 Fox News Drags Kids Into Faux Obama Conspiracy TheoriesPosted on Sep 30, 2009
The folks at Fox News are outraged after seeing a clip of some New Jersey school kids singing President Obama’s praises and have handily spun the story into yet another sign of the Obama administration’s relentless indoctrination of unsuspecting Americans everywhere. Problem is, there’s similar footage to be found of schoolchildren doing the same for George W. Bush. —KA MSNBC’s “Countdown”: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Advertisement Elsewhere: . CommentsAre you a Truthdig member yet?

It is sickening how Fox News seeks to constantly subvert the President
(after playing pawn for years for the Bush administration)

TGC and his friends never seem to tire of their trite and over the top hyperbole in attempting to compare apples with sea bass. Everything said about Bush, Cheney and the rest of his criminally insane gang is always false, unfounded, hateful, and nothing but a pack of lies. However, anything said about Obama is always factual and deserving.
Obama is not all that much different than Bush and is hanging on and exercising every bit of the unitary Presidency that Bush stole for the Whitehouse. That is as predictable as the sun rising in the East. That’s what all replacement authorities do be they Presidents or Dictators. It seems really stupid and ineffective that the attacks that could be made on Obama that would be true are not made but stupid infantile lies are.
The whole kids singing issue is just more ado about nothing but is effective in that it distracts from what is and that is Obama’s failure to really lead on the health care reform issue by pushing for what he admits is the only solution, single payer. He has also talked himself into another Vietnam by esculating the Afghan War. His complete sellout to the financial industry and the continued rise in unemployment along with continued home foreclosures means that so far, other than a lot of words about change, Obama has really accomplished nothing at this point. i’m sure that Iran is really scared of a man who can’t get anything done even tho his party has a super majority. What a laugh that has been.

Obama couldn’t buy the kind of support that Fox News
Report thisgenerates for him. Republicans are fighting like hell
to keep that 20% of the country they have.

Oh no! That’s the best Olberfrau’s lapdog could come up with? No wonder his ratings are in the tank. The song the children sang for Bush was also about FEMA, Congress and everyone who sent aid after hurricane Katrina. Here’s some of the lyrics:
“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!”

How horrible! They sang praise for “Our country”! Oh the humanity of it all. Further, you’ll note that they were from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Not one school.
Yes HW Bush mad a speech to schools, but what liberals fail to mention is that Rep. Dick Gephardt, his imaginary friends and others called it “indoctrination”. What they fail to mention, also, is that there were hearings on that speech. Anything about hearings investigating Chairman Obama? No? Imagine that.

The clip shown was from Feb 2009 and was preformed for a Black History Month event. It did not happen in the last few days as “FOE” news tries to report. Their manipulation of the truth into their view of misguided truth is astounding and disgusting at the same time.
I still cannot believe the people I come in contact with that take Beck, Limbaugh and O’Reilly as reporting the truth and nothing but the truth.

Re. the video at the school in Asheville, NC, the 1 minute clip was posted on youtube by someone with no connection to the school. One of his friends works in a video store and copied this clip without permission from a video that was brought into the store. The piece in question was part of a 30 minute school program for parents and teachers by the students showing what they had learned about American History last year. There were bits about many American heroes including Clara Barton, George Washington, and Amelia Earhart. Some parents are very upset that images of their children have been posted on the Internet without permission and have included the name of the school. It is frightening to think that the safety of our children can be compromised so quickly by people we don’t know. These incidents are at another level from the President’s school speech. The fear-mongers then neglected to mention that two Republican presidents had also given school speeches. This current use of the Internet shows no regard for these students or any interest in what they are actually learning.
