Oh boy. Another video of kids singing praises of the President.


Watch here:

And check out the words too!

We love you President, oh yes we do!
We love you President, and we'll be true.
When you're not near us, we're blue.
Oh President we love you!

2. link doesn't work
Edited on Sun Sep-27-09 08:02 PM by lapfog_1
but from the still shot, this looks like the young republicans glee club from 1973?

And if that is the "President" that they are singing to in the foreground, would that be Nixon? (but the hair doesn't look right).

5. Does it matter?
If you clicked on the video, you would see they are at the White House.

11. Yes.
You can do whatever you please in a private school, but public schools have to stay out of partisan politics.

General patriotic songs are good, but odes to individual politicians are not, even if the politician is a president that you like.

14. I remember a song during the "British Invasion" in the 60's
The first line of the first and last verse was "We love the Beatles...etc", then each verse in between substituted the first name of each Beatle in turn.

13. it is obvious this was doctored - they did not say 'Nixon' - this was for Jimmy Carter - a CGI Nixon

It's just like they did it with Forrest Gump - in fact if you look in the front row to the right, that's Ruth Buzzi. I'm sure of it.
