I quite like it, except for all the absolutely random celebrities…they ruin the message a bit eh? It would have been so much better if Barak’s speech was just accompanied by the guitar without the creepy “celebrity singing a duet with dead Elvis or Nat King Cole technology”, OR, if they actually got real people to sing (erm..or just speak-sing) it …not millionaires.

It's a shame, because it's a not-half-bad idea totally botched in execution. If they'd led off and closed the clip with 20-second excerpts of Obama -- to signal, hey folks, Obama wrote all the lyrics to this! -- it wouldn't be as discordant and near-tuneless as it is.

Well, okay, maybe it would -- it's a mediocre song, too. Maybe Lenny Kravitz should've done it. Oh, no...wait, maybe not...

Is it just me, or is Idolator’s tone getting progressively more spiteful?

This seems like one of those ideas that sounded good at the time and, because nobody can ever just throw in the towel when they realize what they’ve done isn’t up to snuff, now we’re forced to suffer its existence.
