Viral Eminem parody: ‘Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up’

An Australian man has created what may be the best video of the 2012 election season so far.

Hugh Atkin, an Australian lawyer who has been creating viral videos on YouTube since 2007, has produced a parody of rapper Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady.”

The video begins with a mashup of President Barack Obama asking, “Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?”

The parody goes on to piece together clips of the Republican presidential candidate speaking about his positions on the poor, abortion, contraception and immigration. It also mocks Romney’s religion, his singing and the story about him forcing a dog to ride on the roof of his station wagon.

Nice flow. It doesn't make Mitt look as bad as he is, but that would be too hard to do in 2:44 and still be entertaining.
