Political Spoofs

President Obama on Death of Osama bin Laden (SPOOF)

          The video link posted above is one of many Political Spoof videos that have been made as a reaction to the 2012 Presidential election. These Spoofs, make fun of a certain candidate in one way or another to try and make the audience laugh while at the same sending out a specific message.
          The video posted above uses its medium (the internet) to piece together a visual and auditory composition in reference to Obama. This is very creatively done by using a man who is very similar to the current President in appearance, and having him speak in a manner similar to that of the President's. Once the video turns more into a rap, the tone is silly and fun, but underneath there is a message being delivered to the viewer. The message states one of Obama's biggest success as a President, killing Osama bin Laden, and procedes to try and make any questions regarding why it took the President so long to tell he public this news.
           While it is poking fun at Obama, the video is clearly inclined to the Democratic favor. This is a great example of how technology and politics meet to create something that is entertaining and at the same time delivering a political message to all the viewers.
