Video of the students at the Burlington, N.J., school shows them singing songs seemingly overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama," repeatedly chanting the president's name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his "great plans" to "make this country's economy No. 1 again."

One song that the children were taught 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."

"I'm stunned -- I can't believe it's our school," said Jim Pronchik, who told FOXNews.com his 8-year-old son Jimmy was one of the 18 students in the video. "We don't want to praise this guy like he's a god or an idol or a king or anything like that. That's the wrong message to be sending."

And it took this long for the story to break. Makes me wonder what else is going on we don't know about yet.

Liberals have really cornered the market on creepy.

To break? This is not exactly front page newsworthy. We've had many really important stories that were newsworthy go totally under the radar and this is the one that you find important enough to start a thread about? It was 7 months ago and completely innocuous. Can't the right wing Limbaugh crowd come up with anything of real importance? I suppose not.

I suppose there just wasn't any more juicy gossip about the love life of Sarah Palin's daughter.
