The Gregory Brothers - Debate Highlights Songified lyrics

Obama
Romney
Ready, set, go

As president, I will sit down on day one
Sit down with leaders for a couple hours
Talk about the issues, talk about challenges

Part of being a leader is not
Just saying "I'll sit down"
But you have to have a plan
What it is that you intend to do
You have to have a plan

Okay, moving on now
Will the economy get better soon?

(Uh, uh, uh)

Or will I have to buy my Microsoft Zune?

(Uh, uh, uh)

The reason we've been in such a crisis
(Such a crisis, such a crisis)
Reckless behavior
Banks making money hand over fist

You couldn't have people opening up banks
In their garage and making loans
You have to have regulation
It appears we got some agreement

(Oh shit)

I love Big Bird, I like PBS
I like you too
But I'm gonna stop the subsidy to PBS

I work to cut a trillion
Dollars out of our budget

Are you gonna tax rich people
The percentage that's equal?
Or will you give them piles of cash
So they can use hundred dollar
Bills to wipe their ass?

Under Romney's definition
Donald Trump is a small business
That kind of approach I believe
Will not grow our economy

It's not just Donald Trump you're taxing
It's all those small businesses
You raise taxes and you kill jobs

I lowered taxes 18 times

Time for some closing statements
If you got something to say
You better say it

Bring down rates, broaden the base
Simplify the code, incentives for growth

Are we gonna double down on the top down?
America does best when the
Middle class does best

Bring down rates, broaden the base

Are we gonna double down on the top down?

Simplify the code, incentives for growth

Are we gonna top down on the double
Double down on

The base
