EXCLUSIVE : Lyrics and video to "Baby Got Barack"

When I first saw this video over at Seeing The Forest I laughed so hard, everybody in the apartment rushed to see what the hell I was watching. This has been a big hit among my family and friends, so much so that I decided to contact the author and ask them for the lyrics.

manicwithmark was extremly gracious. This is what he had to say :

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I can't do Flash animation, and I don't look quite as sexy as Obama Girl in a skin tight tank top, so doing a picture collage was pretty much my only option. Some of the references were for stuff going on in the news around the time I posted it eight months ago, which during primary season is an eternity. But hopefully it still stands up.

I can't believe it has been around for 8 months now. I eat this stuff up and it just went under my radar. So without further ado, I give you "Baby Got Barack".

Words to live by

I believe we should focus our efforts first and foremost against those who attacked us on September 11 and who have thus far gotten away with it. the vast majority of those who sponsored, planned and implemented the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 Americans are still at large, still neither located, nor apprehended, much less punished and neutralized. I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task simply because it is proving to be more diffucult and lengthy than was predicted. Great nations persevere and then prevail...

I believe that we are perfectly capanle of staying the course in the war against Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking the steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion. If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize your posse first. Especially if you're already in the middle of a gunfight with somebody who's out after you.
