No word on where or when this was shot but it was posted to YouTube just two days before The One’s speech to students, which makes me wonder if it was part of some school’s festivities for the screening. I think parents’ fears about their kids being politically indoctrinated are usually overblown, but I’m open to persuasion by compelling evidence — like, for example, this, or the vid you’re about to see. Getting little kids to croon about how awesome the president is troubles me less than the pop quiz the boss posted, mainly because they’re too young to understand and/or assimilate the agenda they’re singing about (and way too young to vote, natch). But Guy Benson got my atheist ire up when he noted that one of the lines about The One here, heard near the beginning from the kid who’s singing solo, is an adaptation from a hymn about how much Jesus loves the little children. Which makes this an extreme example of what the boss was so worried about vis-a-vis Obama’s speech: Not that he’d say something nutty or overtly political to kids but that some of his more devout cultists in the teaching ranks would take the speech as a license to push the political envelope in the classroom. And here we are.
No, one phrase from “Jesus Loves the Little Children” was used in an altered form.
The original is “Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight.”
They changed “precious” to “equal”.

(FYI: In this interview, she says she has accepted a job with the Obama administration’s Transportation Department.)
The Marxist con-man who must be revered by all the little children.
How sweet.
Liberals are going to hate what they end up with.
Which boss posted this/ Yours? Are you a school teacher?
It’s all over the internet.
Here’s just one of the many videos of the Song of Praise to Obama :

P.S. Christians should be (and are) annoyed at this. Language that Christians would reserve for addressing God is being used for the Obamessiah.
So how does it annoy an atheist?

Has there been any country in history - anytime or anywhere - where worshpful songs like to this to the nation’s current leader are a sign of a healthy democracy? Maybe there were congratulatory songs to Washington as the leader of the forces of the Revolution, but Obama ain’t no Washington.
The trend, if anything, would be to take a secular tune and use it for a newly written sacred (or more reverent) text. For example, “Jesus Loves the Little Children” used the tune of “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp” [the boys are marching], and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” used the tune of “John Brown’s Body”.
Bummer is the fairy tale president. He comes riding on unicorns.
"Hooray Mr. President, you are number one term President!”
"That would be telling."
OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1818)
I hope so.... I’ve been sick since I realized a majority of people in my beloved country was stupid enough to elect him.
Wait till he loses—I guarantee there will be riots. Hopefully, it won’t be like the 60s-there needs to be a major backlash when it happens this time.
I didn't and I don't like sleeping in the bed made by the empty heads who did.
I don't know how many folks know this, but there were people flying the Soviet flag in front of the White House the day Obama won his election.
I think this was on FNC for a moment.
Do I feel silly?
> Maybe there were congratulatory songs to Washington
There weren’t. Not then, not ever. He would have forbidden it.
One of the battle cries of the American War for Independence was, “No King but King Jesus!”
I’ll venture they didn’t teach you THAT in the multi-culti, commie indoctrination day camps.
