As Stephen Harper well knows, singing a little Beatles ditty is political gold. We have to admit we swooned a little when Harper sang “With a Little Help From My Friends” with a little help from Yo-Yo Ma. Well, it seems Harper’s musical magic has rubbed off on Barack Obama, who two nights ago got up onstage at the White House to sing “Hey Jude” with Paul McCartney, Jack White, Jerry Seinfeld and a dozen or so other rich, important people. (See the video after the jump.) We think Harper (who also played piano) outperformed Obama. Disagree? Let us know in the comments.

What you didn’t see, is that after I razzle dazzled the audience here, we hot boxed the shit out of that place.

The only thing about Harper that could make me swoon would be his immediate resignation. A psychotic and vicious individual. He needs help all right – to join the human race.
