PICKET: Banking crooks in Obama Big Bird ad all indicted by Bush DOJ
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, October 9, 2012 | Kerry Picket

The Obama campaign is running a television ad showing three convicted Wall Street bankers who are supposed to represent the greed of Republican party, because Presidential nominee Mitt Romney wants to cut the subsidy that goes towards the Public Broadcasting Service, which airs the children's television program "Sesame Street.

However, all the bankers mentioned in the ad:Ken Lay, Dennis Kozlowski, and Bernie Madoff were all at least indicted and or prosecuted for their crimes by the George W. Bush Justice Department:

Facts are stubborn things. I want Paul Ryan to use that phrase this week in his Close Encounters of the Biden Kind.

The big Bird spot is actually a humorous ad. Not worthy of a President but funny nevertheless.

If I were Zippy, I’d sue my campaign manager and anyone else responsible for this ad.

It loses on so many levels! The tone. The content. The reaction it elicits from viewers.

Pure comedy gold.

While John Corzine remains blissfully un-indicted by the Obama Administration. Make sure to mention that part. :)

Bigbird is doing fine. The CEO of Sesame Street makes close to a million per year. Sesame Street toys line the shelves of Toys R Us. If the president can’t even cut Big Bird from welfare, what will he be able to cut? Absolutely Nothing...

Bush - 1,300 convictions;

Clinton - 1,000 convictions;

Obama - Zero attempts.

Which begs the question on how many Wall Streeters the Obama administration prosecuted? Isn’t he the one who’s always complaining about them?

This idiot, our pResident, is such an egomaniac that he cannot avoid surrounding himself with utter incompetence - they’re the only ones who worship him and are unwilling to advise him as to the level of his incompetence. Affirmative action and ignorance - this is the epitome.

Obama’s mentioned Big Bird dozens of times in campaign appearances..they’re running ads featuring the big yellow bird all over the place, but Obama, to my knowledge, has not said, not been asked, if he would repeal the PBS subsidy , or not..

You mean that ZERO didn't have anything to do with them being JAILED??

Big Bird has a comment for Zero: 'DROP DEAD and STFU, MORON!'

Carol Spivey (aka Big Bird) is nice I'm not sure of his political views, but he is a nice guy!! (met him many times camping!)
