Watch Obama Cover That One Direction Song [Video]

If, like me, you’re tired of played out parodies for every single occasion, perhaps the most recent dub of Barack Obama singing “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction will change your mind. YouTube user baracksdubs has provided a series of clips from Obama’s various speeches strung together in such a way as to create the lyrics to the song. With some liberal application of Auto-Tune, our Mr. President doesn’t sound half-bad. Of course, he doesn’t sound half-good either. It’s one of those cups-with-some-water-in-it-halfway kind of scenarios.
