President Obama 'sings' 'Call Me Maybe'Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is so pervasive even the President's singing it. Well, with help from BaracksDubs, which mashes President Obama's speeches with hit songs. And considering that nearly everyone on the Internet has offered their version of what may turn into the song of the summer, it makes sense that Jespen's single would find its way to the Oval Office ... even if it's by way of clever editing. The President, of course, sees no harm in performing a little a cappella now and then, as he showcased his pipes with a bit of Al Green earlier this year. "I can sing," he told Rolling Stone in April of his impromptu performance. "I wasn't worried about being able to hit those high notes." We're sure that applies to Jepsen's earworm, too - think we'll ever see the President sing this one live?

Pretty element of content. I simply stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to claim that I acquire actually loved account your blog posts. Any way I will be subscribing for your feeds and even I achievement you get right of entry to constantly fast.
To Fearless Freep:
It isn't up to Congress either to create jobs. It's the economy, stupid. It creates its own jobs if government simply gets the hell out of the way.
I love how half the people in the comments section are bashing the president for doing this. Clearly you didn't even read the article or watch the video. How much are you getting paid to click on any link that has anything to do with Obama and pretend to be obama haters.
The gullible think he's a rock star, so naturally they'll also think he sings like one. The problem is when they also convince them selves that he's a good president. He's not, and it's time to get someone in there who doesn't think that raising taxes and making government bigger is the answer. And by the way, George Bush could sing better.
What the hell are you talking about?! He CUT taxes!!! You people are retarded beyond belief, unless your being sarcastic?! Wow....Speechless, these guys get what they want and don't even know they got it. And by the way, take my word for it, (must be new), government doesn't get any smaller under a Republican. Welcome to reality.
I'd call but you sure wouldn't want to talk to me!

Exactly what Pres George Bush did.... The REAL problem starter.
So tired of the Bush cop out. Obama has had 3 years. His record is on him. I didn't vote for Bush...but you can bet I won't be voting Obama again.
Would someone please offer him a role in a movie? Maybe a remake of Roots? Pay him a lot of money and get him out of the oval office. You're aways overpaying peope to star im stupid movies anyway and this would be a huge favor to the American people. Plus he already thinks of himself as a "star"! You could call it root-a-bama!
Why not call him defeated, or even impeached. Indicted would be better yet.
Our first Affirmative Action President shows what a failure Affirmative Action is. Totally imcompetent, but there because of his skin color, not his character content. (Apologies to Dr. King, who presently spins rapidly in his grave.)
Totally incompetent but there because of his skin color: Prefect description of George Bush. Got into Yale because of his daddy, got out of Vietnam and into the Texas National Guard because of his daddy, failed at business but bailed out by his daddy and his rich friends, and elected Gov of Texas and President because the filthy rich wanted a dumb bunny who would do their bidding. Sent young people to die in a war he started but too afraid to go himself – also true of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and dozens of others in his administration. Thanks for posting.
Really? I and pretty much everyone I know voted for him because of his policies. We didn't vote for him because he is African American. His race didn't matter to us middle class Americans. Just the fact that he is fighting for us, instead of for the top 1%.
Why anyone who isn't part of the top 1% votes Republican is completely beyond me, and I would love to hear the rational reason.
Idiot.
@jenny–
Uh, he actually DID benefit from Affirmative Action he even admitted it in a HLR article he wrote.
@kartman–
Oh get off it, you voted for him because he is the first bi-racial President and because he is a Democrat.
He had zero qualifications to be President.
The worst and most incompetent president in American history. Kick him out already.
Heaven forfend you actually read the story, teatard.
Stern,
Were you alive when GWB was president from 2000-200?. He epitomizes incompetence along with the Republican party as a whole.
The incompetence comes from the Republicans who obstruct his every move, because their primary goal is not the betterment of the country, but the replacement of Obama. They hold the economy hostage by threatening default, leading to a lowering of US credit rating. They stall most of his appointments to historically unprecedented levels. They try to thwart his reforms that would help prevent an economic collapse that happened at the end of the last Republican administration. Obama has conducted himself with integrity and persistence despite these obstacles. He is in fact one of the most competent presidents in history, who unfortunately has to deal with a Congress full of clowns and extremists.
Factually and statistically false. Thanks anyway.
PATHETIC !!
We hired you as a President not a Song and Dance man.

And this Bozo does a song and dance!
... and Nero played his fiddle while Rome burned
DID ANYONE TELL BIEBER?
The president did not sing this song... someone put it together to the music of "Call Me Maybe."
Do you honestly think Obama had anything to do with the production of that video? If so then I think the world will be a better place without people like you voting in our policymakers.
Know how I know you didn't watch the video?? Boy are you a dummy!
old cranky fart alert... go surf some porn gramps and go out with a bang when the reaper comes a knockin, which is prolly pretty soon for ya huh... u old farts screwed this country up and left us holding the bag... you sorry sack o shhh
Bill
you tard
Bill and others who I hope to hell are trolls....someone mashed this together from like 100 speeches...is that not painfully obvious? I really hope you're trolls.
How pathetic
“And there's no excuse–I’m not going to make any excuses. If stuff hasn't worked and people don't feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then you'll have a new president.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks on Economic Stabilization and a Question-and-Answer Session, Fort Myers, Florida, 2/10/09)
– You are correct Mr. Obama, there is no excuse. We would like our new President now please
obama holding fundraisers using that tramp Pinks "dirty little freaks" song
but media doesnt say a peep about that
Name calling does not suit anyone.
How the hell is Pink a tramp? She is a wonderful musician; amazing voice, amazing personality, and she writes her own music. Another thing, the song is called, "Raise Your Glass." Get a clue...
One page on the CNN web site informs us how LGBT people from HOLLYWOOD are heavily supporting Obama. So I should base my vote on what a bunch of ACTORS tell me? Nice. Then we have the news of The prez and his family going to a Beyonce concert. Now he is singing hit songs.
So, is he the president, or a celebrity? I know that I would prefer someone who can administer, not perform!
Did you read the article, tard?
Hmmm...singing. I'll be impressed when he actually does some &%^&%$#$%^ work. It likely will be the first time in his life...
Tard
Herp: you have not made an intelligent point since I started seeing your handle all over the place too many months ago, and you're calling other people names? Well done.
Bob....you tard
1) This was cute.
2) Are some of you so deluded that you think Obama had Axlerod commission someone to make this? People do this
stuff on their own.
If you folks who hated Obama so much weren't so IRRATIONAL in your hate for him, you actually might mount a cohesive argument against the man. Unfortunately, some of you are such heaving lunatics, you really do drive sensible people to Obama in droves... even those of us with certain ideological differences.
Here's a hint: First acknowledge the dysfunctional, mean-spirited, disaster that is the GOP, admit its failings, then state how Obama could have overcome them AND his own failings and how Romney will do better.
Otherwise, shut the hell up.
How about America the Beautiful!
n. virgin:
1.) We don't need "cute"
2.) this guy is really terrible at his job. And you still support him...for ONE reason.
Keep writing the truth Northern Virginian. I double that!!!
I still maintain that Obama is the tossed salad man that Chris Rock is always talking about. I bet he likes jam
Stay classy Mr. President: you've stolen my act as a lounge singer/flutist, you've stolen my syndrome where you just read anything they put on the teleprompter ... what's next, hosting the evening news in San Diego? Well I guess you do need to find some employment after you're fired in November.
really? You must be one of those delusional tea party members who really thinks a republican can beat Obama in November. How sad and angry are you going to be this November when this guy wins reelection. Oh boy, more rounds of tea party protests.
Seriously Mr. President? Your administration is an absolute train wreck, our economy is in the toilet ... and you're going on talk shows, singing, playing golf. Good lord man, at least try and act like you're not as inept as you truly are. This clown has to go ...
You know he didn't actually sing this right? Did you read the article?
Did you even read the article, tard?
Tard was so busy being happy to post anti-Obama rhetoric that he didn't even look before he leaped. That's a good tard. Have a cookie.
Herp: The article DOES mention the pres singing. Did YOU read this pile of c rap article? Or were you just too happy to lick OB's but t that you can't be bothered with the facts?
If only those of you that thought he actually did this read anything we might have a decently competent group of voters in this country. Maybe some of you should have listend to your mom when she said "look before you leap." And to those of you GOP-ers who are so upset with the other (non-administration) things Obama is doing, where were your complaints when good 'ol George W. was taking MORE VACATION THAN ANY PRESIDENT EVER and leading us straight into the mess we're currently in?
Chucker – he didn't sing the song in the video – you tard.
"Hit The Road Jack" would be more appropriate for Obama. Come November you are fired sir
So you'd rather have a guy that will make us all lose our jobs to "free" market China? Thank you but no thank you
Vote Obama to keep your Human Rights. Vote for Romney and you will live by "The Book of Mormon" which is the only way.
I love President Obama. #TeamObama2012. We need to really respect our President more. even though I did not agree with Presidet Bush I respect him as he was our President. Respect goes a long way.
I hated President Bush, I still do.
Why does it seem to me like half the anti-Obama comments are from the same person, just using different aliases?
Like most Republicans, its some six year old with multiple personalities.
Because they are.

As a Canadian, I find President Obama absolutely REAL. If your ungrateful society doesnt, please send him to us.
We appreciate a man who has a great sense of humour and a love for his family and country. Not to bad of a singer
either. So go ahead and elect some souther bible puncher folks. He sure as hell hasnt gone hungry,
In 5 more years, we will send him to you. In the meantime, he is ours.
Humor is such a great quality in a leader to bring about change and advancement. Unfortunatly many people in the US are not laughing as they still have no jobs, see the government spending out of control, and see him using real issues as political toys. It is often said that those that should be in power do not have what it takes to get there and those that are worst to be in power have all they need to get into those positions. I hope the next President is so boring that you fall asleep at the sound of his/her voice but gets the job done right. The only arguements I hear for Obama is don't complain about him. That is no valid reason.
As a Canadian....I say NO THANK YOU............the Libtards here in Canada were squashed..........thats why we have a conservative government........
"Call me irresponsible, Call me unreliable, Throw in undependable, too.Do my foolish alibis bore you?
This is the song Obama should be singing......................................
YouAreAll SoMad
Slight problem with you fellows on the Right saying that he will be losing the election....

______________________________________________________________________________________________
How do you say "LIKEWISE???!!!
Hit the road Barack, and dontcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
How original....
Slight problem with you fellows on the Right saying that he will be losing the election....

Please send Mitt Robme back to Massachusetts
Dont you dare, we dont want him.
When is this guy going to stop playing games?

It's nice to know Obama has a possible career singing after he loses the election.
I love this video and I love my President !!!
So are you faint next?
GOOD! You LOVE da' pres" den take his Mulatto ass and go back to Kenya where he belongs!!! You Idiot!!
PLEASE, please Mr. Obama, NO MORE!!! PLEASE give us a brea. I just wish these clueless/divisive guy would pay as much attention to our economic situation, jobs, etc., etc., etc. I guess once you get it in blood you want to be a performer wannabe, its impossible to get it out of your system.
But wait!!! Mr. Obama IS a good performer. He has managed fool a good number of the American populace for almost four years.
Now, now, IS THAT GOOD ACTING OR WHAT?!
You are an idiot.
People like you need to disappear from the world.
Exactly!! He's too busy being "cool" instead of steering us out of his trainwreck of a presidency...................
he has only been able to fool the weak minded sheep on the left.....he wont survive the next election......independants and even democrats no longer want him....this experiment did not work out....sorry
I'd rather call you Ousted.
Here goes the jealous GOP. Don't blame anyone but yourselves for picking Mittens the Robot, but you guys need a puppet so bad anything will do.
Seriously, if you use this as a factor in determining who t ovote for....well you deserve what you get.
GOP >> Call Me Irresponsible
It's Carly Rae Jepsen, not Jespen.
JEPSEN... not Jespen
Obama 2012 or anything else would be uncivilized, like that Etch A Sketch Robme guy who is a greedy bully who bankrupts companies to lay off people and fatten his swiss bank accounts
Wow don, could you squeeze any more DNC talking points into your posting? You should work in the media, they lap up this guy's crap almost as much as you.
This is great!! Very creative of someone....
President Barak Obama's songs beat DUBYA's – "Let's Stay Together" beats the heck out of "Mission Accomplished".

You cant even do that right.
What...he can't create jobs so he's learning to sing for his supper since he will be losing his this fall?
Do you wear your backside for a hat all the time or is it only on Mondays?
Its not up to the president to create jobs.
Thats up to congress.
What have your Republican congressmen done ?
N O T H I N G !!!!!!
freep: are you KIDDING? The GOP congress has sent 34 jobs bills to dem senate this year, and they are just sitting on everything so nothing gets done and they can say, "look, congress has not done anything either." Well done, libs.
