Is anyone else creeped out by the children singing about Obama? Seen the Youtube ideo? I don't happen to have a link handy, but it's not hard ot find.

I haven't seen the video, but I'm generally creeped out by children as performers in any context so I imagine I would be.

You'd best avoid Bugsy Malone then.

I agree that using kids as performers for political and/or religious advocacy is manipulative and awful.

Yes, completely creepy. Drudge linked to it with a tag that said "Children sing for dear leader." I think he also under the Obama video, had a link to a bunch of North Korean children singing for their leader, as well.

There was a time when Drudge posted positive links about Obama. Now he routinely ignores controversial stories... Troopergate would otherwise be HUGE (I just have to read Mudflats instead).
