We have to remember that Obama doesn’t understand how the real world works, doesn’t understand business, doesn’t understand or care about the free market or capitalism, except as it gets in his way.
So, he doesn’t understand that Sesame street makes tons of money on merchandizing and licensing.
Which is clear, because Obama stole the Big Bird character for his ad, without asking permission or paying royalties — so how would he understand that Sesame Street is a business that normally gets paid for their product?
Obama only thinks that only him is the greatest and must know it all better than anyone else. He is like a bimbo who has whored any thought of hers towards her “greatness”. It’s all they see. In another world or time these people would be sitting in a mental hospital and thought of as extremely dangerous.
