kimmy Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 It's hard not to watch and think, what the f***? However, here's the link, enjoy! Man, I misread the title and was thinking "most of these kids are way too pale to be Obama's kids." At the risk of infuriating both "the left" and "the right", this reminds me of the Jesus Camp movie. The video's creator explains: kathysawada You are exactly right that children don't know about political issues, and for me, that's the point, they are our teachers: I think Obama represents a change of heart, a different worldview, one that is inclusive and that supports individual and mutual responsibility, a point of view that is beyond partisan issues. kathysawada to continue, Because I am a musician, I believe in the power of music to concretely change the collective consciousness, to strengthen and broaden our communal idea of who we are as families, nations and as citizens of the planet. Our children are the most powerful reason for us to come together. kathysawada part 3--As Barack said in his acceptance speech, we don't have to agree on everything, but surely we can find ground to come together in mutual purpose, dialogue and compassion, if for no one else, for the children. Kathy Sawada Obama is not a Presidential candidate, Obama is a state of being where we embrace our shared experiences and grow our mutual self interests into a collective whole that touches all of our hopes and aspirations and gives voice to that inner being that yearns to cry out "Yes! We are all Americans!" (except for those of us who are Canadian, obviously.) Obama is not a Senator, Obama is a world view where we are all singing children with the audacity to call out across this great great playground to greet each and every one who would like to come play with us and share our toys. Obama is not partisan politics, Obama is a spiritual awakening that gives each and every one of us the courage to literally become change and transform ourselves into the transmogrifying agent that will redefine ourselves and our country and our world into a place of hope and dreams for everyone. And Slim Shady, if you can't feel that spiritual awakening, if you can't see that world view, if you can't reach that state of being, it's probably because you're just a hard-hearted, bitter white-person who is just afraid to get onboard the love train with people who are differently colored than you. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ)

And you're also right about Obama being a state of being. And this ridiculous display supports your premise. I've also had a difficult time getting onboard the Obama love train. I'm not sure if it's because of his vacuous campaign theme, or the fact that I'm a "typical white person" (Obama's words), bitter and clinging to my religion and guns. Quote
