Don't we oppose Obama using and manipulating the children?

Usually, I don't like "using' children, either.

However, it IS these children that will be saddled with the massive debt that the dims are amassing! I say the children are the ones who should be yelling about it!

I'm with you here but I gotta admit that when the little girl says "debt stinks" at the end I laughed out loud. Cute kid.

They're too young to understand it all, IMO.

I think it does no harm to the kids. Some of them will have an inkling, at least, as their families have been discussing it. Others will just think they're having a bit of fun and being filmed doing it. I'm sure parents had to give permission for their kids to be filmed.

I think it makes a very powerful wake-up call to the so-called adults who are causing all of these massive debts.

Blam,

I kinda get were you're coming from. Do these kids really understand what debt is?

However, I found it entertaining, nonetheless. Mostly because it's true

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is a difference between using a small group of **paid** children actors whose parents have willing agreed to the project and commandeering entire government schools where attendance is compulsory by law and whose funding is compulsory as well. Compulsory means that there are real bullets in those police guns on the hip.

Thoughtful people understand the difference.

"I don't like using children."

I don't like using children for propaganda either. But these children have had their future stolen from them. They have basically been made indentured slaves by the democrats and the obama administration.

They of all people have the right to speak up!

Lets face it. Adults do manipulate children. All teaching requires some manipulation, at least at until the kids can apply their taught knowledge, which is called “thinking for themselves.”

I have no problem teaching kids the truth. I have huge problems with people teaching my kids lies.

This ad is fine by me.

While that's true, I think the point of using children in the ad is that it is future generations that will be burdened with this debt.
