It made me tear up.  My granddaughter *caught me* and wanted to know what was wrong.  I just told her I heard a very sad song that was unfortunately very true.  She wanted to hear it, and I played it for her, as well.  Thanks for posting this.  Pink is in good company.  There are more and more of us every day that he can't/won't walk with.

Anyone seen the kids singing the Obama song.  It's way way creepy.  They're all dressed in their little uniform and doing hand gestures and you can definitely tell the kids do not know what the lyrics mean.  It was on the Obama website but after so many negative comments they took it off.  One commenter on AOL wrote "it is eerie.  What on earth are children doing praying to a candidate?  I'm not sure what bothers me the most:  Is it their glassy-eyed stares?  Is it their Children of the Corn-fed good looks?  Their hyptonized vibrato-less tones?  Someone else wrote "This has more than a little whiff of Havana and Moscow about it".  And another commenter wrote "These kids are already being taught to worship Obama as if he were some kind of god.  That's what kids in North Korea, Cuba, Saddam Hussein's old Iraq, and other totalarian regimes were taught to do as well.  The purpose is if they grow up seeing their leaders as god-like they're less likely to rise up against them." (now that's one of the best observations I've read).

Anyway...here is the link and you can see for yourselves.  Don't watch it before bed unless you don't mind nightmares.

"I look forward to working together in the New Year," Saltsman wrote. "Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show."

The CD, called "We Hate the USA," lampoons liberals with such songs as "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish banner."

Several of the track titles, including "Barack the Magic Negro," are written in bold font.

The song, which debuted on Limbaugh's show in late March 2007, latches onto an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times of the same title. That column, penned by cultural critic David Ehrenstein, argued that Obama could serve as a balm to whites who felt guilty about past treatment of African Americans.

Limbaugh first highlighted the column the day it ran, according to a contemporary report by Media Matters, the liberal watchdog agency. Media Matters reported Limbaugh repeated the phrase more than two dozen times the day the column ran.

The following month, Shanklin debuted his version of the song, sung to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and performed in Shanklin's impression of AL Sharpton.

"See, real black men, like Snoop Dogg, or me, or Farrakhan, have talked the talk, and walked the walk, not come in late and won," one verse in the song says.

Saltsman said he meant nothing untoward by forwarding what amounts to a joke more at Ehrenstein's expense than at Obama's.

"Paul Shanklin is a long-time friend, and I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies," Saltsman said.

Republicans searching for ways to attack Obama have been hesitant to embrace any reference to his race. Limbaugh presciently predicted his allusion to the column nearly two years ago would win attention from left-leaning organizations that would suggest he was using Obama's race against him.

as far as foreign affairs go to restore credibility to the US...and that's what he's doing.  -- As opposed to the shrub method of trying to bully the world.  Get a grip and try to catch up with the rest of us.

We are all fooling ourselves if we thing otherwise.  It is literally picking the lesser of two evils.  The one thing that I can say is that at least McCain makes decisions.  He votes instead of just voting present like Obama and when Obama actually has voted yes or no.....he has consistently said one thing and voted the exact opposite.  I just do not think he has the experience or the ability to make executive decisions.  I do not trust his associations and I do not have the same values as he does. 

those who supported the opposition and who warned of the types of sweeping changes to come during his presidency were told not to jump to conclusions based on what he had said during the campaign, or with whom he had chosen to associate throughout his life but to ''give him a chance'' to show the American people what he would actually do.  We were told that racial prejudice and sour grapes were behind our feelings and that Obama would prove himself worthy of the office.  To me, in just four months he has proven the exact opposite and further demonstrated a lack of character. 

I did not necessarily want McCain in office.  I voted the ''NObama'' ticket because I felt McCain would be slightly less destructive to our country and because I was pretty sure he is not a marxist. Voting third party would have been a wasted vote.

Sure, had McCain been elected I would have told his opposition to give him a chance to prove his worth as well. (I believe McCain's character has already been proven; I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.)   But if he then demonstrated himself, through his words and actions, to be a screwup and/or a liar I would be posting exactly the same type of opinion.

I'm sure she would have run for it.  Well, she's ''moved on up to the big house'' now.  She is a co-sponsor of Card Check and a real party hack.  This is my representative.  Abandon all hope!
