Here's a video of kids singing a song of praise to Obama:

[YouTube direct link]

And here's a news story by CBS.

Which is not about the video.

The story is about the reaction of angry, illiterate, right-wingers to the video being posted by Fox News.

They also misquote Fox by saying that part of the song was sung to "the tune of 'Jesus Loves the Little Children,'"

What Fox said was the song "quotes directly from the spiritual "Jesus Loves the Little Children," though Jesus' name is replaced with Obama's: "He said red, yellow, black or white/All are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama."

The actual line is "Red and yellow, black and white/They are precious in his sight".

The tune they "borrowed" at the end of their otherwise tuneless rap ditty is "Battle Hymn of the Republic", sans chorus.

Lyrics, courtesy of Fox News:

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
