Watch This Hilarious Bad Lip Reading of the First Presidential Debate

Missed the first U.S. presidential debate last week? YouTube's Bad Lip Reading channel has released video of the face-off between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But you might find it a bit different from the original. Read: Less debate and more drivel.

In classic Bad Lip Reading tradition, the two rivals speak complete gibberish to hilarious effect.

At one point, Obama says, "In horrible weather, I sneeze and I just lose the puppets ... I see a purple idiot who speaks German with a big, spunky Irish Labradoodle puppy.

But Romney dominates with most of the zingers, including, "I'm not a robot, okay. I wish. Then I could go higher, and you could rotate my arm, and send me whooshing into space."

Moderator Jim Lehrer, though, provides the biggest laughs -- repeatedly calling Obama "Ahmed," and at one point encouraging both candidates to provide backing vocal harmonies for a ridiculously nonsensical song (Go to 2:15 in the video above to check out the musical gem).
