The internet is a sometimes awful, often enlightening, always interesting place. It has given us many gifts: Musical cats! Dogs eating people food! Jackie Guerra fan videos! And, now, the internet, in all its infinite wisdom, has deemed it fit to bestow upon a meme-starved populace a new gem — a video of Barack Obama singing (kind of) to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” Because, you know. Why not?

The video begins with the President addressing a crowd at a Human Rights Campaign event, sharing that he had recently taken a trip to California to hold some “productive, bilateral talks with your leader. Lady Gaga.” Ay.

The highlights, I think, are the dancing portions of the video. Also the pronunciation of “boudoir.”

So, thanks internet! I guess.

Have a look:

I give it a 75.
Catchy tune.
A little hard to boogaloo to.

Want to dedicate this song to my girlfriend, Angelica, from South Philly.

I’m already in the Import/Export business, but plan to scale back and concentrate on the import side.

However, my friend’s half-mother makes $112/hour on the Internet, working only 23 hours a day !

Yes, but is your friend’s half-mother the puma slipper woman?

I preferred his version of the Beatle’s Taxman.

wow how does this rate as news? Can we expect a video of the president taking a dump since the media is so enamored and in the tank for this guy i guess that is a rhetorical question since everything he does is so exciting to them

Good Grief, why don’t you dial it back a notch? This is a pretty creative bit of fun as far as I’m concerned and a lot more welcome than some of the other article listed daily.

I like the clever editing of this “Barack Obama singing Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ “ In fact I would give the president’s performing on this youtube video the highest praise. Its got a good beat and you can dance to it. American Bandstand.

I was WONDERING when he would COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. His boyfriend LARRY SINCLAIR misses him. Perhaps when Obama’s evolving view on SODOMIC MARRIAGE has finished er…”evolving”, he can finally find love. God knows he didn’t find it with the WOOKIE.

If it wasn’t for the fact that his face makes me VOMIT IN MY MOUTH a little, I might agree with you.

Dear Keith:
Does Obama’s face make you vomit because he is part black? You just happen to not like his facial features regardless of his ethnic background? Your opinion of his face reflects your strong disapproval of his policies? Or none of the above?
