BIG BIRD IN POLITICS!

Worry about Wall St Sesame Street.

Last night, in the first presidential debate, moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS asked "how would you tackle the deficit problem?". Mitt Romney after talking about eliminating obamacare said this "I'm sorry, Jim. I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things. I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actually like you too. But I'm not going to — I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it".

Like many out there, me too loved Sesame Street in my childhood days. Still enjoying along with my toddler son. PBS and Sesame Street are partners for 43 years. But none of the money donated to PBS goes to Sesame Street. While Sesame workshop by itself earns millions from selling toys and books. Therefore, Mitt Romney's mention on Big Bird during his Presidential debate sounds irrelevant.

Save Big Bird! Vote Democratic!
