Big Bird steals some spotlight as Speaker Boehner blasts Obama in Derry visit

DERRY – U.S. House Speaker John Boehner vowed Monday that top Democrat Nancy Pelosi will be unable to grab the gavel from his “stone, cold hands” in the Nov. 6 election.

That’s yet to be seen, but a certain yellow, feathered Sesame Street character managed to steal some of the spotlight from the top congressional GOP leader’s visit to the Mitt Romney campaign headquarters in Derry.

Outside, the Barack Obama re- election team had convinced a volunteer to don a Big Bird outfit straight from a Boston costume store to mock Romney for declaring he would end federal support for public television.

The volunteer held a sign that read, “Romney-Boehner. Tough on Sesame Street; Soft on Wall Street.”

Boehner came to New Hampshire for a brief visit that included a public rally with 1st District congressman Frank Guinta, R-N.H.
