I’m not sure what to make of this: kids in politics, sing for change

When I first saw this video, my thoughts were all over the place. If you haven’t seen it, you probably should. As far as I know, the video is 22 children, ages 5-12, singing an original composition for the Obama campaign with a group called “Sing for Change.”

I know the video has been yanked from a few YouTube spots, and I’m not sure why or by who. Watch below and tell me what you think.

    That’s stupid on so many levels.

    For starters, I don’t care who a puppet kid sings about me voting for. I don’t respect their opinions.

    Second of all, it arguably could be considered exploitation (although my vote was that the young and impressionable one).

    Third, what is the target demographic? If kids singing songs they didn’t write gets your vote, you shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

    Fourth, it’s not true.

    Didn’t get to see the video, but I would echo Stuarts thoughts. However, my vote was for #2 (up to the parents).
