Texas High School Band depicts Obama, Romney and Big Bird---racists in uproar (Obama support)

A High School band in Texas--right up the road from the ones that display Bible verses--shows their support for Obama during a halftime performance and....oooh howdy...shit hitting the fan,lol.

Starts around the 7 min mark.
