Yup, along the same lines.Bad call on the teachers part. How could this ever seem like a good idea? However, I remeber the non-christian kids beging made to sing Christmas songs. Is that in the same line? These kids probably won't remember this down the line.

Particularly in light of the Katrina disaster, it was rather tasteless and silly but it wasn't even about BUSH.Our country's stood beside us
People have sent us aid.
Katrina could not stop us,
our hopes will never fade.
Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us
and we join them hand-in-hand!
So yeah, personally? I would say maybe both were bad ideas, but for different reasons. The first is hardly about Bush, the second uses lyrics from songs about Jesus and puts Obama's name in place. Creepy.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

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!
Wait, personality cult? I don't think I'm even going to get into that one. It just isn't a fair argument considering the Bush years.Can't say I'm a fan of that first song, but it doesn't even approach the level of personality cult that Obama song does. Dammit, we don't put our Presidents on some kind of ethereal pedestal! They work for US, not the other way around. Haven't we learned from past examples of idolizing a person or a state as opposed to ideals? Nothing good ever comes from it.

That's not just agreement with policies, that's full-on slobbering. Again, if an individual person is elevated to such a lofty position, and seen as the end-all, be-all of America, then we're in deep trouble. The whole idea is to love and appreciate the ideals expressed by the Founding Fathers, not to worship the Fathers (or any subsequent President) themselves.The principal of a New Jersey elementary school where young students were videotaped singing the praises of President Obama is making no apologies for the videotape and says she would allow the performance again if she could, according to parents who spoke with her Thursday night.
King has long been a fan of Obama, hanging pictures of the president in her school's hallways and touting her trip to his inauguration in the school yearbook.
Included in the full-page yearbook spread were Obama campaign slogans ("Yes we can! Yes we did!") and photos King took in Washington on Jan. 20, when she attended the inauguration.
There also were photos taken at the school depicting students doing Obama-themed activities about their "hopes for the future," featuring posters of Obama. According to the yearbook, students watched the inauguration in class.
Parents said Elvira James, the teacher of the class that was videotaped, also seemed to be promoting Obama.
"She praised him, she put pictures on the walls," said Jim Pronchick, whose 8-year-old son, Jimmy, was in James' class last year. "When he won (the election) they really went off."
It's not that I feel the Democrats are worse than the Republicans or vice versa. This transcends parties to me; I mean, Clinton never got this sort of adoration, either.I find it funny that you agree with me but want to make one side somehow worse than the other. I don't have to re-read the lyrics. I said it was creepy. It's as creepy as It's Raining McCain or the whole goofy Obama Girl thing. It's as creepy as having an entire network to rally the cause of a politician or his/her policies.
We don't disagree here. It's disturbing. Sadly there will always be people who take it too far.
Wait. You didn't like my mural?murals to him (there's one on S. Cedar St. here in the Twin Cities. Just drove past it the other day, and was very creeped out by it), and more.
