Hugh Atkin, the YouTuber behind "Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up," brings us "U Didn't Build That," a mash-up video that remixes Obama soundbites with MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This."

"Financial straights remain dire. We've got to remember, I did not star the fire. It was Notorious GOP," Obama raps in the video.

Renaissance man Atkin is both an Australian lawyer and viral video-maker (which explains why Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard appears briefly). He is also responsible for 2008's "Barack Roll."
