Robert Gibbs: Mitt Romney Has 'Taken the Battle Straight to Sesame Street' By George Stephanopoulos | ABC OTUS News – 58 mins ago
Senior Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs slammed Mitt Romney's "theatrical" presidential debate performance this morning on "This Week" for what he said was the GOP presidential nominee's lack of detail, calling his performance "dishonest" and saying the only thing Romney would cut from the federal budget is "Big Bird."
"The underpinnings and foundation of that performance were fundamentally dishonest," said Gibbs, an Obama campaign senior adviser. "Look, the only thing he outlined that he would cut in the budget is Big Bird. He's taken the battle straight to Sesame Street and let Wall Street run hog wild."
I spoke to Romney campaign senior adviser Ed Gillespie after my interview with Gibbs and he accused the Obama campaign of acting like a child that just lost a checker game. He also defended Romney for citing that he would cut PBS funding during the debate.
"The Obama campaign, they remind me a little bit of a 7-year-old losing a checker game, and then instead of being frustrated at the outcome, they sweep the board off the table," Gillespie said. "Big Bird, I can tell you, as the father of three children, grown now, but any father who has gone to a toy store knows that Big Bird is a pretty commercially successful entity. "

They still had control of most of the media narrative back when the class of’94 tried to defund CPB.
Oh noooooo. Guess my 3 year old grandaughter won’t vote for Romney. But, her mom and dad will.
Robert Gibbs wants America living on the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. If we allow America to go down the tubes into Marxist Socialism, there will be more lost than just Big Bird.
Fantastic line of attack, Gibbs! Next debate you should send Obama out in a Big Bird costume to further underscore this atrocity and to show support for the bird. Perhaps the dancing vaginas could be back-up and do amazing things on hard wood?
Robert Gibbs - Big Dork
Robert Gibbs said this morning that an actor showed up to the debate. He said Mitt Romney did everything but tap dance. “That was not the real Mitt Romney.”
Translation: Are you going to believe what we tell you about Mitt Romney or your own lying eyes?
This is how you know Obama lost the debate and BADLY..this is all they got, bringing up Big Bird..hey maybe Big Bird will be taken care of more than our Ambassador and Navy seals in Libya, if only they had the same kind of protection big bird is getting they would be alive right now
Don’t forget those vital, federally funded Cowboy Poetry events!
My grandson hasn’t had the least bit interest in Big Bird any more than I did in any red headed manaquin from the 50’s. He can’t stand Barney either. Sesame Street is OVER.
Our son was reading at the 3 grade level when he went to kindergarten.
We read to him a lot and he eventually read to us.
He also watched sesame street a lot. Don’t know which had a higher percentage of influence, but I never thought the rote learning on sesame street was doing any harm.
This was late 60s and early 70s. Don’t know how PC they are now.
Yes, I support no tax funding for PBS or NPR or arts for that matter.
I think most Americans are a tad upset about the deficit. But Romney would get more traction if he was talking about the massive shake down of the US Treasury that is corporate welfare and foreign jihadist aid. Why are we building Mosques around the world? Obammy tossing 90 billion to his corporate pals in “alternative energy” is called “corporate welfare.” Americans know that term and hate it. They hate foreign aid too.
“accuse others of what you are doing yourself”
Obama’s people do this on a daily basis; it has become almost laughable, if it were funny. - It’s how they get by with the horrible stuff they do; because people tend to think, “They’re condemning this sort of stuff; no way they’d be guilty of the same thing!” - People tend to think everybody is like they are, generally honest and decent. These people seem to think they’ll never have to answer for a thing they’ve done.
In DummycRAT speak, isn't that more accurate? Just asking. ; )
