Children Sing Praise of Obama

PK — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:54:21 +0000

School children in a New Jersey school were taught to sing a song praising Barack Obama. One section of the song quotes part of the song “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” substituting Obama’s name for Jesus. Does anyone else find this creepy?
