What I find flabbergasted is that they simply don't see why this is objectionable. |

The real world doesn't act like Limbaugh or Fox Network lackeys.  They also welcome veterans on Veterans Day, and any other celeberty visitors. The celebrate Washington and Lincoln, who were also politicians. Twenty years ago nobody would object. Now that we all have to "take sides" it's objectionalble.

If any schools would have done this when Bush was president, the Left would have had a frickin' cow. The media would have been all over it. |

I think that if, upon yours or my or George Bush's or even Norman Borlaug's visit to an elementary school, if the children were prepped to sign a song of our praise and wonderfulnesses, it'd be creepy. (For Borlaug, it'd have been justifiable, but still creepy.) It's creepier for Obama, who is already a cult figure. |

I am leaning VERY heavily away from public school as an option, but if we do go that route. I expect to teach my daughter and son to request to go to the principal's office & for their father to be notified if anything like this were asked of them. This is not civics, some day my little girl is probably going to have to pull a trigger on those zombies. Makes me think of something Oleg wrote:

Well I think it's overly dramatic to even worry, or certainly to compare it to Germany. (I kind of reserve comparisons to Germany for bigger things.) Kids are excited by any big shot, they don't know or care what party he belongs to. It's just a skit. Everyone is making it fun. The lyrics are a little over the top, but an elementary teacher probably made them up in few minutes. It's more wrong to teach them to be wary of the President of the United States. They'll grow up and decide for themselves. That so many people are concerned about a kid's skit shows how far our level of discourse has fallen. Of course when I was in school the President was a guy called Eisenhower; everyone liked him, even if they hadn't voted for him. Nobody would have compared him to Hitler. |

Yes, and the "Red and yellow black and white we're all _______ in his sight" is borrowed from a once popular Christian kiddie song. Sure, they changed "precious" to "equal" . . . but this song, had no business being sung in a public school. Quote: The lyrics are a little over the top, but an elementary teacher probably made them up in few minutes. Nope, actually the author was also the author of the children's book I am Barrack Obama . . . Charisse Carney-Nunes. I can't imagine that any of these children were presuaded to buy her book It was all really just harmless affection for a president who served his country's military just like Eisenhower . . . wait a minute Barrack and military service? It was all really just harmless affection for a president who served his country in pursuit of racial justice just like Eisenhower . . . wait a minute, Barrack hasn't actually done anything but harm regarding race relations. It was all really just harmless affection for a president who served . .. . oh, wait . . . I was in Chicago working in the communities when Barrack was allegedly "community organizing" yeah . . .. http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html?playerId=videolandingpage&streamingFormat=FLASH&referralObject=9985061&referralPlaylistId=c985e69916535a2170b2b18ab0ab7eb60401f9bb |

I should have posted this with original post. Sometimes I tend to get sidetracked at work. Quote: This was filmed at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ and uploaded on June 19, 2009. Lyrics ======== Song 1: Mm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama He said that all must lend a hand To make this country strong again Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama He said we must be fair today Equal work means equal pay Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama He said that we must take a stand To make sure everyone gets a chance Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama He said red, yellow, black or white All are equal in his sight Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama Yes! Mmm, mmm, mm Barack Hussein Obama Song 2: Hello, Mr. President we honor you today! For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!" Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one! The first black American to lead this great nation! Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans To make this country's economy number one again! Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you! And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue! So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick So here's a hearty hip-hooray ---- Hip, hip hooray! Hip, hip hooray! Hip, hip hooray! |

Hip, hip hooray! And therein lies the problem. This wasn't a song of welcome, those are POLITICAL lyrics. And the reason was a "tribute" to him as part of Black History Month. -Mark |
