President Obama Mocks Romney for "Getting Tough on Big Bird," Warns Elmo to "Make a Run for It."
President Obama Mocks Romney for "Getting Tough on Big Bird," Warns Elmo to "Make a Run for It."
by TomP
President Obama has got his mojo back. It started yesterday and he's gaining more by the day. No doubt the unemployment numbers helped today, but I think President Obama just bounces back from adversity. He's a fighter. It may not have been his best debating performance this week. Yes, he was rusty and perhaps thrown off by Romney's bald-face lying. But I would not bet against this man. President Obama has overcome far more than a mediocre debate performance in his life. He's a winner.
Today he's treating Romney with the disdain that Mitt deserves, ridiculing Romney's war on Sesame Street.

When (Romney) was asked how he’d actually cut spending and reduce the deficit, he said he’d go after funding for public television.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: So for all you moms and kids out there, don’t worry, somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird. (Laughter.) Elmo, you better make a run for it. (Laughter.) Governor Romney is going to let Wall Street run wild again, but he’s going to bring the hammer down on “Sesame Street.”
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: You want me to save Big Bird? (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Save Big Bird! Save Big Bird! Save Big Bird!

He thought he made a clever joke about Big Bird. Now, Big Bird is biting him on the ass and won't let go.
Unexpected consequences.
Sorry, Willard. Another fuck-up, another day...

Poor Elmo.
Just ignore the mean man, Elmo. He's just a big ol' sack of tired fuck, honey.
