Oh, poor Matt, If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. If this bothers you so much when someone says something about YOUR precious Obama don't even read it.
Ummm... Obama was not the one who had those kids singing... he did not even set it up or have anything to do with it... and was not "exploiting" anyone...I just saw this on the fox station. Really sad when you have to exploit young children for your own gain.
Bolding mine. This was not done by the Obama campaign.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. The likes of Jeff Zucker, Holly Schiffer, Peter Rosenfeld, Darin Moran, Jean Martin, Andy Blumenthal, and Nick Phoenix rearranged schedules to participate. Holly Schiffer was able to get three High Definition cameras (Panasonic HVX250's), and an AVID editing facility. When Jeff Zucker went to pick up the camera package, Ted Schilowitz happened to be there and offered a RED camera set up on a Steadi Cam.
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.

You know, it is possible to discuss things with out being so rude...Oh, poor Matt, OH! If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. If this bothers you so much when someone says something about YOUR precious Obama don't even read it.
DanielleOh, just stop it already. We get it. You're so afraid of big bad "Hussein Obama". Just vote in November and stop trying to strike fear in people.

I'll tell you what scares me badLY is certainly not Obama, not even McCain, but the sheer and utter crap out there that make Box Fraudcasting look like a bastion of intellectual thought.
As I feel about myself. Tag "said" I was rude to you, but she neglected to put the smiles, so I retaliated. She only put what she thought she wanted to make a statement. I obviously could not have an opinion of my own, according to her. Sorry Matt, we ALL are entitled to an opinion and it does not have to agree with everyone elses. No offense. I love your posts. UsuallyI'm entitled to an opinion...and I sure don't think that's rude. I haven't been rude in the least.

ARG...Like I said 100 times..topics are TITLED..and there ya go..if its just a bunch of sweet kids singing..why should I stop scare people?? apperantly you made a connection all by yourself..I did NOT write a word..just posted a link.
Ohhhhh, but you did write a word, in your topic title, and then posted a link to children singing. Would you not expect readers to connect the two? If not, there would have been no reason for the post at all.
Not sure why the video was pulled, either.

You are entitled to your opinion and I have never said anything to the contrary. As are the rest of us. But opinions can be expressed without sneering, without YELLING.... which informing the rest of us how stupid we are... and so on. That applies to all of us.
