The most devastating ad Obama can run [View all]

Show someone dressed in a Big Bird suit walking down the street with head hung low.

"He taught your kids to read. He taught them numbers. He taught them social skills. He's been on the job so long he probably taught your mom too. Maybe your grandma."

Then show Big Bird turning and walking into an unemployment office, where he joins a line that snakes round and round...

"Mitt Romney wants to fire him to pay for a $5 billion tax cut for millionaires."

Cut to a pic of the president."I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message."
