Lets keep in prespective Jim Lehrer asked Romney for specific cuts. Romney responded with PBS which is one cut only. THe idiots on Obama's PR team are working their rear ends off to make it seem like Romney is a monster that hates Seasame Street, Big Bird, Unicorns, Pixie Dust and Puppy Dog Farts. People got a taste for Mitt Romney in the first debate and they liked it...the polls reflect it. And what is the democrats only recourse? To claim that Mitt is lying about everything. Politifact states to the contrary. Both parties in the debate spun a hundred "half truths." The American public can hopefully now see past all the smoke and mirrors this pathetic excuse for an adminstration is throwing at them. This ad is definitive proof this administration is petty. If these pricks put out an ad claiming that Ann Romney contracted MS just to help Mitt's election chances I wouldn't be shocked in the slighest.

Wow! As pathetic as Mitt Romney is, apparently Obama is even more pathetic. Maybe Bird Bird can find a job working Obama's foreign policy. He may do a better job and still receive funding. Of course, Big Bird is the poster child of the Democratic Party of mooches: He is the face of a billion dollar industry that whines when he doesn't get public funding.

You speak for "most people" now or do you have something creditable to back that up?

If you want to talk about looking pathetic and desperate you should mention Romney's refusual to answer questions for the kids on Nickelodeon Special Election Addition. Why is he breaking that long standing tradition for politicians?

No--desperation is when you propose making massive cuts to balance the budget, but the only one you can specifically list is a program that amounts to about 1/100th of 1% of the federal budget. THAT'S why they're going after Romney on Big Bird--because it's ridiculous. The entire Romney campaign has run like that--he says he can do better but he offers zero specifics and changes his tune on even the DIRECTION he wants to move every time he talks--half the time his staff have to come back to let us know that Mitt really didn't mean what he was saying. We're supposed to "trust" him because he supposedly has all of this wonderful business experience (that he also refuses to release details on). Nothing about the guy adds up--he'll say anything to win.

Does he think we're stupid?

Youre such a goof. Let's see, answer questions from adults on serious issues, or children. We know who Obama picks thats for sure. Nickelodeon, Entertainment shows, women mags, radio shows, etc.

Why is Obama breaking the long standing tradition of protecting our Ambassadors? Oh, yeah, we dont have time to talk about that. We have to talk about the billion dollar puppets.

You liberals are absolute hacks. There is no way you believe the garbage you spew, or at least I hope not.

Since Big Bird is such a crucial element of soceity, he should have no problem surviving. Romney should run a counter ad pointing out that Obama doesn't think a product, even one that's so popular, can survive without the government.

Now if this doesn't demonstrate the extreme depravity of the Left, I don't know what does. Mitt didn't say "Turn off PBS". He said cut taxpayer funding of PBS!

Yep. And as usual, they do not want to focus on issues that matter. Anything to change the narrative. They avoid Libya, Green jobs, the economy, jobs, etc etc etc

Why WON'T he go on the Nick show? He's gutless, and nothing WW said was stupid. The only specific he could pull out of his backside on the cutting budget was, again, PBS, which amounts to about 1/100th of 1% of the budget, and he isn't willing to defend THAT to a bunch of little kids. He's pathetic.
