The creepy pro-Obama ad featuring the child singers chastising adults has suddenly been removed by its creators from both YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/user/futurechildrenprojec ) and Vimeo. Even the host website - www.futurechildrenproject.com - has disappeared.
But the Internet never forgets, and the video can still be found, even though Obama et al no longer wish you to see it.

Here are the pathetic lyrics:
Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea
We don’t have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff
We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
We haven’t killed all the polar bears
But it’s not for lack of trying
The Earth is cracked
Big Bird is sacked
And the atmosphere is frying
Congress went home early
They did their best we know
You can’t cut spending
With elections pending
Unless it’s welfare dough
We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
Find a park that is still open
And take a breath of poison air
They foreclosed your place
To build a weapon in space
But you can write off your au pair
It’s a little awkward to tell you
But you left us holding the bag
When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term’s kind of a drag
We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And yeah, we’re blaming you
You did your best
You failed the test
Mom and Dad
We’re blaming you!
Perhaps future historians will be able to figure out how a political advertisement so missed the mark. ( http://townhall.com/columnists/marybethhicks/2012/10/31/unmusical_proobama_ditty_is_seriously_laughable ) That'll be the first step in determining how a 4-year presidency turned out to be the absolute worst in modern history.
