I also saw a bunch of children singing the praises of FEMA and George Bush down in New Orleans after Katrina.

Oddly enough though, I didn't hear shouts of "Indictrination" at that time either,

I guess it's only a bad thing when the President is.........er,......a Democrat, or maybe a black man.

just sayin

Wow, and they didn't even have to replace Jesus' name with "Richard Milhous Nixon" in that one. This may have changed my mind completely.

Peace

Obama is white too, remember.


sometimes i really i wonder why you guys are so in denial about the problems,

i bet you guys still watch the propaganda that comes out of your tele-visions.

Wow, good find.

I guess we were all wrong -- Nixon is going to become the nazi-hitler-socialist-fascist-coup-take-over-america-blahblahblah

We need to find his corpse, and cut the head off of it. Otherwise, who knows what zombie Nixon will be capable of with his army of loyalist children (who probably grew up to work for ACORN)

This was a high school glee club at the White House Rose Garden. Not in a school. Most notable however was the absence of communist phrases like

"Equal work means equal pay".

"all must lend a hand To make this country strong again"

This glee club also failed to invoke religious quality to President Nixon. (red, yellow, black, and white. All are equal in his sight) Content really is everything but I'm sure all of this was brought up earlier in other threads.

Congratulations, you have brought evidence that clearly suggests we are as bad now as we were then. Over four decades of cultural stagnation. Gee, I'm so glad we cleared that up.

Was that really necessary, or does this offer a constructive point?

Of course this is a bipartisan issue. Kids have been singing about presidents for a very long time. Until this year, it was thought of as the patriotic thing to do. Until this year, no one even cared. Until this year. What's different?

Where do you think they learned this song? And what does it matter where they sang it? Splitting hairs.

This is a reference to the Ledbetter Act, signed by Obama to make it possible for women to challenge their employer for the pay disparity between men and women.

Do you think women SHOULD get paid less for equal work?

There is no difference.

I would argue that because you may not have heard dissent or disdain expressed over such things in the past does not validate the assertion that no one cared before.

I say I "would" argue that point, except I sense your level of frustration over the current grumbling about it might just be exacerbated.

Perhaps this is a matter of perception. If you can accept that, well, you're ahead of the game.

Be well.

I only say this: CONTEXT

And this too: SECOND LINE

I think that the fact that these are young adults, that they are at the White House and neither the President's name is used nor any political policies named separates this contextually isolated video from the videos we've seen lately coming from some schools.

But, I guess an objective analysis isn't what we're really going for here, is it.

Am I missing something? That was Richard Nixon.... Tricky Dick... The man who singlehandedly destroyed the office of the President by being caught as an accessory to burglary.

Oh, I get it... Obama is as bad as Richard Nixon... AWESOME!

Also, the song was different... They just loved the president, and could have sung that song to any president as it did not identify the president by name. Kind of like Hail to the Chief.

I am not a crook!!!!

Edit to add:

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!

Lets all sing along.
