I've seen liberals make mention of the fact that in 2006, a bunch of "Katrina Kids" sang a song about President Bush to Laura Bush (sorry, no video available, just a story).

Partial lyrics:

Our country's stood beside us
People have sent us aid.
Katrina could not stop us,
our hopes will never fade.
Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us
and we join them hand-in-hand!

Which is the precise equivalent of the ObamaJugend rap ditty, right?

Look, I'm just gonna be polite and only mention a couple really obvious differences.

1) The O-J tune was NOT sung to Michelle Obama.

2) The Bush tune does NOT mention Bush's first, middle, and last names SIX times.

In related news, the San Francisco Gate piece linked above has an "incriminating" video of "the 'Jesus Camp' where kids were worshiping a cardboard cutout of good old Number 43":

which the article's author uses to bludgeon Michelle Malkin for criticizing the O-J video:

Now I'd bet Michelle would say, "Aww, that's so cute!" Why? Because the kids are white and its George Bush? Yeah, right. And so there's the racial problem - she can ignore singing if its done by white school kids praising a white Republican President, but if the subject's America's first black President, she gets really mad.

Three problems with this statement:

1) The kids are in a private Bible camp, not a public school.

2) They are praying FOR President Bush, not TO him.

3) I saw one black boy and two Mexican kids in the crowd.

Ignorance is sad.

Willful ignorance is repugnant.
