Sixty -- -- -- -- up a copy fighter ready for your Friday morning a political twist of the summer hit somebody that I used to know by.

-- TA has become Internet sensation check up.

You're concerns.

This change we can live.

My guess what the creators of that video were fans of the president.

In the last election co founders of adjusting production and readers of the video you just -- just in Monticello and Ryan -- broke.

Join us now good morning T guy thinks mean what that.

Good morning morning and for people at home who are very familiar with with got TA three million hits is what they have a -- -- guys have over 300000 there.

And what -- really highlighting is.

Almost a loss of hope and change that many we're feeling in 2000 -- eight did you guys vote for President Obama that and.

You know it's funny we actually.

We didn't vote in 2000 name.

We we -- supported Barack Obama but.

Through clerical error we were.

And school and Massachusetts -- you're out of state students.

As we were able to because of the clerical error -- -- perhaps right out but but but the bottom -- my.

As you -- supporters before.

And and now is that really aren't so what are you saying about people who supported the president back in 2008 and how -- feel that.

Well I mean you know as the as the makers of a parody video on YouTube it's a little tough to speak for everybody but I think.

I think you know it was it's it was an unnatural to kind of be very.

Attracted to the messes that he had especially because it was set at such an amazing time.

And I just think that you know there are some things that he hasn't delivered on that he promised to do and that's why some people are feeling dissolution.

Isn't so for the two of you what is changing graduated in 2009.

And at are at what are your Leary says.

But college and it had to pay my rent but the change -- -- was that had to move in with my mother you really highlighting what a lot of possibly young voters are feeling that they're going into this job market and they can't find any.

Think it.

Yeah yeah -- they mean the economy's been been tough obviously.

Graduating in 2009.

I think.

Think that sort of funny line you know first and foremost it's humorous but it's also.

You know has a string of truth to it that it was difficult to get the job and in the aftermath of the financial crisis and and -- greater political message and that is that maybe and think the stimulus.

Did as much as it could ever made -- -- -- in some sort of -- so.

And for the most part guys that I've read a lot of your lyrics and for the most part you're bashing the president you do make 11 reference you say.

Sometimes I think the peace prize winner should have a -- but you tap him at least start taking down Osama bin Laden at least on his watch what's it going to take for you to vote for a between twelve.

Well I think that's what we're really looking for is just one candidate to come out and support word just talk about these issues that we really care about that we think that.

I have not been addressed by really either major candidate.

You know both major political parties.

The you know Mitt Romney and and Barack Obama have taken pretty -- same position now.

Despite the fact that Barack Obama's that he wasn't going to.

So in order for us to vote for somebody I think they just we we want the focus of the political debate to be on these substantive issues that we really care about -- not -- political strategy and sound -- sentence.

You know these gotcha moments that.

Still heavily -- -- -- that -- use personnel from from that hope and change that you're open port.

Guys thank you so much just in a -- co founders of just new productions and I Anderson will be seeing more videos from you so we look forward that.

I think very very much have a great weekend.
