Welcome to the Obama youth

Post by CUDA »

I found this link on the EVIL Fox news empire. :twisted:

I find it intersesting that it was not reported on any of the other news agencies. same with the ACORN video scandal. not reported by anyone else until it became a big thing on twitter, then CNN started to run with the story.



http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09 ... ent-obama/
Nearly 20 young children are captured in an online video as they sing songs that overflow with campaign slogans and praise for \"Barack Hussein Obama,\" as they repeatedly chant the president's name and celebrate his accomplishments.
MY question is WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS????

He hasn't succeded in ANYTHING,

The economy still sucks. and has gotten even worse since he took office
Unemployment is the worse its been since the great depression (depends on who's stats you read)
We're still in Iraq and Afghanistan
Gitmo is still open
Healthcare hasnt been fixed
The debt has increased more in his first 6 months than in all of our nations history combined.


IMHO having elementary school children sing Praises to this nations leader smaks a little of.

Cuda, I agree with you that this is wrong.

On the other hand, come on. The analogy to Nazi Youth is overstatement at best. This is a case of a teacher stepping well beyond boundaries; unfortunately it's common, but it's not a widespread gov't-driven organization.

As I stated in the other thread, bad thing.

Hitler's Youth analogy? A stretch AT BEST. I similarly find unlikely Obama had anything to do with that teacher's personal decsion. (As far as making her do it, of course if he didn't exist, the song wouldn't make sense).
Amg! It's on every post and it WON'T GO AWAY!!

The media isn't above this kind of alarmism.
