Big Bird disputes whether Obama was born in the U.S....
Hulu.com ^

Posted on 10/01/2009 6:14:55 PM PDT by MelSmith

Big Bird astutely asks Michelle Obama: “Are you absolutely sure that he wasn’t born in Kenya?”

Hulu.com

From the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien

Of course, that is probably the only coverage that the state-managed media will give to that story!

For those of you who didn’t realize it, that faux Sesame Street send up was from an actual live broadcast from the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. It was the episode which aired Wednesday, September 30 2009.

The full episode can be viewed from this link: Sling.com

The “Big Bird” bit takes place during Conan’s opening monologue (2:50 into the show)

I agree, and yet I still find it funny to hear Big Bird ask about Obama’s birth certificate and to hear a vegetable call him a “stinkin’ liar”.

I’ve heard from several sources that this skit was designed to be a spoof on conservatives, but the script seems to actually incriminate Michelle (?).

Especially with the children cheering after the announcement to “run him outta office” makes NO SENSE if their motive was to ridicule RIGHT wingers ! ?

Are you sure this was recorded LIVE ? I would be surprised that Michelle would agree to that, but maybe she did.

If this really was recorded LIVE, and it backfired, then Conan would be subject to reprimand from NBC. I wouldn’t be surprised if George Soros owns stock in NBC. Seems he has his finger in every corrupt pie involving his little pigeon boy-toy !

P.S. Red Steel, I am curious what your take is on this skit ?

Thx. r55

If this was “live”, it would explain a lot of things.

Couldn’t be a spoof on conservatives ?

Some of you are obviously unfamiliar with late night humor shows: most people recognize that the statements made by "Big Bird" were dubbed in by the "Tonight Show" folks in order to produce a humorous segment. (In other words, they altered the original Sesame Street video in order to create the comedy.)

========

And, as always, there are a few of you who cannot tolerate seeing your Marxist Messiah questioned, especially with respect to his birth certificate fraud. Perhaps this skit was intended as a satire of conservatives, yet oddly I was not able to find any mention of it in the liberal media or websites. Why is that? Why aren't they celebrating this witty assault on conservatives? Will Bill Maher play this on his show tonight? No, the Obama idolizers go to great pains to protect their delusions. Well, the good news is that more and more people are detecting what a complete fraud and incompetent executive that Obama is, especially after he was bitch-slapped today by the Olympic Committee.

The story of Obama's birth certificate fraud is not going away. The Narcissist in Chief will be exposed for being the empty suit Chicago politician that he is.

Ok...Thx for the clarification.

I sent this to several friends and NO ONE (including myself) was aware of this.

Now we can watch it with the correct understanding of how it was made.

Thx so much !

I just watched the Bird and MO. It was a prepared skit to make light of the birth certificate issue. You and I are part of the "basket bunch"

Well Michelle, your husband can show that Hawaiian COLB of his in court to prove us wrong.

Yes, that makes sense that the words were dubbed-in. I Shoulda known.

RS, I will forward you the reply I rec’d from Mel Smith who described HOW this video was made. Most people assume that Michelle participated in the dialogue, but the Tonight Show Staff actually took a prior Sesame Street skit and inputted new words for Big Bird and the little veggies...(Michelle’s words are from the original skit). It’s actually quite ingenious and after considering how the dialogue played out, it turned out to be incriminating for Michelle and Barry ! When I re-played it again with that understanding, it appears like a “birther” was in charge !

Here is Mel Smith’s reply to my comment:

Yeah, I agree the words were dubbed after MelSmith pointed that out. I should have listened to the little bug by my ear that said something was off about it. How Michelle would take part in something like this that brings up an issue and played out on Seseme Street, which they want to see buried 100 miles underground?

LoL! Unintended consequences rears its head. The thing hits too close to home for the loons. :-)
