Terry,

You left out the sixth component: (6) In order to become productive members of our 21st democracy, students must be taught the values of social justice, sustainable living, and civic responsibility in expectation of one day voting for Barack Obama.

It’s not that far fetched of an idea, either, as evidenced by the widely circulated video showing elementary school students singing the praises of Obama.

The line that always gets me from that ballad to the chief is the part about “changing” and “rearranging” the country. It reminds me of the mobster’s threat to “rearrange your face.”
