Why does this kind of thing keep cropping up?
I think the most disturbing part is this verse:
Barack Hussein Obama
He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
I’ve heard that song before, but it wasn’t about Obama. At the minimum, someone’s a plagiarist. Why does this man inspire such… worship?
I don’t remember this ever happening with an American President before. I did a little Googling. ”Kids Sing Clinton” turned up no songs. ”Kids Sing Bush” turned up only this, which hardly compares:
Our country’s stood beside us
People have sent us aid.
Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade.
Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!
Here, G.W. Bush shows up as one of a series of actors who will help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. (I disapprove of people depending on handouts from the federal government after a natural disaster, but that’s a discussion for another day.)
My Googling turned up a number of bulletin boards where this was under discussion, complete with conservatives comparing Obama to Hitler and liberals complaining that the conservatives were overreacting. It is a little unfair to compare Obama to Hitler (or Stalin, or Mao, or Kim Jong Il) in this regard; totalitarian regimes tend to openly require this sort of thing, whereas we have no evidence that anyone in the Administration is pushing this kind of Obama worship. Yet.
But it is disturbing that this kind of thing pops up every few months. What is it with you Obama people?
