Sing for Change Obama

One year ago well-meaning but tragically misguided Hillary Clinton supporters produced "Hillary4U&Me," an earnest music video that nonetheless became the laughingstock of the Internet.  This week, the Obama supporters produced their own entry: the all-child "Sing for Change Obama."

Do you know that music teacher you had in the second grade?  Obama has that vote locked up.  But me, I see this and I am reminded of one of the least appealing parts of Obama's campaign: through no fault (?) of his own, he has attracted fanatically devoted supporters who believe that he will enoble the entire human condition.  He is a politician, folks, not the chosen one; keep your 11-year-olds out of this.

NPR did a whole thing on youtube music videos for the several candidates. Obama and McCain have several, even Palin. Apparently no one is moved all that much either way on Biden.

It is easy to buy small plaster models of what you think life is like.
