You Can Vote However You Like!

Next week we will find out if the sun is going to shine on November 05th. In the meantime the students at Ron Clark came up with this little ditty "You Can Vote However You Like", which uses the melody of T I's number one song "You Can Have Whatever You Like". I thought this was too cute and proves that everyone is thinking about this election, even those who will not be voting for many years to come.

The students who perform the song are on the school's debate team and the song is a a debate of sort, illuminating the pros and cons of each candidate. I am providing the lyrics of the song, along with a video of the children performing the song. Feel free to join in and sing along!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

(McCain supporters)
McCain's the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They'll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might

(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama's new, he's younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He'll bring a change, he's got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq's a shame
Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won't
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won't!
Have enough experience - you know that they don't
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - you know that you won't

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you're going to have some drama
We need it
HE'LL BRING IT
He'll be it
YOU'LL SEE IT
We'll do it
GET TO IT
Let's move it
DO IT!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

I'm talking big pipe lines, and low gas prices
Below $2.00 that would be nice

But to do it right we gotta start today
Finding renewable ways that are here to stay

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA,
Stick wit McCain you gone have some drama
MORE WAR IN IRAQ
Iran he will attack
CAN'T BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
We gotta vote Barack!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Seems pretty obvious that these kids have much more sense than many adults. As they say "out of the mouths of babes".

Hey, we saw this the day they were on the news and on the music awards shows last week or so.

Stagg has Wednesday off so we can stay up late and watch results, pray, and watch all the pundits too.

Thinking of you and thanks for finding this performance by the ids, it's really great!
