I'm a retired elementary music teacher in Arkansas (Yea, Huckabee!), and I am HORRIFIED @ this!!

The tune was "Battle Hymn of the Republic"

open your eyes american; they are brainwashing our kids and some one needs to stop them while we still can.

Well referencing Obama to Jesus is kind of half right...you'd all love to crucify him.

lol

This is the most craziest thing I have ever heard. I cannot believe that the teachers stoop so low as to having children being heard to praise O'bama. I am not a fan but I am not a hater. I believe in giving a person a chance, so far he hasn't made the change he always talked about. Yes its true our country was in a mess with Bush but now I believe we are up to our necks in crap. You take someone who has been in office no more than a couple of months and has already broke our country in more ways than one. He is still having our federal tax dollars going to places of business that is still playing the bankruptcy card. He has spent more of our tax dollars in several months than Bush spent in all of his terms serving our country. You hear so much about his nationality, still haven't seen proof on that yet either. It seems that if you have nothing to hide then come forward. Be a man and be honest with the American Citizens and do make a change for the best not the worst. I tell you what is sad, take a child who cannot afford or find the support to go to college because she has not got out and got pregnant or she is a single parent, It seems there are no standards set for the ones who go out and mess their lives up. What about the ones who really need and want to go because their parents can't afford it or they get some kind of accuse as to say "do you have any children" or "are you a single mother " or based on your color. There should be funding for children who need and want to achieve and build a better future for themselves. I am one of those parents, my daughter has tried many times to apply for student aid, she wants very much to become a doctor. She has been put off so many times and all she hears is "are you pregnant, do you have any children and etc. She has voiced to me many times, that if she ever gets in and becomes a doctor, that she is going to set a fund up for the many girls who have done the right thing, meaning drug free, pregnant free, single free. The girls who want something for themselves and not have to be discriminated against your morals that you set in life for yourself....

Ahhh Penny...the lost voice of the middle class that slip through the cracks on a daily basis. You either have to be super-poor or super-rich to get any breaks in this country. Personally, you should go for the super-rich category since organizations that help the super-poor are being attacked by hacks with video cameras disguised as pimps and whores. Just a suggestion.

The teacher and the kids must be right-wing fanatics: did you notice how they use Obama's middle name?

This is CREEPY~! And these poor parents think their kids are learning math and spelling!

Speaking if indoctrination, anybody remember this little treat:

Creepy as well. Stupid and creepy. To me, forcing children to sing praises to Obama as if he (Obama) were a reincarnation of Kim Jong-il creeps me out even more. But that is just me.

both are stupid. both are creepy.

Or did you mean to excuse this because some fools did something related? Like some sort of giant race to the bottom of the pit....

lipi is inventing straws to grab at again. #1 the only way you can defend this gross mental abuse of children by an Obamabot is to try to say Bush did it too. and #2 you totally lie = the correlation is not the same at all. Your dumba** link is to a story about a school being named after Bush, not kids being forced to "hero worship" him.
