I think this is extraordinary and frightening, so I'm bringing it back up to the top.
Let me be clear, there is not really anything I find objectionable in the words. The problem here is the exaltation of Obama to an almost god-like quality; a mere mortal about whom we chant and sing.
In the history of America, we have not every had children singing songs about any of our leaders, be they Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Martin Luther King.
Why are these children being encouraged to sing/rap about "Barack Hussein Obama"?
