According to the WSJ …
Big Bird isn’t thrilled about his cameo in the presidential race.
The folks at Sesame Street are asking the Obama campaign to pull down its TV ad that mocks Mitt Romney for vowing to yank the subsidy to PBS.
At the presidential debate in Denver last week, Mr. Romney said he would end the subsidy in view of the nation’s fiscal troubles.
Team O’s retort: “Mitt Romney knows it’s not Wall Street you have to worry about, it’s Sesame Street.”
Sesame Street isn’t amused.
Sesame Workshop, a nonprofit educational organization, told Team O: “we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.”
An Obama campaign spokesman said the campaign is “reviewing their concerns”
You know you’ve had a bad week when Big Bird doesn’t want to be associated with you … even when you vow to keep shoveling dough at him.
