Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 4:20 PM

"Head of NBC UNIVERSAL Jeff Zucker among Hollywood bigwigs behind video...

That's what the Drudge Report says, but NBC Universal gave a statement to Fox News saying their Jeff Zucker was not involved in the creation of the video.

Allison Gollust of NBC told Fox News producer Ron Mitchell in an email "It is a different Jeff Zucker."

The video in question features 22 school-age children wearing identical Obama shirts singing a 3-minute ode to the Democratic presidential candidate.

The performance is part of a "Sing for Change" campaign inspired by an Obama fundraiser and music teacher Kathy Sawada. It was filmed on a Sunday afternoon in Venice, California and late uploaded to the Internet by video editing professionals.

The song was featured on Obama's presidential website in a August 20 post HERE.

Obama video
Any adult who watches this video and doesnt see a problem needs to get help now! The children are being exploited plain and simple. And to top it off, their teacher is the ring leader. And guess who is watching it all happen-THE PARENTS! Now i am not telling anyone who to vote for, but it goes to an all time low to promote a video using young children to push your personal agenda. Yes, tell the kids about the election and how as adults they will get to vote and participate. But do not shove down the throats of children your personal views! Just look at the surrounding walls of this video- its all propaganda!! THIS VIDEO LOOKS LIKE A HITLER VIDEO. There are two good men running for president and the children need to know that! Anyone telling them different doesnt really care about them. Adults need to protect and teach, not use children!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kids for Obama
Sounds like smart tots, yes? How is this a bad thing, again? On the other hand, we've got churches openly discussing how they will "preach" to their congregations openly to vote for McCain - without a single vestige of shame for their manipulation.

Singing Kids
You know there is another country that sings to there dear leader(I will leave it to you to figure out the country). Although Obama's not the leader, they are gonna do everything they can to get him there even if it means using kids. It gets vial when you use kids to promote your Candidate. They have no shame anymore.

No surprise
As I posted elsewhere people need to understand the demography from whence these children come from. Venice, Ca is a quaint but very left leaning community. It is an immediate neighbor of The Peoples Republic of Santa Monica. Venice, Ca. was the birthplace of beatniks in the 50's, hippies in the 60's and many other neo-free-lance movements. That the families who live there believe this is of no surprise. That they are creative enough to write, conduct and produce this is of no surprise. When you see this video think of a mindset like San Francisco where drug addicts are paid stipends and get free syringes. In short it ain't no big deal. It is a fringe element that makes America interesting, to put it nicely.

Not to be confused with David Zucker
I thought the name looked familiar so I went and checked An American Carol's web site. I'm not very good with names. O.o
