I think if anything it was probably a teacher who wasn't thinking or who probably didn't think there would be such attention brought about because of this. It just makes me mad, because like you said, you associate it with the president, but yet the spin that is being put on it is trying to make him look bad. I agree that politics should be left out of school, but I was more of less just commenting on how the media spin being put on this is trying to make Obama look bad. And the lyrics aren't really that bad.
Mmm, 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 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

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!

Hooray Mr. President! You're number one!

Hooray, Mr. President something-something-some
A-something-something-something-some economy is number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And the same for all Americans [in?] the great Red White and Blue!
So something Mr. President we all just something-some,
So here's a hearty hip-hooray a-something-something-some!
Hip, hip hooray! (3x)
What ticks me off is that these aren't Barak's ideas - kids are learning that he is savior-like when these equal work/equal pay ideas and such were hard fought by other people who now forfeight their credit to Obama....
He is a President, not a savior, not a king. A normal human being who has been elected President. A new person could be elected in three years. Will there be a song for them? There has been a whole group of GREAT presidents before Obama. Noone has ever made songs for them. Let him earn his stripes before he is exhalted. He has only been in office for nine monthes, and frankly, imo, has not proven that he has earned his stripes. A huge deficit, nor cozying up to dictators is not earning stripes. JMO
People have a RIGHT in this country to disagree with government. Noone seemed to mind when people disagreed with Bush, people took great pleasure in bashing him with ease. But when some people disagree with Obama they are racist, wackos, militants etc? I don't think so...
No subtle brainwashing or propaganda here...
The NEA, altered lesson plans , songs....
The lady who made this video is a former classmate of Obama.

Propaganda starts out as subtle bits here and there and then advances.
People just need to stay on top of things like this and not get sidetracked by others who use the Saul Alinsky method of mocking and distracting from the subject....like, stop watching a certain channel......um, the channel did not make the video....hello.
