The right-wing media has found something new to dwell on...a video of second graders singing a song honoring Obama. The song was performed for Black History Month last winter but was just recently dug up online. Fox news reported on the video on September 24th and said it was "overflow(ing) with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama." After that report the right wingers began calling the video reminiscent of Hitler and a leftist plant. My question is, was it really necessary to bring this "news story" to the attention of the whole nation? The lyrics are inspirational from the point of view that Obama is our FIRST black president but other than that, it is no more patriotic than other songs about presidents. There are more pressing issues going on around that world than children singing an empowering song about equality.
I think that it is funny that with the Bust administration citizens were forced to be patriotic with the "patriot act" but during this administration, as soon as people start to be proud to be an American again they get destroyed.
