Sounds like a really fancy healthcare plan... I wonder who will be paying for all that coverage?

To me the strange thing about this whole thing is that "because of Obama" they can do all of these things. Why not because of my parents? What aren't their parents teaching them? After Obama was elected I heard several blacks on TV say that now they can teach their kids that they can do anything. To me, if they weren't teaching that to their kids before they could almost be charged with child abuse.

Worship of a false god. Alpha and Omega is one way that G-D refers to Himself in the bible.
These little Storm Troopers won't be happy with just roasting some Jews, these programs are the way to staff his Civilian Security Force. ALL DISSENT WILL BE SQUASHED.

I didn't hear any of them say they wanted to be a doctor in O's new healthcare system.

Did I hear one of them say that people would be able to afford medicaid? Medicaid is free from the state if you qualify? What's not to afford or am I missing something?

OK guys, let's drop the Nazi references.

Back when I had a favorable impression of Bush (and even when I didn't), the Nazi comparisons made no sense to me and I found it offensive, whether I supported him or not.

I understand what you are saying but there was not a bush youth group being form.

Bush didn't appeal to young kids like Obama does. And Bush did what to inspire anybody?

Regardless of how silly that video is, try to put yourself in the place of those kids who may or may not have a parent who cares about them. They could get involved in worse endeavors.

i think children's plays are cute and show a level of intelligence that speaks highly of their ability to memorize and give up their individuality to become one of a proud group- in other words, perfect candidates to become one of the sheeple.

as far as the references to hitler youth- look at the flags on wiki and then compare the symbology to the colored drawing on the wall. very similar "S" shape.

the other curious aspect of the video is why are they wearing camo pants and what looks like desert issue boots? Here we have a president that pushes for civil discourse, yet these kids have been put in military style clothing. why not khaki pants and business shoes? why are their speaking parts delivered in such a rigid fashion as opposed to the more civil tone of a debate team? why do they hold their fists together instead of a more peaceful gesture? is it all for shock value? are we then wrong to be shocked by it and see the immediate similarity to a militaristic youth society. nearly every single person that i know, including ones that are diametrically opposed to my political and moral beliefs, almost immediately mumble something about nazi or hitler youth upon seeing that video. for that many people to immediately draw that correlation must mean on some basic level it does indeed represent that aspect of history. so i would say that this isnt the usual ignorant sparring of how the opposing pres is always called a "nazi." It is more of a correct criticism of something that jumps out as outside of the norm.

Honestly I think they are trying to imitate some of the routines they see typically performed by black college fraternities. You see a lot of that same type clothing and mannerisms in their performances in step shows, etc.
