Romney refuses to face kids on Nickelodeon after vow to defund Big Bird
After recently promising to end funding for beloved Sesame Street character Big Bird, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is now refusing to take questions from children on a Nickelodeon special, Kids Pick the President: The Candidates.
Although both then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) appeared on the special in 2008, only Obama has agreed to participate this year, the network said on Monday.
“By answering kids’ questions directly, candidates show respect for kids,” host Linda Ellerbee said. “We are disappointed that Mitt Romney wouldn’t take the time to answer the questions, but are thrilled that President Obama participated in the special.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/10/08/romney-refuses-to-face-kids-on-nickelodeon-after-vow-to-defund-big-bird/

Honestly, this is just one more advantage for the President. People like a guy who can reach out to kids.........
