As a Canadian, let me clue you in to what I believe is going on here:
Obumma: "Yo Harper, bro! Dis Obumma, whass goin ' down?"
Harper: "Hey mang, no' much, just chillin' witt my homies sippin' on gin' n juice! what up yo?"
Obumma: "Yo, doze Irainyunz dey cozzin' big #!@ down dere bro, pull yer shyt atta dere an' make'm tink we be cummin!"
Harper: "ya goona bomb dat shyt bro!!"
Obumma: "nah nah bruhder, we just gonna make'm tink we arez so dey git scaird an' den do wha' we say 'em too yeah? dats how we do' here down in da coolie yo!"
Harper: "LOL! I on da fone! laterz scrah!"
I could see some gang lingo going on between the two, but rastafarian?
