The Big Bird ad stays.
Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said Wednesday he didn't know of any plans to take down the controversial ad featuring the famous feathery star, despite a request by Sesame Workshop.
Gibbs made the comment on NBC's "Today" show, a day after campaign officials said they were reviewing Sesame Workshop's appeal.
The satirical TV ad featured a menacing voiceover warning of Mitt Romney's anti-Big Bird agenda, playing off the Republican nominee's debate claim that he wants to cut funding to PBS.
"Big, yellow, a menace to our economy. Mitt Romney knows it's not Wall Street you have to worry about, it's Sesame Street," the voiceover says. "Mitt Romney, taking on our enemies no matter where they nest."

IOW, their attorneys are checking to see if they legally have to comply.
It will be a glorious Thanksgiving this year.
The chosen one will be un-chosen.

Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Maybe Obama and his White House advisers think Big Bird is Turkey.
The whole bigbird thing is pathetic and like others say-it will send more romney’s way
Well I can only assume that this brilliant strategy originated with Obama himself, and he got the idea from his brilliant debate victory...
Maybe O’s team can cut a deal and offer Big Bird a high-ranking cabinet position if they win.
"Wow, Mr. President! You're almost as smart as Biiiiird!"
“What’s a copyright infringement lawsuit to THE MESSIAh and his worshipping sycophants?? It’s not like the laws of us mere mortals apply to them, anyway.”
PBS is a gov’t operation. This is a political, non-profit ad, I don’t know if they really can complain.
But the rest of your post could be the case, too...
Obama is appealing to the mental age of his supporters. He’s also looking to corner the preschool/kindergarten vote.
Romney throws 4 years of epic failure as a president in Obama’s face.
DemocRats counter by throwing Big Bird in Romney’s face. They are desperate...
Maybe that's the plan all along. Another way for sesame street to still make big bucks when obama looses the election. Even if Pres Romney cuts their funds, they'll still be "funded" through a lawsuit.
