Nearly a week after President Obama’s lackluster
performance in the first presidential debate, his campaign
came out with an ad attacking Mitt Romney’s threat to
cut funding to PBS—and put Big Bird’s future in jeopardy.
“Big, yellow, a menace to our economy. Mitt Romney
knows it’s not Wall Street you have to worry about it, it’s
Sesame Street,” the narrator says. Obama has evoked
Big Bird in several speeches since the debate. “Governor
Romney plans to let Wall Street run wild again, but he’s
bringing the hammer down on Sesame Street,” he said
at a campaign event over the weekend.
