If you don't want people making fun of the messianic themes that keep creeping into your guy's campaign, DO NOT make videos like this:
All that's missing is baby Obama in a manger.
Dude...
UPDATE: different embed of video provided.

Children singing:
"Please, gentle Eva, will you bless a little child?
For I love you, tell Heaven I`m doing my best
I`m praying for you, even though you`re already blessed..."
Here is a utube link you can see the comparison...

Sarah Palin is an idiot. Don't blame the editing.

If it isn't a joke, I am SERIOUSLY disturbed.

You're trolling on a political website.
I rest my case.
(I could prove you wrong for 1000 other reasons, but why bother?)
Posted by: Cliff on September 30, 2008 08:53 PMFirst of all they lay the groundwork: " . . . in a neighbors house . . . " like it was just a spontaneous gathering or just some moms, dads and kidlets after bible school. Then you look a little closer. Two hugely professional, broadcast quality mikes (in a small rec room?), super large Obama logos, rendered in exacting detail, on the walls. All matching blue "hope" t-shirts. And the tracking shots! Obviously using a steady-cam rig, this wasn't pops shooting his kid on a palm cam, this thing was produced out the wazzo. The light is pretty fantastic for a little bungalow room. Look at the windows, they have all been covered in tissue to defuse the light. There is probably lighting rigs outside to even out the light broadcast inside. The guys that produced this knew their stuff. Old hands I'd bet. Far from a little gathering to watch the kiddies.
But the Obamites will see it and "pray" to the "O" for salvation from the evil McShame. It's all plastic banana feel good and fluff. Fit for a plastic messiah. Steve @ 14 had it right: one creepy video. But if it works . . .

While described as a grassroots effort, Kathy Sawada, who posted the video and can been seen directing the children in the video, is a bit more than just an enthusiastic music teacher you might find in your average public school.Sawada is a teacher at an elite and expensive Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles as part of the Piano faculty. Colburn just built a $120 million 12-story high-rise addition for their musicians.
Does a concert-quality musician in an elite school in the middle of the most ego-centric city in the United States count as a "grassroots" effort?
Here's a partial list of those who helped produce this "grassroots" effort:
Jeff Zucker -- American television executive, and President & CEO of NBC Universal.
Post-producer (former choreographer?) Holly Shiffer.
Motion picture camera operator/steadicam specialist Peter Rosenfeld (appropriately enough, worked in "Yes Man," a movie about " a guy challenges himself to say 'yes' to everything for an entire year."
Darin Moran, another motion picture industry professional, who just finished filming -- how appropriate -- Land of the Lost.
Andy Blumenthal, Hollywood film editor.Grassroots all the way, baby
In Hollywoodland, anything is possible.
Castro's Kids.
Brown Shirts.
Hitler Jugend.
Does anyone happen to remember that good ol Comrade Obambi wants forced volunteerism of kids?

The video was promoted on Obama's presidential website in an August 20 post. "What the children and a few adults accomplished in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon embodies the nature of the Obama campaign: its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building," Obama's campaign site said of the video.Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on September 30, 2008 11:11 PM

Cute kid singing unbelievably inappropriate words, joined in by her little buddies. Yep, Obama has just had Python moment. Maybe he's just pinin' for the fjords. He's lanky enough to do the silly walk.
