"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 clear 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"
What a cute little song to honor our Beloved Leader.
Your kids school might be next, maybe not.

Re: wonderful video
surely this will replace the lost "Pledge of Allegiance" that some of us said daily at school.
I'll alert the Ministry of Spin and let the more level minds handle it.

You'd think the White House would have come up with a better tune before distributing it to the forced reeducation camps. Rahm Emanuel, I'm looking at you!

Re: wonderful video
1. They're children who can't vote.
2. How many school songs that you learned at the age can you still remember?
3. Non-issue.
4. Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?

He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.

Re: wonderful video
I just want the schools in Texas to stop having a pledge of allegiance to the State of Texas.
For one, it conflicts with the Pledge of Allegiance to the US. Second, I am a resident of texas, not a citizen. Texas isn't a sovereign nation.
So why the upset about the song?

Not quite. Technically, you are a citizen of both according to the 14th amendment.
State citizenship usually refers to citizenship of one of the states of the United States of America. Citizenship was initially defined by Article 4 of the United States Constitution, and later clarified by the 14th Amendment, which states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Re: wonderful video
It's absolutely hilarious that this is the LEAD story on FoxNews.com. Perhaps I shouldn't say "story"--there's no actual 'story' there, just the video, the lyrics, and one or two opinion pieces.

Re: wonderful video
Like small children, the leader of America should neither be seen nor heard, apparently. A behind the scenes technocrat. A "necessary evil" that should be grudgingly allowed but never praised.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

They tried to contact to you to find out what should be the lead story but they got voicemail.
Perhaps you should leave the a second contact number.

For what it is worth, on their web site it is currently third.
I think what they do is as they add stories, previously added stories get bumped down.
Please remember that internet media and print media are different.
With internet media, some people check several times a day, and you want that, so you don't have a "lead" story - you change the top story as stories are added making the site more useful to people who visit multiple times a day.

Re: wonderful video
That something like this was ever the lead story for a major 'news' organization is absurd. That point stands.

For what it's worth - I've had fox on all day (background noise) and heard nothing reported on it.
Mostly they've been talking about the Israeli speech today, the terrorist arrest, and the a few other bits (like the kidnapped girl who re-surfaced).
Right now they are reporting news. The part that is to a larger extent fair and balanced.
I expect not much on this will be reported until Beck and Hannity are on.

This is much worse than, unprovoked, invading and occupying a sovereign nation™.
They must put a stop to this singing.

Where does it stop, res? Should they be forbidden to hang Obama's portrait in the classroom? Should all mention of the current democratically elected POTUS be banned?
Does anyone who is all up in arms about this even have children in this particular school?

Do you think the kids were more or less of a "captive audience" then the high school kids who had the option of praying with their coach before a football game?

I don't really care for it. Then again, most of the folks who watch FauxNews and would raise a huge stink over this are often the same ones who want these same children singing similar songs about Jeebus in public schools.
I'd like to see the Pledge of Allegiance go away entirely. It seems awfully authoritarian for what is supposed to be a democratic republic. The very idea of an oath of allegiance seems so 1984ish.
Oh, and what ever happened to questioning the President in a time of war being unpatriotic?
It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world.

Re: wonderful video
Is it possible to rationally not believe in the Office of the President, or to not believe the President is the head of state ?
