yeah, but Steven, it was made when the President was a young’un, so if it didn’t air when he was in Indonesia, it may well have influenced him.

#6, oh, I was just having an OMG moment. Being the same age as Obama, I remember in my 3rd grade music class singing the non-comercial version of that song.

Steven, being just a year or two younger, I am afraid that I have the same… horrible… memory.

Just look at how vacant their expressions are. (Sorry. I’ll stop.)

Thank God we didn’t, that I recall.
Digitally remaster it and I’ll bet their eyes are all bloodshot.

Is this song cheesy? Hokey? You betcha. Yet recalling the 70s and still loving Coke I do have a fondness for it. Call it a “guilty pleasure”…
This is also perhaps the most apt description of Obama’s foreign policy that I’ve seen yet!!!
