WASHINGTON, D.C.– News has leaked that 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was in fact lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track during his second inauguration held earlier this month. A source in the White House staff reported that immediately after he left the platform, Obama could be heard “bragging to his bros,” Vice President Joseph Biden and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, at the urinal about pulling off the stunt.

The President has yet to speak publicly to the criticism raised against him; though it has been said that in private, Obama has made such comments as: “Ball so hard” and “That shit cray.” A representative from the Executive Office of the President held a conference for members of the press this morning; the designated speaker took the microphone with a casual air.

“Look, guys,” he slurred. “Let’s get real. Obama’s the fuckin’ man. You know it,” he said, pointing to an elderly woman in the audience, “I know it. You can’t stop the beat.” The representative then dropped the mic and dramatically left the stage.

Upon hearing the news Herbert Rodriguez, who attended the January 21st inauguration, posited, “I knew it! I could just hear the tinny, auto-tuney quality in his voice.” He shook his head in disgust, “I saw it in his eyes when he was gazing at Beyonce; like he knew he could do it better.”
