Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki says the campaign was tapping into a "grassroots outcry" when it put together an ad attacking Mitt Romney for wanting to de-fund Big Bird.

My children watched Sesame Street when it was still pretty good, but the advent of Elmo dumbed it down so much it was pathetic.

My children did learn from Sesame Street. It was the only thing they were allowed to watch as toddlers, and three of them knew their letters and numbers by sight before they were 2.

I saw this Psaki creature after the debate. She’s one delusional, nasty piece of work.

Jen is becoming a very accomplished liar working for Obama!

The Big Bird ad is definitely Obama camp.

Seriously, it's for the Daily Show, right? Or SNL?

Romney did not “attack” Big Bird. Big Bird is under no threat. Given that the Sesame Street workshop president candidly has stated on the record that their program would easily survive without any funding from the taxpayers, this entire narrative is just another Democrat lie.

When you look at the Sesame Street illustrator, you know it’s the Zionists controlling all this stuff.
