7:09Now PlayingSesame Street's Big Bird has become a big deal, thanks to Mitt Romney's mention at the October 3rd presidential debate and a new ad from the Obama camp. But does it deserve to be? Cenk breaks down why there are much bigger things we should be concerned about.
"The Obama campaign's new ad ruffles my feathers.
It's not the message per se. The Big Bird spot fairly points out that Mitt Romney seems more interested in cracking down on "Sesame Street" than on Wall Street. The problem is President Obama has, to mix animal metaphors, taken the bait — and he's pursuing a red herring.
Big Bird is not the problem. The problem is Snuffleupagus.
The threat presented by Romney's budget is not in the few cuts he has specified but in the vastly larger amount of unseen cuts he has yet to identify." *
