Hugh Atkin, a blogger from Australia, recently released a parody music video featuring President Barack Obama and GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney. “Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up” is a mash-up, compiled from video clips, where Atkins puts the candidate’s voice over Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” beat for comical effect.

WATCH VIDEO OF ROMNEY ‘RAPPING’ ‘BELOW:

It begins with the president asking the “real Mitt Romney” to “please stand up.” Then Romney, through meticulous editing, raps “Y’all act like you haven’t seen a Mormon before / jaws down on the floor / I’m not concerned about the very poor.”

Using some of Romney’s greatest gaffes, the video has received more than 15,000 views on YouTube — with most viewers applauding the editing job.
