......At a public elementary school in New Jersey children were taught through song, one mimicking "Jesus loves the little children" and the other "The Battle Hymn of the republic, (mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord)", praising President Obama. Liberals find it offensive when a prayer is uttered, a Christmas carol sung and the Easter story is taught, find this display of teaching children to praise President Obama acceptable. This did make the news but was lightly treated as a non story. After all they were just children no harm done. I was horrified at watching this spectacle. Especially taking songs that celebrate our Christian heritage in America to sing praises to a person instead of God almighty. Has America come this far that we teach our children to worship another person instead of the creator? I am sure Liberals will somehow denigrate this issue as insignificant and unimportant. I am enclosing the words to the songs in question that were taught to young (6-8 yr olds) school children so you can make up your own mind. ......Song #1... Mm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand To make this country strong again Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today Equal work means equal pay Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand To make sure everyone gets a chance Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white All are equal in his sight Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama
Yes! Mmm, mmm, mm Barack Hussein Obama
Song 2: Sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" Hello, Mr. President we honor you today! For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"
Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one! The first black American to lead this great nation!
Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans To make this country's economy number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you! And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!
So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----
Hip, hip hooray! Hip, hip hooray! Hip, hip hooray!
.....Its time that prayer is put back in Schools. Its time we celebrate what has made America great not any one person but it was our Creator. Our Judeo-Christian heritage needs to be taught and celebrated in schools not a person.......God bless America again....

Other than Earthy and a few Canadians I don't find that many in here that think he is such a God.

This is just my own humble opinion. The teachers, or whoever, came up with this should be soundly reprimanded or stronger as it has no place in school. But I disagree that our Judeo-Christian heritage needs to be taught and celebrated in school. The USA is a land of many cultures, religions, creeds, etc. Should we not teach those also, if there is a return to prayer and Judeo-Christian heritage lessons in public schools. Should not each parent educate their own child in the belief structure that suits their family? Why should the school teach this?
There are several informative sites on the above mentioned music (not the lyrics). The lyrics to both are not the original, but were new words to old tunes used to reflect the times.

The entire idea repulses me. Where were the parents when their children were being taught this song? As a mom, I remember my children practicing at home the songs they learned in school. There are too many words for a child to learn in one or two lessons. Why didn't their parents raise an unholy stink? Richard, our country is in sad shape, I keep looking to the future and the only glimmer of hope I see is that 2012 isn't that far off.....if we can just stay away from total moral and financial bankruptcy until then.

flirty....Our Judeo-Christian heritage is America's history. It is how this Country was founded. Its in our historical documents and writings. Sure we have many cultures but the one culture that began this American experience was judeo-Christian and I am not concerned wether anyone else is offended by it. We are America we are not Canada, Europe, Australia or the far east. We were not ruled by a Monarchy or Founded by the upper class we were founded by patriots who strongly believed in the Almighty as to include him in all that we are and do......Thanks for your comment and glad that you agree in part with me,

You poor Americans, victims of this big fraud perpetrated on your country.......a president who is not even born in the country, is a Muslim, one time he did not assume the traditional pose while the anthem played, was photographed not wearing an American flag lapel pin,can't find his long-form original birth certificate, doesn't feed his children Happy Meals, swore on the Kuran instead of the Bible, uses his own icon on his jet, sometimes shows deference to other world leaders, inspires teachers to teach their students songs in his praise, wants all citizens to have access to good medical care, wants the US car manufacturers to use leading technology......etc.
Obviously a Socialist/Natzi Dictator.......People of America......it is high time you faced the truth about your President and carry out your constitutional right to bear arms.....and storm the White House and oust that uppity half-white Kenyan Dictator who is trying to trick Real Americans into believing in Evolution........Bring it on!!!!!

"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!"
It's called patriotism when the school children sang Bush's praises back in 2006, but it's called indoctrination when the children sang Obama's praises seven months ago. What is wrong with the children being taught to show respect towards the President of the USA?
Fox news is now exploiting children in hopes of bringing Obama down. It's looking quite pathetic.

I heard on the news that the lyrics of the song were sent home in advance and that there was no concern before or after the school program. The only concern arises seven months later when someone decides to try to make something out of nothing.

Starphysh - Your comments are all correct....I agree wholeheartedly with what you had to say, even though tongue in cheek. President Obama is not American and isn't defending the constiution in so many ways. It is absolutely absurd that we sing these new songs in schools praising him. That is way beyond showing respect. In the school in which I worked, we couldn't have a Christmas tree, it was a "giving tree." Even though we learned about and celebrated every religion, including Kwanza, Jews, Christians, etc., nothing was allowed that said Christmas. Race has nothing to do with it. He is not a good President and is not good for our country. He is a narcissist... I can't imagine you Canadians having so much input to our countries problems. I experienced your medical care, and I sure do not want anything like it here. I am new on here and read most blogs. What with all the "fighting" going on, it seems like people would have better ways to spend their time.

is religion the root of all evil ?? - believe what version of the 'goodbook' you like but dont ram it down others throats
all religions believe in a profit and it seems the more gross the profit the more gross the religion and not one shred of evidence that an afterlife exists
yeah yeah when the mad mullahs take over in just a few years i will be first on the chopping block ~

Hobson....What a nice little ditty you came up with. It also included Congress and Federal Emergency Managementworkers who helped the great city of New Orleans recover after a devastating Hurricane. It does sadden me to notice that you can compare that with the songs that I posted. Oh well typical Liberal tactic, when in doubt/denial blame President Bush......Thanks for your comment

Hi Blackpool.....Sorry if I "rammed" anything down your throat it was not my intention. It may have upset you but when my mum "rammed" castor oil down my throat as a child I was upset too, but it was good for me.....Have a nice day my friend. Will CJC and I see you in Dublin next year? We sure plan on being there if God is willing.

Frankly, I find this disrespect for the Commander-In-Chief and Head Of State of The Greatest Nation On Earth despicable. If you don't respect the man, you should respect the office and the position.
Reminds me of an item I saw in Readers Digest decades ago. A Southern EM encountered his first Marine Negro officer on the street. The EM didn't salute. The officer stopped him, took off his hat, and said 'At least salute the rank'.

no 60 my friend I make gags about all religions and frequently question there 'worth' ~ the bottom line is if it works for you then why not just respect another point of view
i firmly believe that any religion that cant take a ribbing isnt worth its salt ~ front of the queue is the mad mullahs of course , i love chatting to the mad mullahs about how lovely my new doggy pal poppy is
one Herbert from Pakistan is looking at my sweety shop this week , ( their the only ones with any money ) he didnt know what to say about poppy and i kept a straight face as i extolled several times how lovey she is lol

One other thing, the tribute to Obama was just a short blip in a school program that featured other Presidents. Go figure they only picked up on Obama...
So what is the difference between Obama and the other Presidents?

It's kinda a sick moment in American history-so many of us voted for Obama,said,"He's the wave of the future-what the people want!" So we voted.And this is what we've got....a guy who hasnt got a clue,apparently.
We HAD Bush,and we didnt eject him.Now we have Obama,but many of us didnt elect him.(Be glad at least,if you voted at all.At least we have pride-that we did vote,regardless of the oputcome.

Hi 60minutes My friend you sure know how to get these people all up tight...so the question is how much yeah getting paid to do this?  BUT BUT BUT you know that I agree with you on this one...well ok most of these thoughts. I hope we can keep the man out of our schools...just a little bit too much interference for me. I agree that those teachers where wrong to take very symbolic songs and put different words to them.....they should be FIRED. No matter what is said...I make things correct with my granddaughters just so they know the difference between wrong and right. See you and the beautiful MRS next month.
I'm looking to the future and it's out of sight, only in the end shall I take flight.

It is so predictable how some people can turn a blind eye and permit/approve the action of one of their own kind. Let someone of the opposite political view do the same thing and you will hear the shouts of derision. Don't tell me there isn't a double standard.
