Obama’s crew keeps referring to Mitt Romney as “dishonest”; it’s laughable since Obama has fibbed, and fibbed, and fibbed, and yakked, and yakked, and yakked; I guess hoping we’d forget what he told last if he just kept telepromptering.

8 million and some change last year. Would have been higher except they spent 5 million on fund raising...

The Democrats love PBS because it is a taxpayer-funded propaganda machine for them. PBS should have been defunded decades ago.

Looks like the Muppets made more money on the movie curcuilt that they ever did on PBS.
Check this out folks.
Robert Gibbs ? how do you explain this then ?
The Muppet Movie - $65,200,000
The Great Muppet Caper - $31,206,251
The Muppets Take Manhattan - $25,534,703
The Muppet Christmas Carol - $27,281,507
Muppet Treasure Island - $34,327,391
Muppets from Space - $16,625,807
$ 196 Million ... not a bad take in profit for the Muppets Movies....
And that's not counting all the DVD sales.
One can say that the Muppets have raked in $ 1 Billion in sales from the movies, DVDs, toys, cloths, marketing.

it’s everywhere...Romney wants to kill BBird. I say its time he paid taxes. he is plenty old enough and has bilked the nation out of millions.’

Correction : “ Looks like the Muppets made more money on the movie circuit than they ever did on PBS. “
To: FlingWingFlyer
In fairness, Mitt put this issue on the table himself this time.
But it was a good line and good politics this time around I think.
Sesame Street just doesn’t have the name recognition or influence it had 20-30 years ago. It has been completely replaced by the new and/or recent characters on the cable channels like Dora, Calliou, Wiggles, Hannah Montana, etc.
Children and mothers just don’t follow Big Bird anymore now that he has to compete in the marketplace.
To: FlingWingFlyer
Wonder what kind of interest we pay to China on Big Bird’s subsidy. Anyone knows that you have to add the interest to the cost to know what you’re actually paying.
Add the interest to the subsidy, any subsidy, and you get the real cost of these programs.

a 20 year study released a few years ago proved there was no advantage to kids who watched the PBS show..by 3 rd grade the kids are all equal..it may cause damage since a recent study says even back ground noise from tv can damage cognitive skills.

They are getting away with such dishonesty here.
Obama wants the rich to pay their “fair share” (meaning enough of their money to stop them from expanding and hiring and maybe even sapping their will a la Atlas Shrugged) AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE MIDDLE CLASS SHOULD BE GIVING MONEY TO BIG BIRD. Sesame Street makes billions from movie and merchandising. To use Sesame Street as something we can’t cut from funding is preposterous. They don’t need the welfare they get.
