So far, he's done everything but set his own makeup gun to "whore"
or said anything that would make him presidential.

Meanwhile, in Obamaworld, Barrack sings one line of Al Green and is with a hair's breath of having panties thrown on stage.

This contest looks like it's shaping up to be boys against men.

The NRA is working hard to get him ready for this, I'm sure.

It's no "Let the Eagle Soar", but it will do.

His singing is consistent with everything else about him: uninspired a bit flat.

It was original when B-Rock did it.

Romney is an entitled, unimaginative twit.

For some reason his singing doesn't have the same power as Obama's. Maybe Android Romney needs to readjust his charisma settings.

Pretty much... That was god awful.

It's a shiatty song to begin with, but Mitt's tone deafness and stiff as a board nature makes it even more excruciating to listen to.

Once again, I am forced to ask: how can a man who comes from a political family who ran and won as a Republican in Massachusetts and who now, as the GOP presidential frontrunner, has access to the most ruthless election machine and the finest writers, spin doctors and consultants that the combination of PAC dollars and his own staggering personal fortune can buy do and say this kind of uncut, weapons-grade retard?

Unless he's so arrogant that he tells the pros "No, I got this. I'm going to bust some dope moves and rock the house prep school style. It's what the kids are into these days." and goes out there and just gargles a mile of stupid.

Mitt Romney won MA because he tried to sound reasonable. But one does not simply logic into the GOP nom. What we're seeing is the opposite of the movie Dave, starring Kevin Kline: a corrupt, wealthy politician is forced to pretend that he's a dumb, middle-class guy who likes sandwiches.

Depends are heavier to throw too. So it takes real bootstrappy effort.

The singing wasn't that terrible.

What's terrible is that speaking the words to the song has been his stump speech since Iowa.

It's finally happening, the presidential race is turning into an American Idol contest. I guess if your plan is to dumb down America you have to make the election a game show so the people will understand it.

I would find it amusing though to see all the candidates on a special presidential version of Wipeout.

When Obama did it it was obvious he was having fun. Same with Cain. With Romney, he just looked so uncomfortable. I can't believe he actually sang the entire thing.

1) That wasn't terrible
ii) That's a tough song to sing.
c) As someone who plays guitar and tries to sing, I refuse to criticize any amateur's singing ability. It takes a hell of a lot of guts to do it in front of people even if you aren't running for president.

I hope Obama crushes him in the general, but I'll give him kudos here.

It seemed to me Obama did it for fun, Romney did it because he felt like it would advance his political agenda.

Well hell, he's only got two settings.

"Will it make me money, or will it make me President?"

Bonus points if it does both.

That's because Al Green is what you use to seal the deal. Obama knows what's up.

I can see Mittens actually listening only to patriotic standards (and of course the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) in his car... The Obamas probably listen to music more the way normal humans do. Imagine going on a road trip with the Romneys... Sounds to me like his dog was lucky with the seating arrangement.

Obama has natural rhythm.

Also natural style, good looks and is a member of the human race.
