School children in New Jersey have been taught to both chant and sing praises to President Obama, with YouTube video revealing them singing, "Mr. President, We Honor You Today" to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
The children also are seen being taught the chant: "Barack Hussein Obama."
Columnist Michelle Malkin identified the children as students at B. Bernice Young Elementary School, Burlington Township, N.J.
The children are lined up in front of a stage with the words:
--------------------------------------------------------
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
YEAH. Barack Hussein Obama
-------------------------------------------------------
"OK, now let's do the song," says the adult leader.
The lyrics appear to include:
--------------------------------------------------------
Hello Mr. President, We honor you today
For all your great accomplishments, we all do say hooray
Hooray, Mr. President you are No. 1
The first black American to lead this nation
--------------------------------------------------------
Malkin said the video originally was posted in June by YouTube user 'brandnuwords," who now has removed it.
It later was reposted by other YouTube users.
Malkin identified "brandnuwords" as Charisse Carney-Nunes, senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, who is described as "award-winning author of the children's books 'I Am Barack Obama.'"
Her biography identifies her as a graduate of Harvard "where she was a schoolmate of President Obama."

This will thrill the American people to see that children are learning to follow authority!
It’s a mental illness.
The West is red, the sun is rising
Amerika has brought forth a Barack Obama.
He works for the people’s welfare.
Hurrah, He is the people’s great savior.
Chairman Obama loves the people,
He is our guide,
To build a new Amerika,
Hurrah, he leads us forward!
The Communist Party is like the sun,
Wherever it shines, it is bright.
Wherever there is a Communist Party,
Hurrah, there the people are liberated!
The lyrics apparently borrows words from the popular Sunday School song : JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN.
With the lyrics : “Red and Yellow Black and White, they are precious in His sight.” changed to :
“Red and Yellow Black and White, they are equal in His eyes”
they called it the Young Pioneers in Soviet times.
Well, we heard at Obama’s inauguration that we should let yellow be mellow, let brown stick around, and all that stuff.
From the Home New Tribune
Though she says he has not resigned, the teacher's situation at Crossroads Middle School South is not yet resolved. Shiba Pillai-Diaz's walkout involved the local police, left school officials mum and appalled the local Republican Party. Pillai-Diaz, 33, a volunteer with the Bush campaign and an English teacher, has had a publicity picture of the First Couple hanging in her classroom since the start of the school year, she said. The photo became an issue last week. ... "Students said, 'You like George Bush? He's killed people,' " Pillai-Diaz said. "As a rule I don't talk about my politics in the classroom." ... Thursday, at back-to-school night, the controversy exploded after a parent asked why the picture was up, Pillai-Diaz said. "The way she asked was a political assault," the teacher said. Then the parents started their own debate about the picture, and one mother stormed out of the classroom, Pillai-Diaz said. Friday morning, the teacher, who is in her sixth year of teaching and her first in South Brunswick, was called into the assistant principal's office. Daniels told her to remove the picture, Pillai-Diaz said. "He said, 'If you care about your job, you'll take the picture down,' " she said. Pillai-Diaz told the assistant principal to take the picture down himself. Then she sought Principal Jim Warfel, who gave her an upbraiding. "He said, 'You've caused more disruption, hatred and anger than anyone I've ever known,' " she said. The teacher said the principal told her to "get out," so she left and headed to the South Brunswick Police Department. An officer accompanied Pillai-Diaz back to the school because she said she feared for her safety when she went to collect her belongings, police said. Once Pillai-Diaz felt safe at the school the officer left, police said. In the school, Pillai-Diaz had a two-hour meeting with Superintendent Gary McCartney and a representative from the teachers' union. Both parties told the teacher she would lose any fight she would try to start about the picture, Pillai-Diaz said.
Antichrist anyone?
Obama yuttte
Imagine the press storm if it had been “God Bless America” in a public school.
You misspelled Amerikkka.
And white had better get its’head right!
Kids aren’t total dolts.
I would bet on underground, counter-culture versions of this chant popping up when the teachers aren’t looking.

For some reason, the fact that they bastardized Battle Hymn of the Republic bugs me most of all. The whole incident is nauseating!
If this was for “Black History Month”, I wonder if the tykes were enlightened to any Booker T. Washington?
Wow!
I had totally forgotten about that incident!
A picture hanging in a classroom vs. students being forced to sing praises to Obama WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS’ KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION and a principal whose only concern after parental outrage, is to find out and punish whoever filmed the incident!
OUTRAGEOUS! But not at all surprising in these times!
I agree...I hate leftist trash stealing and misappropriating what I think is the most stirring hymn of all.
He is too stupid to be the anti-Christ.
A picture of the sitting US President is part of teaching kids civics and current events.
But singing a variation of a Jesus song about him and how he loves all the children is just plain creepy and wrong.
And it's sooooooo leftwing - the weird cult-of-personality, pseudo-religiousness of their politics. "My life for you, master" kinda creepiness.
Dangerous oddball nutjobs, the lot of them.
Fox News has this story on their front page. I clicked on CNN to see what they had to say about it, but couldn’t find anything?
The "teacher" did a pretty bad job teaching the kids diction.
I guess any doofus can get a job teaching kids to sing.
Teachers just like her are what’s wrong with Publuc Education......they are nothing but LEFTISTS!
Some are saying that the kids wrote the lyrics...yeah, about equal pay!
What’s with the change of words to the Sunday School song that used to be a song of praise to Jesus ?
I wonder if they got taught O-snaps and Z-snaps along with it.
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
`Blut Und Ehre!’
No wonder that the administration is trying to get rid of the baby boomers in the so called heathcare... once the baby boomers who remember what it was like prior to marxist takeover is gotten rid of.... they can continue to mush the brains of the newer generation.
In this case, it happens to be the first minority President... that is even MORE unwholesome and certainly dangerous ground… whatever your politics.
There is undeniably some kind of social pathology going on with this ‘Wall-to-wall Obama’ BS.
If he was famous or noted for something he has ACCOMPLISHED, that would almost justify the phenomena…almost. BUT, he is just famous for being famous…. Duhhhh …. He’s Kind’a like the Paris Hilton of world politics.
I’m surprised they didn’t rework this gem from “Animal Farm”. Perhaps some Conservative teacher would do that. On the other hand, hate to see the kids used as pawns.
COMRADE NAPOLEON
Friend of the fatherless!
Fountain of happiness !
Lord of the swill bucket!
Oh, how my soul is on
Fire when I gaze at thy
Calm and commanding eye
Like the sun in the sky
Comrade Napoleon!
Comrade Napoleon !
Comrade Napole-ole-ole-ole-on!
If he is limited to a total of 8 years, what’s the point of indoctrinating young children? (I think there’s a scary one).
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again. When all the honkies are in the poor house that’s when we’ll win.
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay. Minority set-asides and racial baiting is our savior’s way.
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance. He’ll empty your wallet then he’ll take your pants.
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight. Unless you’re a Christian, now that just ain’t right.
Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama
YEAH. Barack Hussein Obama - take our liberties away!
That jumped out at me, as well after reading the lyrics..... using a verse from Jesus Loves the Little Children and modifying it to praise Obama. Beyond creepy.
Your (property tax) dollars at work. Libs are such tools!
Are you sure that is not The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan? They used to sing, too.
For those not familiar with the snip, from "Cabaret", check out this rousing version
THE OBAMA ANTHEM :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXr1mkYWeCU&feature=related
The song is from the Glenn Beck Radio Show on 20 Aug. 2008. The poster just added some pictures to it.
Glenn unveiled the savior’s brand new theme song-—it’s a remake of something very near and dear to the Senator from Illinois heart: the Soviet National Anthem. The way people bow down at the altar of Obama it’s only fitting that his brand new anthem is so catchy that it’s guaranteed to be stuck in your head all day long.
When I saw those kids sing I swear I thought I was watching a video from Havana University. It’s sickening. I don’t care who the President is(Democrat or Republican) you don’t have kids singing creepy songs to them. Are we officially Cuba now
