Obama, Romney make cameos in CMT Awards spoof (CBS News) President Obama and Mitt Romney showed they're not afraid to poke a little fun at the political process Wednesday night, lending their participation to a political parody video that aired during the CMT Music Awards. The four-minute video, which pitted actress Kristen Bell and country music singer Toby Keith against each other in a faux competition to determine who would host the country music awards, featured a series of mock-political newscasts and attack ads questioning each candidate's credentials. About a minute and a half in, President Obama weighed in from what looks like the Oval office: "This is one of the toughest decisions I've had to make since I've been in office. But I think I've decided," he said, deadpan, circling both names on a fake memo from Vice President Joe Biden on the issue. I want them both. Romney, portrayed speaking backstage at the event, joked that the stress of the presidential race was "nothing" compared to the CMTs. I thought the presidential election was a tough race. But it's nothing compared to the politics at the CMT music awards," he said. I think I have a solution, though. I propose Toby and Kristen co-host the show. See? I just put two people back to work," he quipped. You're welcome America. The 2012 CMT Music Awards -- with both Bell and Keith hosting -- were broadcast live Wednesday night on CMT.
