From Breitbart: BIG BIRD RICHER THAN MITT ROMNEY

OMG. Now this is really stretching it.

Big Bird makes more money than Mitt Romney, but is still on the government dole.

In the aftermath of getting massacred in last night's debate, both President Obama and the corrupt media are trying to salvage a little something by taking issue with Governor Mitt Romney's promise to end taxpayer funding of PBS. At a campaign rally today, Obama The Bald-Faced Liar said of Romney, "He's going to get rid of regulations on Wall Street, but he'll crack down on Sesame Street." (Romney is not going "to get rid of" Wall Street regulations.)

As if that wasn't bad enough, CNN's execrable Carol Costello attempted to pretend the debate would eventually become all about the fallout over taking Big Bird off the taxpayer teat.

Naturally, though, the very same corrupt media and failed president currently demanding "specifics" from Romney have absolutely no desire to talk specifics about how much of our grand children's money we're borrowing from China to subsidize television shows, many of them left-wing.

This is better than standing up for the 47% tape.


This has to be the greatest Democratic psych ops in history.


There could be no rational explanation for this lunacy.

is rolled back into PBS and supports other programs for kids including the Talk, Listen, Connect program which is aimed at supporting the children of members of the military who are deployed overseas.

Maybe the right wing idiots over at Breitbart should do a little homework before making such a stupid comparison. Let us know when Mitt Romney donates EVERY dime of his ill-gotten gains into programs that support learning and support children of members of the military.

Nearly all people alive today have watched Sesame Street. This would be people in their 40's now...or have kids that watched Sesame Street.

People labeling it as Left Wing because...they teach kids a little bit of Spanish? Because they teach kids that people different from you aren't really that different? (wheelchair-deaf-blind-old) Yeah. I can see why tea baggers hate Sesame Street. And Mitt played to his base with that one. But most of America loves Sesame Street and the rest of PBS too.
