Watch this......you know the moment a campaign falls into ridicule of itself and you can't take them seriously ever again. Journo's falling over laughing this morning, calling it the "jump the shark moment"

About the most stupid ad I ever saw. It doesn’t mention Obama’s friends, Bill Ayres, Tony Rezco, George Soros, Jeremiah Wright, the Black Panthers ,Hugo Chavez etc, etc, etc.

No mention of criminal Jon Corzine... the ad looks like a SNL spoof

Corzine is a lib. They left him out on purpose.

Big Bird may have earned more money than all of the ‘99%’. Somebody ought to figure out how much in Royalties he owes the US taxpayers for the free venue.

I don't know that it is "official", but it was definitely uploaded by the Obama campaign. It's attributed to the same YouTube username as the rest of the campaign videos.

I suspect it was meant as a spoof, and available only to the people that are in on the joke. But, if the URL goes viral, the only people that are going to consider it serious are the moonbats. Everyone else is just going to think it's lame.

Thanks for posting this. I just saw that Jonah Goldberg tweeted about this, but I don’t really get twitter so I didn’t know how to see it from there.

It is.....really stupid.

My 26 year old did tell me that this was all her lib friends were talking about after the debate, so I can see them wanting to maybe goof on Romney for it, a little bit.

But this is just, um, really stupid.

Dragging in all those Wall Street crooks (and yeah, where is my former Gov. Jon Corzine?) just doesn’t make any sense at all. And if anyone has given TAXPAYER money to corporate crooks, it’s certainly been Barack “Solyndra” Obama, not, you know Mitt Romney or even Boogeyman Bush.

This is probably the stupidest political ad I’ve ever seen.

I hope they it on national TV.

Though I don’t agree with the thought processes behind it, it is a funny ad.

Let them laugh while they can.

Oh, it’s an official ad according to Morning Joe.

I think it has to be official. If not, with that intro by Obama, youtube will take it down soon.

Ridicule is a great weapon, but this is just childish and is neither clever or funny.

Waiting for CPB and the Children's Television Workshop to insist that Obama stop using Sesame Street in partisan ads.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Big Bird is a billionaire who understands capitalism better than Obama.

When I’ve watched Seasame Street with my kids, before we turned it off, I saw a lot of trusts like the Pew Charitable Trust and, I think, Rockefeller. It is funded by a lot of charities. If the 10% from taxpayers was cut, they could cut expenses, get more donations from these behemoth trusts, or license a few more toys and household items. The show won’t go off the air.

high ridicule and side splitting laughter, Obama’s campaign officially just did jump that shark.
