Hey.....I guess this is one way to get young people interested in politics...use the music they listen to. Great idea!

Cindy...Ga.

how can mc cain hit the dems about raising taxes on the middle class, when he supports the war spending $10 billion a month that if elected could see no end in the future. give me a higher tax.

McCain and Palin
They are still standin
But without your vote
We may get a bloke

MC MC MC McCain
He is so sane
He'll fight for us
He's a man we can trust

GO Johnny Go Johnny
He's a hero
A hero
A hero for all

Will this lead to ringtones? Awesome if it does:) I've heard one of Barack doing a Spice Girl song Wannabe clip; it goes 'I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want'

Somebody needs to book these kids. They are great! I think Barack should have them perform for him.

Go Kids!

Change is really on it way!! to see kids getting invovled in politic and also having fun with it , that's a change!!

Just happened to re-watch the movie, The Ron Clark Story, last week. Matthew Perry plays this amazing teacher who overcomes obstacle after obstacle to reach the kids in his class. The "extras" include an interview with the real Ron Clark, and you can see/feel his enthusiasm as if he were in the same room with you. He eventually opened his own school, and I am thrilled that he is still getting kids to see what school has to do with real life. WE NEED MORE TEACHERS LIKE THIS. Sens. Obama and McCain both would do well to pay attention to what this man knows about education.

i liked that obama&macain rap

The kids are intrested in Politics and enjoying the Rap

I Love this! Wonder if the artist T.I. has heard this? Wow very very good. Glad you included the lyrics.

Novel way to get kids involved in the political process. My hat is off to Mr. Clark for a well thought out and inovative teaching technique. The nation needs more teachers like this who think out side the lines to stimulate young minds.

WOW thats what im talking about go KIDS

Mr. Ron Clark...now THAT 's a REAL MAVERICK–not the self-proclaimed ones! He is one educator who has successfully reconciled theory and practice in teaching these children this rap.

To the rapping Ron Clark Academy students I say, "Go! Go! GO!" and "Great! Great! GREAT!"

There is HOPE, isn't it?

I was not surprised to see they were from the Ron Clark Academy.
As a school counselor, I use many of his ideas and he is definitely on the right track on how to bring up our children.
He probably won't be reading this, but if he does, "GREAT JOB RON!"
You are right, Leslie B. They would be very wise to enlist Ron's help in getting America's schools on the right path! Unfortunately, we have all these politicians who have never been in a classroom, much less a school, who are calling the shots. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor in Ron's school, EVERYONE succeeds. . . . .

WOW! I love these kids...what a great way to teach children about politics. I can't wait to share this with my colleagues!!!! Way to go teachers at Ron Clark Academy, way to go! Learning for the sake of application and not just for the sake of learning is simply wonderful...I want the students in my school to watch this clip. I think it will surely motivate them! Thanks CNN, thanks!

Now that's getting it done......... Thanks kids. Ghalyah

I'm offended by Rap-For- Your-Favorite Candidate: Sounds like code-words to me. Let's see how many White Rappers do you know? I am just as offended by this, as thoughs, who say they are offended, by Gov. Palins use of Soccer Moms, Hockey Moms, or Joe Six Packs. Turn around is fair-play.

Ron Clark,has done a great job here.But i,being on the far-left,have my own lyrics.Right vs Left Rap.I'm John McCain,and i'm with moose hunter,were both white on Iraq,and the"ll be no surrender.I'm Barack Obama,and were like salt and pepper,so put us on your table,and will join hands together.Sarah and i,look good together,i'm old she's young,the way it ought to be,vote for us,don't be a commie.Joe and i,are the only way to go,vote for us,and the World will show it.Vote vote vote for McCain,keep prices low,low low,for walmart moms,don't worry about those Chinese,walmart submarines,off the west coast,just worry,just worry about Bin Laden,and i know how to find him.People people people,don't be uptight,vote for me and Joe,and everything will be alright,most people will come to us,after we win,this battle,but for those,am all day people,we will have the camps.They will learn right from wrong,and that everyone,should be paid the same,rap rap rap,will make them leftist,free healthcare for all,and a roof over everyones head.

We need something for Nader too!!

THAT is so cute ...

BETTER than some of the actual RAP performers I have heard????

BUT I am not an expert on RAP????

Way to go kids with the McCain Obama rap!
Change is the need in all areas , viz. economy/health-care/taxation etc.
The present CNN poll survey putting Senator Obama on an 8 p.c. lead is not enough to win the election with nine days to go. No one knows for sure what will really sway a Voter, especially the undecided voter, when he is at the booth. All said and done, a testing time indeed for the American public.

Obama has consistently said he will not raise taxes on tax payers making less 250 thousand dollars or less, only on taxpayers making over 250 thousand dollars. This is 90/95 % of the country. Mccain and Palin keep saying that Obama says he will raise all of our taxes. They refuse to tell the whole story. What part of this does do they not understand. Or maybe they are in the 10% making over 250 thaousand a year. and don't want their taxes raised. I also would like to know what dollar amount Palin thinks is middle class. If she considers herself middle class the the rest of us are at the proverty level.

this is amazing. thankfully i have teachers who are cool enough to do this kind of thing in class too.
this kind of thing will get more young people out to vote as they are aware of what is actually going on. great idea.
