One commentator described the video as what Obama's speech—"in all likelihood the most pimp moment of his first two-and-a-half years in the White House"—"would have looked and sounded like had the man gone swag with it," characterizing Crosson's performance as a "rhymed flow over a booming, Lex Luger-esque beat.

"[6] Crosson ended his speech with "Oh that'll be two terms please, thank you",[9] referring to Obama's possible 2012 re-election in view of his increased popularity following the success of the bin Laden mission.

[1] San Francisco Chronicle contributor Zennie Abraham quoted Johnson and added that the video "exactly expresses what you and I both know Barack wanted to say after the Navy Seal Team 6 got to their objective".

[14] Al Jazeera's "Listening Post" remarked that Crosson's satirical interpretation "cuts through the usual diplomatic platitudes and delivers – what seems to be – a more honest and rhythmically tuned account of what happened.

[10] On the second day after the video's posting on YouTube, The Huffington Post said that the video was "fast becoming a viral hit", and that Crosson "doesn't stop at getting the look and sound of the president down, he has created an impression that is almost a parallel worlds version of the man; one who raps or sings his way through every major event while maintaining his signature calm collectedness.
