I don’t know if I was fully on Team “That neoliberal imposter Obama MUST lose” or not, but that song is funny as hell.

I’m having a bad internet week, so one of you people needs to comment, dammit! lol
He made a mistake: The President got a raise, to $200,000. I know – even doubling the pay probably wouldn’t have convinced Romney to take the job for real. The Election was obviously a scam, and the two Obromney Republicrats were working together.
The rich people and Republicans have never had it as good as under Obama: The Fascist Reforms, Torture of whistle-blowers, but no prosecution for banking crime or Human Rights Atrocities, the Dictator is now allowed to order Murders and pardon himself (we could have never gotten that passed under a Republican).
I agree, but I thought the lyrics said $400K a year? (Weirdly, I just had this debate with my husband.)
Tweeted. Recommended.
He does say $100,000 a year and the salary is now $400,000

Google compensation of the President of the United States. (Spoiler: It’s a lot more than you think. And the fringe benefits are divine.)
I do get depressed about politics from time to time, so I clicked on your link.
This did not help:
Of course you know whether you were fully on that team or not.
You know for whom you voted, don’t you?
And, from the way you chose to phrase it, I could hazard a guess on both issues.
As for the song, someone else posted this on another FDL thread today and I thought it much funnier….and much more truthful.

I misheard him, yes, it’s a lot more than the reported $400,000.
I’m ok with my feelings of ambivalence about a potential Romeny win.
I DON’T feel ambivalent about the need for a coordinated leftie third party.
Sorry you didn’t find the video funny!
Also, that rap news link is hilarious. Juice Media and Schmoyoho are my favorite youtube channels.
I wasn’t depressed, but it’s still funny.
Recc’d.
It sounded like he said $100,000 to me, and I then remembered the raise to $200,000 before I remembered the raise to $400,000.
Anyway, the singer should have enunciated more exactly.
