School Kids Sing Obama Health Care Song on CNN
By TheWatchman on October 8, 2009Schoolchildren from the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta sung a health care reform song on the CNN set this week. The song was set to the beat of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA." This comes on the heels of the praise Obama song video that landed on YouTube last month, which features school children performing an Obama rap song. Not surprisingly, searching CNN's web site for the health care song video reveals nothing.
Underneath the health care reform song video posted below, you'll find a transcript of the song's lyrics. It's hardly a bipartisan performance with lines like, "Obama says everyone needs health coverage in America now. We need to insure those 47 million, but the government doesn't know how. ... Bipartisan support was tried, so we wouldn't be denied, but Joe Wilson yelled, 'You lie!'"
Obamacare Song Video Transcript:
Got paged in the morning at 5am
Time to go into work again
Welcome to the world of medicine
Whoa - here we go again
The hospital's packed with people in a long line
Agitated 'cause we've waited for a long time
This is all so crazy
Too many missing coverage lately
My tummy's turning and I'm feelin' kinda sickly
My hip's bad and I feel week
And the prices are always raising up
Conservatives and liberals say
To reform health care today
But they can't seem to find a way
So we throw our hands up,
for health care reform
Make your choice today
Private and public care
Will the marketplace treat us fair?
So we throw our hands up,
for health care reform
Make your choice today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a problem in the U.S.A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a problem in the U.S.A.
Obama says everyone needs health coverage in American now
We need to insure those 47 million but the government doesn't know how
Deductibles getting higher every day
I got my bill and I'm thinking no way!
And what about my brother
He's hurt and can't get covered
My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda worried
Capricious coverage is killing me
And when the doctor said
You'll have to go
Bipartisan support was tried
so we wouldn't be denied
But Joe Wilson yelled, "You lie!"
So we throw our hands up,
for health care reform
Make your choice today
Private and public care
Will the marketplace treat us fair
So we throw our hands up,
for health care reform
Make your choice today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a problem in the U.S.A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a problem in the U.S.A.
In case the Obama health care song sounds familiar, here's the original Miley Cyrus video for "Party in the U.S.A." from Hollywood Records:

Does “Hitler Youth” ring any bells??? This literally makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I agree.
“Be a good youth and tell us about your parents. What, they disagree with the administration? Well, we must take them for a while for “re-education”.
