So in honor of the Presidential Inauguration today I decided to show off some political themed cartoons from the classic animated series Schoolhouse Rock! You remember those catchy songs you saw as a kid on those Saturday morning cartoons. Schoolhouse Rock began as a commercial advertising venture but it became very popular and it took off! Here are some of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock political/government themed videos!
