That was great!! No matter who wins next week, Obama's candidacy has electrified so many many people in this country (and around the world)... This election has captured the imagination of millions, and it's most impactful for the kids, these very kids singing in the video... It's their future, and, by his very presence, Obama proves that they can make of it whatever they want, truly..... 2008 - Best. Election. EVER!!

That's pretty awesome. How much would it suck to have to be the kids who argued the McCain side? You know they had to draw straws or something for that...

If only Social Studies class had been that fun when I was 12.

That was really cute! I liked it. Obama really has changed politics. President Obama...I can hardly wait!

So using kids as political props is okay when it's for Obama?

This isn't a partisan rap, you goddamn idiots.

@11. What #12 said. This obviously isn't pro-one candidate or another, if you actually listen to the song.

All I have to say is that these kids have a way better music program than I ever had at their age, or ever for that matter. Watching this was just fun. And 12 & 13 are correct. This song doesn't endorse one candidate over the other.

"White people have no rhythm" is sooo played out. Just drop it.

Here is the contemporary song they are covering, I don't think it's noted here or in the CNN story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0BShKHSMmo T.I. - Whatever you like

Sponsored by... Malaria! I've got dance racism. Whenever I see a white kid dance exactly like a black kid he still looks like he's doing it wrong!

Obama should invite those kids up for the Grant Park rally on Tuesday. Would be perfect.
