On the Issue of the New 'Obama Song'

"Where we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers." Barack Hussein Obama


Over the past few months, I have become less exasperated over the outrageous statements from the left. This does not mean that I am any less horrified, insulted, and even angered to a degree by these statements. I am. If I dove into everything with the passion that I feel, I likely would never sleep. That said, there are moments that require one to stop, breathe, and state their opinions.This is, for me, one of those times.


Though I keep myself informed, I am running this way and that so much during the school semester that I often miss very large happenings. It's easy to do, but it makes me wonder how long I've missed this. I tend to catch half of the Glenn Beck show on Fox News after I finish with classes and before I run off to work in the afternoons. In between bites of my pizza roll late lunch/early dinner, the story that he was covering both shocked and horrified me.


My father, jokingly, asked if it brought tears to my eyes because of the wonder of it, and I told him that it did, but only because I'm so frightened for the children. At B. Bernice Elementary school in Burlington, New Jersey, Barack Obama was quite litterally worshiped. The lyrics that were taught to these kids are as follows:


"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"


I'd like to break down this song if you'd give me a few moments.


“He said that all must lend a hand

To make this country strong again”


Obama has spent his first eight to nine months in office apologizing for our country. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty proud of the country that my grandfathers fought for. I’m proud of our soldiers who fight now. I’m proud of the strength that we have, that we have had, and that I believe the people of this country will always have. I saw America’s strength in my father’s father until the day he died, and continue to see it in my one remaining grandfather (both verterans of WWII). I saw it at the Hillsboro tea party when a woman stood up and told us about her son that died in Iraq. The pride that she had in her children was clear as she spoke of how her second son had just enlisted. I see the strength in town hall meetings for those that stand up (on either side) to defend what they believe in. Even the woman who sat next to me in my own city's town hall. I will never agree to the atrocities that I believe our government is attempting to commit, but she was there for her beliefs and showing her own American strength.


I suppose the president thinks America isn’t strong anymore because he looks at the spineless fakes that we have elected to office up in Washington DC.


“He said we must be fair today

Equal work means equal pay”


And it’s a stretch to call him a Socialist? Really? Obama has already admitted to believing in the ‘redistribution of wealth,’ which is Socialism. I have had long talks about this with various people that I've come into contact with. Is it ‘fair’ for someone to work hard for their degree, put money into their education, and then for the government to take their hard earned money and give it to someone who has not? Eventually what happens in a system like that is that people simply stop working. More people go onto the government dole than the system can handle and it will collapse.


“He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance”


I’m still trying to wrap my mind around why it is that America is such a horrible place and his majesty Obama has to fix it… Perhaps I’m not as awe struck with him, but I prefer results as to mindless agreement. We (Americans) have been taking a stand. We took that stand in 1775 at Lexington; in 1776 with our declaration to the world that we would not be held down; from 1861-1865 when we finally stood by our own notion that 'all men are created equal'; in 1941 when quite litterally helped to save the world; during the Civil Rights movements; and after the attack on our own soil in 2001. Has Obama and those that write these praises to him forgotten our history? I have not.


“He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight”


This is an attack on our faith. I am not swayed by what Obama has said, this country is based and founded on Judeo-Christian principals and God help me that I do not forget that and that you do not either. To forget one's own history is to open up to many dangers.
Do you remember, like I do, the song we sang in Sunday school so many years ago? “Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red, yellow, black, and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” This is an attack on Christianity. These people are putting Obama in the place of Jesus Christ. It may not be as blatant and straight forward as taking prayer out of our schools, but it is there in all of its horror. To take a song for Christ and turn it into praise of a man that holds himself up to be a god sickens me.


I always thought brainwashing was a strong term to use, but perhaps it is not. After all, when you want to rip apart a country’s core foundation and principals, best to start with small children, isn’t it?


Mr. Obama, I say to you that we are a Christian nation, even if there are many others among us. We were built on Christian principals, and our soul is a Christian soul. I say that I trust people like John Adams, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson wholly over you and your leftist agenda. I say that we are a strong, brave people and we are done apologizing and bowing our head to a false god. Much less telling the children of our country that they should.
