It is not often that a site like Yes, But, However! can out-scoop the Drudge Report as happened yesterday when the esteemed Mr. Drudge finally linked to the following video:
The video was shot at an elementary school in Burlington, NJ earlier this year. We posted the video on September 3rd and were quite appalled by it. Simply, can you name another American leader school children were taught to praise? Do you think a video like this brings conservatives and liberals together or just creeps the pants out of much of America?
Obama himself needs to put a stop to this kind of thing. The President needs to show that he is just a man elected to serve the people of the United States of America and indoctrination of school children, like in the above video, is flatly unacceptable to him. He is not a demi-god for school children to worship. He is just a man who had a bad childhood and then turned it around and knocked out of the park in a spectacular fashion.
Until the President addresses the cult like aspects of his ascendancy, expect more and more Americans to be turned off by Mr. Obama’s rhetoric and “change.”
During the election Barack Obama himself said that a “light will shine down” and implore you to vote for him:
Liberals would of tilted with anger if a Republican said or did anything like that, and they’d be right!
I do believe that the President thinks that all he needs to do to push his agenda is go on TV enough times to win over skeptical Americans. If so, that is the height of cynicism on the administration’s part and marks a terrible new standard of the awareness of the American public. We are truly in trouble if Letterman and Leno become a must do for presidents. Why not hit Rachel Ray and TMZ next?
P.S. In retrospect the McCain ad above probably helped Obama during the campaign. I’ll save that discussion for another time.
