The time we have awaited all election cycle long has arrived — the 2008 JibJab satire is here! As usual, the folks at JibJab take a decidedly non-partisan look at the election year follies as they utterly destroy Bob Dylan’s “The Times, They Are A-Changing”:

I found it a little heavy on John McCain, and a little soft on Obama. Their past JibJabs were more even in their treatments of the candidates.

I found it a little heavy on John McCain, and a little soft on Obama.

It's hilarious, but you're right.

Is this how the popular mind sees the election: McCain in a tank versus Obama with rainbows and unicorns?

[dawn53]

I thought just the opposite. The “wuss” approach to Obama, and the “change, change, change” refrain, plus him being in a fairy tale world and riding on a unicorn sort of made their point.

McCain they characterized pretty much as everybody expects, but where have we seen Obama characterized as a “wuss” (to use their words.)

[johnthebaptistmoore]

It looked very balanced to me.

[sarasota]

I think it’s pretty good satire on both.

[Roses0508]

I thought it was a good satire. I also think that for adults at anyrate, McCain came off better. I mean, do you REALLY want to elect a unicorn riding wuss for president? I think it plays to a lot of people’s fears about Obama.

I thought it was good, Hillary’s role was funny, I got a kick out of it.

Go directly to jibjab.com, there they let you put anyone in as the hapless voter at the end. I did it!

[TheBattman]

I thought it pretty good as well.

As usual Barack Obama can’t take a joke:

“These videos are a staple of every presidential cycle. They’re funny and edgy, just as they’re supposed to be,” said Paul Lindsay, McCain’s Ohio spokesman.

The Obama campaign declined to comment.

I thought I would split a gasket when I saw Obama next to—Bambi!!

Then he road my little pony unicorn and left a rainbow in the sky—an allusion to the pro-homosexual contingent?
