Days after The New Yorker was ridiculed for its failed satirical attempt at Sen. Barack Obama, Web site JibJab.com made its own crack at political humor with a new animated video.

The presidential campaign spoof features the animated likenesses of Obama, Sen. John McCain, Sen. Hillary Clinton, President George W. Bush and others. The video is set to the tune of Bob Dylan's 1960s political anthem, "Times They Are A-Changin."

The cartoon debuted on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Tuesday night.

"Life's been a blur since 'This Land,'" says JibJab co-founder Evan Spiridellis. "Thanks to the support of our fans, we've built JibJab from just me and my brother into a 35-person company and our 2008 election video was our 12th video on 'The Tonight Show.' It's been a very busy four years."

JibJab became an Internet sensation following the debut of This Land, which poked fun at both Bush and Sen. John Kerry as they ran for the highest office in the country in 2004.
