Obama ‘loves the little children’
A recent video was posted on YouTube showing students at Bernice Young Elementary, a public school in Burlington, N.J., singing songs overflowing with campaign slogans and praises for President Barack Obama. The students are shown repeatedly chanting the president’s name and celebrating his accomplishments including his “great plans” to “make this country’s economy No. 1 again.”
The most controversial of the songs include one that is allegedly to the tune of “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” The song replaces Jesus’ name with Obama’s. The song now says, “He said red, yellow, black or white . all are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama.”
Children at this school are being indoctrinated to view this president in a positive light. The very people who want to take God out of everything including the pledge, government buildings and public schools are teaching students a song meant to be about Jesus to honor our president. It’s a little creepy.
A few parents are reportedly horrified about this, according to FOX News. “I’m stunned,” one parent said. “I can’t believe it’s our school.”
The parent stated his 8-year-old son was one of the students in the video.
According to CBS News, parents who supported the use of the songs stated that many other songs were sung about other presidents, including Washington and Lincoln. There’s one big difference about these former heads of state, however. They served as president many years ago. The legacy they left behind has been engraved in history. Obama has been in office for only nine months and his history hasn’t even been written yet. Heck, we’re still writing the legacies of former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. It’s hard to argue Obama’s plans are great when he has yet to fully show them.
Do you think the teacher, or teachers leading these songs for the students thought for one second: “Gee, I’m not sure how happy I would be about my child singing songs about Bush. Maybe this isn’t a very good idea.”
This is what we’re going to be forced to endure for the next four years. Unless, however, people finally wake up and realize what’s up and stand up and fight. You can count on me to lead the pack. To quote Obama, “I’m fired up. I’m ready to go!”
