I was going to link to the "Sing for Change" video, but I guess it's been taken down because it creeped too many people out. If you didn't get a chance to see it, it was a bunch of kids from Venice CA singing the praises of The Lightworker under the direction of a grimacing Stepford-tranced music instructor, with approving adults beaming and others providing accompanying music. Plus it had some major Hollywood backing, which kind of makes the spontaneous grassroots support claim seem...ridiculous.
I wish the YouTube video hadn't been removed though, because there was a comment the teacher Kathy Sawada left there that just really exemplified the mutton-headed emotional mysticism that is the "liberal" Obama supporter--something along the lines of the children should be our leaders because they are innocent and don't know anything.
I also understand that the video also appeared at this link on Obama's website, which means someone there thought it would be a good idea.
Not to worry though. The concept has been done before, and you can get essentially the same experience by clicking here.
UPDATE: Cranky in "Comments tells me they've moved the video to here. And it has the Kathy Swabada quote I was looking for:
Good grief, she's serious.

You are exactly right that children don't know about political issues, and for me, that's the point, they are our teachers...
