A video parody of Mitt Romney, set to the beat of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady," is going viral.
The
video, which splices together bits of Romney's interviews, speeches and
debate performances, mocks the candidate's reputation for changing his
stance on some issues.
Viral video impresario Hugh Atkin was
behind the parody, which was uploaded to YouTube on Monday night and had
over 12,000 views by early Tuesday.
The video opens with footage of President Obama cut to have Obama
asking: "Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?" From there, footage
of Romney takes over. In precise beat with Eminem's song, Romney
statements are edited into a rap about his stance on abortion, the
economy and even about the time he tied his dog's carrier the roof of
his car.
"Uh ... with regards to abortion ... uh ... You can
choose your own adventure. It's a Republican dementia," he says. "And
I'm more concerned about the banks: They're unable to lend. Corporations
are people, my friend. My dog is on the roof. My dog is on the roof.
Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?"
