Why praise songs to Obama ought to give us the creeps

Try this one on for size: to "O Store Gud" is the approximate tune. ("How Great Thou Art")

The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
Obama marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom the GOP and reactionaries exposed
March in spirit within our ranks.

Clear the streets for the Czar battalions,
Clear the streets for the Obama Youth!
Already millions look with hope to the Obam-O
The day of freedom and bread is dawning!

Rollcall has sounded for the last time
We are all prepared for the fight!
Soon Obama flags will flutter over barricades.
Our servitude will not last much longer now!

The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
Obama marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom the GOP and reactionaries exposed
March in spirit within our ranks.

Now here's the source. I only changed 11 words from the original, and it's got a decided similarity to the songs being sung in schools to the praise of Dear Leader. Hopefully one of these days, liberals will wake up to the possible consequences they're encouraging with the Obama cult of personality.
