Students Forced to Pledge Allegiance to the Obamessiah…

Pledge of Allegiance Becomes Pledge to Obama
By Alan Gray, NewsBlaze

A parent in the Clark County School District of Las Vegas, Henderson area reported today that his son, who is in 1st grade, came home yesterday saying that he didn’t want to go back to school anymore.

When asked why, the boy said that during the Pledge of Allegiance the teacher put up a large image of Obama next to the flag.

Thinking that the boy might be exaggerating, the man asked his son if he was sure, and suggested that by “large” he might mean an 8×10 photo of the president. The boy apparently said “No, it is a large picture of Obama and when we are done, the teacher turns off the image.”
The same thing was not done for President Bush last year.

After investigating this morning, the other parent reported that what the boy said was true.

At least three of the five classrooms have an overhead projector and as the children stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the teacher turns on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about 4 feet away from the flag that hangs on the wall. The screen is apparently around five feet by six feet.

In the image, President Obama appears to be staring straight out with no facial expression, just a serious look. All of the kids in each class faced the President, instead of the flag that hangs in the corner.

Local parents are up in arms over this situation. Teachers clearly do not realize the gravity of what they are doing.

UPDATE:

Director Blue points out that, though Obama is already President of the United States, and is thus able to use the Presidential Seal of the United States of American, he continues to use his Obama logo:

He's the President. He has a Presidential Seal. So why would he continue to use the Obama logo? 


This frickin' thing is like a bad penny.

It keeps turning up in the strangest places.

Barack Obama is the President. He has a Presidential Seal. Why would he still need the inspiration for the new Pepsi logo?


Why would he need his own youth group? A group named for him, not his political party.


A group operating outside the auspices of the U.S. Government, but with its implicit approval.

Why?

To satisfy someone's ego?

To build a cult of personality?

Why?

Perhaps before the New York Times closes its doors for the last time, they could devote a couple of hours of investigative journalism to discover the motivation behind the continued use of this odd symbology.

Most dictatorships requires pictures of their presidents be in all places, sometimes including car dashboards. This is beyond the pale! Obama is just a man, and more so, he is a man with whom no one really knows anything about. I do NOT like where this is going!

This is the kind of thing which always happens under a demagogue.

I'm getting really scared. This is not normal. This is not AMERICAN.

Either he's laughably and pathetically narcissistic, or everything thing he does is truly tinged by Marxism...which leads to fascism. And I think we are on the way.

Because it's illegal to use the presidential seal on a party site. You didn't notice?

Where in the world were you guys when Bush was putting the presidential seal on his socks?

Is there nothing worthwhile for you to do? No litter to go pick up? No Meals on Wheels to deliver? No kids who need an adult to read to them at the library?
