LYRICS
Now and then I think of that election day, November
When you won I felt so happy I could die
Chugged a fifth, paraded in the street
And I thanked God that Palin wasn't Veep
It felt like change and it's a hope I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of message
Like this is change we can believe in, yes we can
But college ended, had to pay my rent
At least you're the first gay president
But the change I got was that I moved in with my mother
Because you won and then you cut me off
Now your speeches never soar as high as unemployment
You took Obamacare so far
But you left me like a dog strapped on Romney's car
Even the shirt that was on my back
Is owned by China or being arbitraged by Goldman Sachs
Just send in a Predator Drone
'Cause now you're not Obama that I used to know
Now you're not Obama that I used to know
Now I need Obama that I used to know
Sometimes I think that Peace Prize winners shouldn't have a kill list
But you dumped Bin Laden in the sea so maybe it's all good
Said you'd rouse my economy
Your big package didn't stimulate me
Still my American Idol, though
When you sang, "I'm so in love with you"...Obama that I used to know
But you won and then you cut me off
Made out like you'd close Guantanamo and we got nothing
Relocation shouldn't be that hard
Just strap the prisoners in on top of Romney's car
No, I don't need you to legalize
Just keep the feds away from folks like you when you were younger
There's nothing that you didn't toke
But now that's just Obama that I used to know
Obama
That I used to know
Obama
That I used to know
Obama
That I used to know
In 2012 I need Obama that I used to know - Комедії
Wtf am I watching in the middle of the night
same it's 1:45

LOL, he sure has 1 hell of a voice dont he?
I think out out of all the parodies....this. One has the best body paint.
Yes
hbu look up "Some study that i used to know" i think u might change ur mind
@@hackersagainsttoxics3263 Not half as good
@@SStupendous still good nontheless
@@hackersagainsttoxics3263 Not as good as this one to me
"Some times i feel that peace prize winners shouldnt have a kill list" LMFAO XD
Best Line in the entire Video.
just keep the feds away from people like you when you were younger
What am I doing here in 2016?
now its about how we miss obama
Trust me, the majority ain't gonna miss obama. Nor should the minority, our country is in fucking shambles because of him, we literally had it better when Bush was bombing countries at fucking random and that's not a argument for the non-existant benefits of the Bush presidency.
people overestimate the power the president have. The REAL reason the nation is fucked is because of congress. When you have people that spend 70+ years in office The people who won't make a budget because they get paid no matter what. If we changed the laws to put in term limits for the house and senate and make sure that if they don't have a budget They are the LAST government workers to be paid, we might actually see some change,
Either remember what you did wrong in 2008 or 2012 or listening to a great way to hold someone else responsible who did wrong in 2008 or 2012

He has no idea who is gonna be president in 4 years.

donald trump if ur still alive

Priceless: "Sometimes I think that a Nobel Peace Prize winner shouldn't have a kill list".
And Nobel Peace Prize winners should have done something before getting the awarded.
I wasn't stupid enough to vote for him.
***** *clap clap* bravo sir
Kevin S no
Kevin S what
+effkanurr and instead voted for who? the republican candidates were far worse all the times. if youre proud that you instead voted for them then sorry but youre really stupid.
+Memento Mori And Obama is better?!?! HUH?!?!
'The change that I got was I moved in with my mother' was the best line ever lol
It's amazing how perfectly lined up to the wall decor they are at the end. right after they turn from the center!
The real joke is he's the same man, the lies are just obvious now.
You're a smart man.
He has done wonders for your nations really bad relations with other countries, And is trying to implement healthcare that the rest of the world has had for years but you seem to all be rejecting it.
They were always clear
Agree with Mulic, accusing Obama of 'lies' is just spiteful
Is he a politician? Yes, then he lies. If he was white and republican I bet you would not disagree. Damn internet racists.
Love how people want so much but do so little
I agree entirely except for the "love".
the "love" was sarcastic
nope it's free......for now 1SlyDaCat
1SlyDaCat
Careful.. Obama's IRS might tax your sarcasm
...assuming the men in white coats don't get her by then.
I'm Hispanic and I still think Obama was a horrible president. It's sad people think it's because he's black. It's not that.... it's the fact we tired of having a weak president who's scared to speak up for the country.
And then there is Trump.
You do realise a presidency doesnt mean you get to do things that you want. In a democracy, power is dispersed to prevent one person dictating everything. Especially when you have a republican majority in the house and senate you cant do what you want to do. Do you really think when the politics and rich have incredible leverage in washington, a mere president can do something about it? If he pushed hard for everything he would get impeached by groups that wont be happy with those things.
Here's a tip: How about next time you Americans vote for someone who actually epouses ideology and policies rather than just patronising you with broad generalisations about abstract notions like 'change'. He said his (incredibly simple) piece and you all bleated along like sheep. I don't know how you could trust a man so without so substance.
Some of us didn't fall for it. Of course some of us aren't uninformed or young kids with not a lick of wisdom. Helps that I had a Dad who grew up during the depression and that I remember the Carter years.
Well it ticked me off back in 2008 - I was a 17 year old British kid hearing that man's rhetorical nonsense and yet I felt totally powerless to do anything to combat it.
And hey-presto, America picked the wrong man... and then they did it again.
Every time I see some young California sort who comes over here to London and marvels at the UK's supposed civilisation when compared to the US, I just wish that I could take his passport straight off him and hand over mine. It's sad that some of us overseas can better appreciate America than the natives... The misguided youth can come over here to Europe and spend some time living with socialism for themselves.
Because white guilt.. Seriously, allot of people were accused of being racist for not wanting to vote for him... Funny how that works.
the wonderful thing about generalizing is that it allows the masses to create their own picture about the broad idea that the manipulator has in mind even if that method or end result won't occur in that fashion, if at all. if you identify yourself as following a specific idea, from points A-Z, then anyone who doesn't like points E, L, P, etc. will ultimately not follow you. By only saying points A and Z, then the middle part, or the way in which the operation is committed, is left to the voter's imagination, even if it is a far cry from the actual outcome. it's a neat trick that works on the growing uneducated, lazy, and uninformed public that will ultimately pick the manipulator's plan because it seems to fit better with what they imagine is a better plan. and then once their leader is in power, they wonder why things aren't going as they planned.
Here's another tip: There's always someone who is and who isn't satisfied with your president. I wonder why, oh wait no I don't.
I've seen so many parodies of this song...all of them brilliant. Very clever, unique, and genuine. Props to all of you
Wow...if he only knew the shitshow of a president barreling towards him beginning in 2017
2924 : and if you only knew the shit show after that!
Obama: YES WE CAN BUT NO WE WONT.
At the end did u hear someone say "he's a jackass"? XD
That was Obama in reference to Kanye West haha
Yeah it was the dude I was literally rofl when I heard that and it's so true!
Trump makes people appreciate Obama now.
PrinceofGreatness Nope. Obama was a terrible president.
Yeah, I hate it when people say Obama is better than a Trump. Obama is just a sheep.
slightlyoutofreach01
Which we MIGHT just do... it looks like she might win DESPITE the crap she's done...
PrinceofGreatness lol yea
No way!!!!
It's 2017 and i'm still watching this...
He isn't a bad guy, but I've always known since 2008 he wasn't gonna live up to his promises, and of course I was right, he is an awful president and no to all you liberals just because I hate him doesn't mean I'm racist you can't keep saying that. There are many blacks who don't like Obama, are they racist too? We need a great president who can change this country and bring it back to its glory days. Donald Trump is an entertainer and a great businessman, but I don't think he would be fit for president. I like his ideals about how America is too politically correct and such but I really don't think he would be a good president, probably better than Obama but not a great president. We need another Reagan or someone like that. I just hope in the future America finally produces another great president.
You need somebody who doesnt invade countries.
he break his promise. he a bad guy.
+Iamthedoctor10 Reagan wasn't that great he took us off the gold standard and caused tons of inflation. He was a very patriotic man yes, but a terrible economist.
+Lee Cason Not sure if you were alive back then, Reagan wasn't the one who took us off the gold standard. That happened in 1971 by Richard Nixon. Also, during his presidency he got our hostages back from Iran, which Carter couldn't do & during his presidency inflation dropped & so did interest rates which in turn caused a good economy & he kept us safe with an iron fist ensuring no one crossed that line in the sand. So yeah, I remember, he was a very good president.
+Iamthedoctor10 Look no further, donald trump is GOP nominee
Wow you guys did a fantastic job. Hit it right on the dot, very accurate and performed beyond youtube parody expectations. Might I add, the paint work was incredible. Bravo. Like and subscribe well earned!
This is genius. It's actually one of the best parodies of the song I've seen
Loved this! So funny, and love the painting!
wow the Obama art you guys did was SPOT on, i didn't even see the Girl standing there, she blended in soooo well, Great Job on this guys, big THUMBS up here.
good vid, funny as hell, true too!
**THANX FOR SHARING TRUTHS LOL**
FritzCayoVids No, really, it isn't.
Jessica Anaya Ohh lol.
''Sometimes I think Peace Prize winners shouldn't have a kill list'' That is the line!!
This may best be the parody I've ever seen! I replayed twice and subscribed.
bwahaha that was funny!
although there are many politicians that follow the same mold, end up being someone different than the person campaigning.
This is beautiful, I was waiting for someone to do this. Hoping you two get the millions of views you deserve... bravo!
This is not really a parody. It is a serious takeoff, and well done.
So many people using this song for parody!
Awesome concept dudes
Some of us new who Obama was all along. Welcome to the club.
+serrocXIII I did, that's why I never voted for him. So I can like this video! :)
+Appz Like the bias you just showed in your ignorant assumption. Cuz a young black guy living in the ghetto could never have anything negative to say about Obama, right?
"Sometimes I think that piece prize winners shouldn't have a kill list..." - Best quote ever, in the history of mankind.
Great paint job - best painting of all the "Somebody That I used To Know" Parodies.
the makeup work in this is amazing!
3:09 I'm against blue-face.
lol
omg this dude is exactly look alike Jesus Christ from the fellini movie
I visit this video again every so often just to remember how genuinely sad it is that there aren't more parodies of this song! I long for the dropping of "The Sunak That I Used To Know".
LOL! This was flipping fantastic.
Vote Hillary for four more years of the same.
Same? More like worse.
At least its better than having Trump.
Actually it's not. That's an apolitical point.
It's either 4 years of the same, which was kinda good, or 4 years of swastikas and racists scrawling and jeers. All of which my friends have reported happening. :-( On the day of the Kristallnacht anniversary, some Jews had the glass on their business broken. People knew his platform was this; they voted for this in exchange to keep on working and not pay a couple more in taxes. :/
LiquidSmooth Hillary killed nobody
Vocals are pretty good, especially like the painting of obama lol was good.
Whhoooaaa WTF so nice ..wwooowww nice painting..Love the song
This video keeps me sane and alive.
Not even an attempt to follow cadence...
Well, I was quite interested when Obama won back in 2008 but I definitely didn't think that it would mean something very good for USA. Politicians here in the Czech republic have never changed their ways why woud you think it would be different in your country.
Lololol this is so funny ! 'Now you're just Obama that I used to know.' Looooool!!
That painting on point
I wonder if Trump will use Lysol in the oval office?
Guys we have a very weak and shitty government in the philippines too but you are always welcome to stay here when Trump becomes the president
Grand Odium well trump actually has done a phenomenal job as president for the last 4 years, and don’t blame him on anything with the corona virus cuz that’s just sad 😂
@@jdo02 Yeah man i doubt me from four years ago would have blamed trump for the corona virus.
Grand Odium but with all honesty, what are your thoughts of president trump these past 4 years? Surely it isn’t as bad as you expected right?
@@jdo02 Yeah I guess so. He acts like the typical baby boomer but nothing too reckless.
Then again i live in another country so I cant really say much about him
This was hilarious!
This is amazing!
You'll be begging for him back when Trump's in charge
nah
you are just crazy
Nope.
Nope
True
Ya'll Americans should be happy about healthcare because all people have access to it now. I am of Canada, and health care's pretty nifty.
That is where you're wrong. It is nothing like Canadas healthcare. It's only free for some people, not for all like in Canada. You need to do your research a little better.
I thought that it was kind of like taxes where those who can afford to pay more do while those who can't afford to pay more pay less depending on how much income they make. Either way, having healthcare is good for emergency situations. Also healthcare isn't entirely free, for some parts Canadians have to pay or be covered through insurance benefits offered through their workplaces.
Marlee-Ann Lyle Some people who don't have insurance, and need to get insurance that they can afford.... get denied, and others who can't pay for insurance at ALL get accepted. Obamacare was designed to fail, it's a false sense of security.
Nicely done
Thats was great!
Glad you finally realized what he is all about. Better late than never.
Every once in a while, I revisit this video. I never cease to be impressed that the voice performances of these two are actually better, IMHO, than those of the original GOTYE video, especially regarding the female vocalist in this video. Her voice is powerful yet clear, making for a performance piercing both in its delivery and message.
I have a feeling that long after Obama is out of office, this is the Video That We Will Still Know.
just listened to your song on avradio!!!!!!! love it!!!!!!!11
Dude, i really fall in love with your so sencual voice
hope & change. More like Hope to change but nothing did. Next up, "The Donald". Should be interesting.
He'd be much better, believe me
@@HockeyCrab still thinks trump is better?
A lot of things people complain about Obama, he can't even control.
*****
Yes, and when things start doing better (unemployment now at 5.7%) you just don't hear about them at all...
GrassValleyGreg That's a load of bullshit. Unemployment is only counted as people who are LOOKING for work. Most gave up and just went on welfare/food stamps. The unemployment is only counted by the people receiving assistance for it. Unemployment is closer to 20% if you look at the increased number of people on government assistance in some form is over 33%. This president is literally a walking piece of lying shit.
So 60+ straight months of private sector job growth is meaningless... Gotcha.
***** That's nice. Then don't become President if you don't have the nuts to get the job done. Kennedy was the last true human being to sit in the White House. He makes Obama look like a straight up pansy bitch.
runelord37 Kennedy had his limits as well. The president isn't an all powerful position no matter how much the media makes you think sk
this is a brilliant parody.....Art, art everywhere
That was amazing
Even though I understand Obama and appreciate him, I really loved this video, it was extremely well done. Behind every person is, somewhere inside, a good soul.
Blames president for living with his mother. LOL
This country has been getting terrorist threats for a very long time. If you recall 9/11 happened prior to Obama. So did people loosing their jobs.
***** That is just hilarious. Please don't comment on things you know nothing about. Please. Big companies lay off their employees. Liberals don't support big companies. We support those in need and help those who are unemployed. I'm sure you also complain about welfare. Shoosh. Also, if you actually gathered UNBIASED (not FOX news) information, you would realize that ObamaCare has had a positive impact, not a negative one. Please stop listening to everything you hear on major news outlets and understand things for yourself.
@@fj59 Obamacare has been more negative than positive. Like it or not, but those who pointed out the flaws with Obamacare actually had a point.
@@finchborat I'm actually glad that I still have the same account and can address that, lol. Between that comment and now, I radicalized and became a leftist. I definitely agree with you, Obamacare was incredibly weak and targeted the working class for funding. I understand that Obama was working with a double-Red Congress but the flaming piece of shit that finally got passed wasn't worth all the trouble. People still die preventable deaths because of lack of healthcare, people still ration insulin because of price jacking... I was a duped as a young person. I believed in Obama. But he just murdered people in the Middle East with drones and passed a soaking wet healthcare bill that cost some working class folks even more than they were already paying.
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂
like the painting!
Booo Obama! Boo two party system!! But YEAH for a country where we have the privilege to elect our own government representatives!
Too bad Mitt Romeny diden't win :(
Good job!
The painting of Obama was so good!
Nothing's changed #GOP2016
People were dumb to buy into all the Obama hype in 08 but McCain-Palin may have been one of the worst duos in election history and I'm a Republican saying that.
I'm impressed with the way they painted the background/Actors
*damn it I was expecting his last name*
Message from the rest of the (remaining) Free World: Get rid of Obama.
The greatest failure of our time,
Obozo spent on our dime,
Sold more guns then anyone I know,
Now that is the obozo that I used to know!
And many lost their doctors and plans because of him. Many had to start paying more with health insurance.
Very very funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
I just love this
Obama is cool
+Matthew Erard cool in hell dumb fuck
Who cares dumbass
TRUMP 2016!!!
Obama is a sheep
Cool to his cult following.
I regret ever supporting Obama
My husband and i so much enjoyed this, so much to say in a totally artistic way!!!!.....This film should recieve a award artistically. Thank you...we watched multiple times...waiting for your next short film.
Amazing!
Trump 2016!
When are people gonna realize that Obama is trying help. He is trying to fix something past presidents screwed up. Smh.
he could help by not making people pay a fine because they can't afford his little obama care. you don't beat a dead horse. he is just like the rest and it will always be that way when money is always on their minds. greed corrupts no matter your past.
i dont want his help. he is going to be known as the worst president in american history. he is an absolute incompetent moron. he is almost as stupid and incompetent as the people that voted for him and defend him.
So your telling me Obama is worse then Dixon, Jackson, and Bush. Bunch of bull. All I hear is hate. The man is trying to fix what was broken by many presidents before him. If people would get their head out of there ass. Last time I check I wasn't a moron. You are probably one of those people who is still trying to figure out what they want to do their lives.
TheSgt340 You're sitting here talking about how stupid he is on youtube comments.
He's running a 1st world country, fuck off.
Well I am highly educated, learn your facts. Like I said, just because I support him doesn't mean I am not educated ASS. You know what I am not going to insult you on "UA-cam". SO it was nice insulting you.
This is great.
this is awesome!
This was abysmal. Disgraceful to the original song honestly.
Word.
Really good.
How did i even get here
That male guy boi on the left looks very STRONG and POWERFUL💪🏋
lol this was great.
now your speeches never as high as unemployment lol i was drinking and i spit it out
Lol that was great. Keep it up
Still the best video on the internet.
How did I miss this parody from 9 years ago?
I am so glad it's come back. It was censored
spot on. No more words required. Nice one!
wow great parody
