says “OTP” is some kind of radical act that influences the entire electorate somehow. Concealing your face with a neck-warmer for a few moments between close-up shots of your un-concealed face shows that you are dangerous in some vague way. And standing in a gravel quarry is exactly like being in Iraq, where it smells like a mosque(??).
If you buy any of those premises, you will love the video.
