Obama can be seen backstage with his face screwed up, bobbing his head to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” the ultimate get-amped song, with lyrics like these:

No more games, I’m a change what you call rageTear this muthaf—kin’ roof off like two dogs cagedI was playin’ in the beginnin’, the mood all changedI been chewed up and spit out and booed off stageBut I kept rhymin’ and stepwritin’ the next cipherBest believe somebody’s payin’ the pied piper

You better lose yourself in the music, the momentYou own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

See, now we’re ready to go conquer the world. Get it in, POTUS!

Obama proceeded to walk out on the stage and give the most electrifying and effective political endorsement of all time for Hillary Rodham Clinton, bringing the house down and people to their feet at the same time.
