    Wednesday, we told you about the clever YouTube videos that seamlessly remixed presidential candidates' words set to music. One that featured Mitt Romney was called 'Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?' and recently a video of President Barack Obama appeared, set to MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' and titled "U Didn't Built That by MC Bama."

    Hugh Atkin, a lawyer, is the creator of these viral political-satire videos. In addition to his videos, Atkin maintains the blog "The Margins of Error" featuring various political clips of candidates making gaffes. Atkin sat down with Trending Now to tell us where his inspiration for the videos comes from and if there will be more of them in the future.
