I agree with the commenters who think it's a forced whatever-it-is.

Like Faldage says, as a pun, it doesn't have much of a leg to stand on unless Obama puts Orlando Bloom (or some other elf) on his staff (Bush did have a Brownie as FEMA director).

As a mondegreen, you sort of need to mis-hear most of the song, unlike, for example, Purple Haze (kiss the sky/kiss this guy) which isn't about the sky. It's not a requirement but it would help. Like:
Things just don't seem the same, acting funny, kiss this guy.
vs.
Never needed anyone, living alone, nobody's home, Obama's elf.
