It’s now a moving target....Youtube (or the original poster) made the viewing private but new copies are popping up everywhere. Too many people saw it and copied it so Youtube can’t hide it forever.
Keep checking the thread for a new link....
That kind of praise from children is reserved for God alone.
Obama joins the ranks of Kim Jung Il, Leonid Brezhnev, Adolf Hitler, Sadam Husain, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Castro, Chevez....
What great company he is in...
Please this man must be stopped. Also you all noticed they pulled the video off youtube.
I’ve never heard a flag-grade officer express desperation for a “civilian counterpart to our military forces.” I’ve heard many officers and NCO’s disparage the “civilian” or “non-military” portions of the government. Obama creates facts as he goes that make his arguments work – at Harvard, they give you a degree for such facile shaping of the “truth”. The rest of us who were raised better call such behavior what it is – a lie.
....
“OBAMA: Again, I think that inspiring young people to serve is something that the president is uniquely positioned to do.
“Now, it doesn’t always have to be service in uniform. One of the things, that if you talk to our generals, they are desperate for, is a civilian counterpart to our military forces.
“Our military is the best in the world, but they are asked to do so many different things because our civilian operations, our State Department, USAID have been underfunded, have atrophied.
“And for us to say, serve in the military, but if that’s not where you want to serve, learn a foreign language and go into the foreign service. And by the way, we will deploy you in some difficult areas, but that’s part of what it means to be an American and to serve and to sacrifice.
“We need agricultural specialists in places like Afghanistan. We need civil engineers that can do some of the work that currently our military officers are doing.
“And so, I think a president who is consistently asking for young people to reach for something higher, something bigger than themselves, I think, will get enormous response.”

My mom’s response - she lived through WWII:
Hitler went for young people, too. I remember from WW2, I saw numerous propaganda movies and short subjects in the theaters. There was no TV in those days, so the radio and theaters were the only venues for kids (who seldom read newspapers or magazines). He is a dangerous thug, and that is the only nice thing I can say about him. J. D. Hayworth has it right by calling him B. O., he stinks...
From the website:
Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, when 22 children, ages 5-12, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing.
Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a music teacher, Kathy Sawada, and the children composed and rehearsed the songs in less than two weeks. Several musicians heard of the effort and volunteered to accompany the children. Parents and older siblings designed and provided the T-Shirts and the banner. There’s a first for everything, but rarely do so many firsts come together at once: for the children and their parents, this is their first performance, first video, first banner, and first involvement with grassroots work on a presidential campaign.
As Sunday approached, a neighbor volunteered a home. Production wizards got wind of the project and offered their help in recording it.
What we accomplished in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon embodies the nature of the Obama campaign: its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building. People pitched in quickly for a cause that resonated with them. There were not many conditions: “Think this is a good idea? Want to help? Great. Sunday at 12:00.” At the heart of the project were 22 children and their music. The willingness of all involved to come together for them was a testament to our hope, unity, courage, joy and belief in the future represented by these children.
We are offering the video to everyone, the Obama campaign and all media with high hopes that we can all join together to Sing for Change.

SING FOR CHANGE

Now’s the moment, lift each voice to sing
Sing with all your heart!
For our children, for our families,
Nations all joined as one.
Sing for joy and sing abundant peace,
Courage, justice, hope!
Sing together, hold each precious hand,
Lifting each other up;
Sing for vision, sing for unity,
Lifting our hearts to Sing!
YES WE CAN
Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada
Yes we can
Lift each other up
In peace, in love, in hope
Change! Change!

Really, really sick.
Obama’s happy with these children when they sing his praises, but they are too young to know he would have no problem whatsoever watching each and every one of them be murdered by an abortionist - inside or outside the womb.
So much for their sick twisted leader of death.
