Romney zinged Obama this morning over the fact that the economy is terrible and people are hurting, yet he’s spent the last week talking about saving Big Bird:

Michelle Obama cutting Sesame Street is no way to balance the budget.

So cutting oBAMA will work.

America ask Obama, Is that all you've got?

If Obozo worried about saving Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam or even Ralph Bakshi's stable of characters, he'd be likely to milk more votes out of the effort.

Big Bird is a senior citizen and a fruity one at that.

Even Big Bird has told obummer that he doesn't have permission to use BB... I guess that just about says it all!

O can relate to Big Bird because he is a big bird. Yellow all over.

Not to put a wet blanket on all the fun we are having with this, but Big Bird and Sesame Street, are both the anchor symbol and PBS program that most Liberals hold dear. PBS represents everything Liberals believe in.

"We are all citizens of the World. We all have to get along, in a wonderful rainbow coalition of multi-culturalism. We have to teach the little children, from the day they are born, that they have to respect the earth, and all the animals, and all the insects, and especially, all the communists who look out for their welfare."

That is what PBS does, and that is what Sesame Street does, and that is what Big Bird does.

I don't know if you caught it today, but Glenn Beck did a segment today on his radio show, about the way our Educational system has been corrupted and taken over by the Communists and Liberals.

It was a really good show. If you missed it, you can find it in the archives.

We've gone over this before. If you want to control the way a nation thinks, don't start with the old farts. Because they're not gonna buy your bullshit. Start with the children, and then follow them all the way through Graduate School with more bullshit.

The point of Glenn Beck's program today, was that it isn't just that we are graduating these kids through our educational system, and turning out new Liberals on a daily basis.

No, if that was the only problem, we could probably get a handle on it, and turn it around. The actual problem, is that we are already into the second generation of the Communist plan from the sixties.

The college professors, who are teaching our children today, are the ones who are doing the damage. They are the ones who were indoctrinated into the program early on, and now they are ones who are teaching our kids.

Our Educational system is corrupt, beyond all measure. We no longer teach History. We no longer teach Fine Arts, or even appreciation of Art. We no longer teach our children what it means to be a citizen of this country. We no longer teach our children what it means to be a Patriot, and how many Patriots died, to protect their Freedom.

Most high schools in this country, no longer give classes on The Constitution. Just like Obama, they consider it a worthless instrument. Outdated by current events, and no longer relevant.

If that is what you believe, then this great experiment, that has lasted over two hundred years, is pretty much over.

If that is not your belief, then we need to fight to turn this thing around. It is certainly possible, but not guaranteed.

I am enjoying the recent success that Romney seems to be having. I hope it continues through the election. I believe he would change the direction of this country, if elected.

The alternative, is unthinkable.

The Big Bird flap is hilarious!

Obama, the petulant child carries on about Big Bird. Meanwhile, the adult in the house Governor Romney, explains the important issues.

Amazing "nice" attack on ovomit- (sesame street brings in $100s of millions a year). Romney is so right, big bird doesn't need to eat, and will be just fine- its Americans who are hurting. Romney/Ryan take it home- to the white house.

Only birther "experts"---who have not proved that they are really experts, and who certainly have not proved that they are fair and impartial say that there is anything wrong with the image of Obama's birth certificate.

The birther "experts" include Paul Irey, who has repeatedly claimed that Obama did not attend Columbia College, despite the fact that Columbia University has stated that Obama did attend (and that he graduated). And they include Doug Vogt, who claims to have found the original altar of Abraham. It is such "experts" as these that the birthers rely on for their case.

There are many real experts who say that there is nothing wrong with Obama's birth certificate, including John Woodman, who happens to be a member of the Tea Party and who dislikes Obama and Obama's policies, but shows that the birther "experts" are wrong. They also include Ivan Zatkovich, who was hired by WND to examine the image of Obama's birth certificate, and when he submitted his report that there was nothing wrong with Obama's birth certificate, WND simply did not publish it.

As for Sheriff Joe and his posse:

and

http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/07/indicting-the-sheriff-joe-and-the-cold-case-posse/

It is clear that rational conservatives do not believe the "birth certificate was forged" claims. Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck and the National Review certainly do not.

And the conservative secretary of state of Arizona asked Hawaii to confirm that Obama was born there and to confirm specified facts on Obama's birth certificate. Hawaii did, stating that it compared the image of Obama's birth certificate with the file copy (which is an additional confirmation that there was a file copy BTW) and that Obama was born there and that the facts match. The secretary of state of Arizona accepted this confirmation and ruled that Obama will be on the ballot in Arizona in November. This indicates that he does not believe the claims that the birth certificate is forged (including those of Sheriff Joe) and that he does believe the officials in Hawaii.

Snake? Romney is an American. Zero is not one of us. He's a Muslim Brotherhood Agent. He is not brilliant. He doesn't have college transcripts that reflect that, because with his pathological ego, he would have those plastered all over if he did.

The truth is, he is a bum. He is a street thug. He is Zero.

By the way, who is his real father? Did his mother know who his real father was?

Just a thought, has obama spoke of the killing of our Americans in benghazi lately or is he onto his next California, vacation, raising money benefit and is too busy trying to get re-elected to handle his job.

To add insult to injury, the WH has held no press briefings in the last 15 days (Drudge), but Obama also has time to appear on Nickelodeon.

Between Big Bird and Nickelodeon, Obama has devolved into the pre-school president.

Even the left wing bloggers and MSM are shelling Obama over the Big Bird Ad...DISASTER!!!! SOS!! Battleship Stupid! Big Bird highlights the fact that OBAMA has nothing to offer...nothing! With serious issues before our nation the Marxist uses an ad that touts a Million Dollar Bird??? How pathetic and foretelling....You see Mitt talking the Big Issues that matter and Obama is reduced to a Canary Yellow Imaginary Bird for Defense? And even Sesame Street has called out Obama to stop using Big Bird! The left is in meltdown over this because it is adding the narrative of Obama's Incompetence!!

Chuch Todd was almost crying begging Obama to get rid of the Ad....reminds people of his horrible debate performance!! Sorry Chuck....Obama is an abject failure...Big Bird just puts an Exclamation Point on it!

Oh but O had sent the memo to the MSM that it was time to attack Gov Romney over Big Bird. Maybe they can see that as the losing strategy that it is. Which explains why they didn't buy it. No one did. Except BO. Jeez he is really really not that smart.

Go Mitt Romney Go! Even though he wasn't our first choice to knock Obama out, we are rallying behind him 100%.

If Mitt Romney and congress don't behave themselves, then there will be a lot more knocking out in 2014 and 2016!

Maybe if Big Bird started talking about the fiasco in Libya, Obama and the White House would at least start talking about it. Maybe that's what it takes to get Obama engaged in a conversation about a really important topic. It takes Big Bird? God help us.

It could be that big bird is fat and squat at the bottom because that's where the Sesame street earnings are stashed - and I bet the annual net would blow your mind.

romney at least has a plan, many plans, he seems to have a grasp on foreign affairs, stands with Israel, he may not have been the leader I would have chosen, but he does have leadership skills, barry has NONE. nov 6th 2012 time to vote barry out.

I have to be candid and say that my initial assesment of Romney may have been wrong.

When Ann Coulter said Romney was "the most conservative candidate in the race" I did a triple take followed by a facepalm. She might have been on to something.

I'm jacked up about the next two debates. I want Obama to bring his A-Game. I want Liberalism exposed for 65 Million people again !!!! and again !!!!!! and again !!!!!

THAT'S how you change the nation. When you expose liberalism for what it is, you destroy it. Reagan and our parents did it for us in 1980. Now it's our turn to return the favor for our children.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "---Ronald Reagan

Its so obvious now, this guy gets it, the fraud in the White House doesnt. Same clown who went to Vegas fundraiser while our Ambassador was being dragged thru the streets of Benghazi, I can just see the phone ringing and ringing and ringing at an empty desk and chair in the Oval Office, clearly nobody home!

Oh no. O answered the phone with "you don't need extra security" and then went to a fundraiser in Vegas.

He's right, but the Obama campaign is trying to keep the focus away from the issues and push the image that Romney is a mean guy. A lot of libs think with their hearts, not with their brains.

Zing!

By the way, I was just listening to Rush Limbaugh, and he was talking about an article that was written by some newspaper in the U.K., where they are reporting that Obama actually thought he had won the debate as he was walking off stage last week. That's how clueless he is. He also talks about how much Obama really hates Romney. Maybe Scoop can link to that.

anotherworriedmom
anotherworriedmom

BO made the statements 2 years ago that he knew more about everything than his inner circle of advisors. So of course he assumed that since everyone else also knows this, all he had to do was show up, recite his talking points, be declared omnipotent by the MSM and he's done. Oops. Gov Romney was also there and apparently he didn't get the memo.

Has Big Bird been put on the endangered species list and is this why Obama is obsessed with him or is it a childhood dream to become Big Bird? Will we ever know? I hope not.

Obama is an absolute loser, steeped and marinated in the notion of his own perceived greatness. It will be his undoing. This Big Bird nonsense is the perfect illustration of the cards that are in the hand of these stupid Democrats. The sum total of what they have to run on....which is nothing.

AARP admonishes Obama about using them in his campaign, Kidd Rock and other entertainers disavow him and admit he's not "the One" and now even Big Bird tells him to take a hike. His base is receding faster than the shoreline before a tsunami strikes, which, by the way, will happen November 6.
