JibJab Debuts Obama Musical Parody Video

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 22, 2009 - 12:29pm.
Washington - JibJab, the California-based creator of political parity cartoon videos, on Saturday premiered its first satire of the Obama administration at the 65th Annual Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner, with the President, himself, in attendance. The 2-minute musical video, entitled "He's Barack Obama," portrays Obama as a super hero battling challenges such as the economy, foreign policy and pirates -- all to a heavy metal rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." In a departure from its banjo-centric musicals of the Bush era, the company recruited musicians from bands such as the Foo Fighters and Jane's Addiction to take part in the project, which can be viewed at the link below.
