"What stuck out most for me was the Big Bird statement. For me it summarized what I don't like about the Republican challenger. He doesn't get what's important to the average US person. Funding for Big Bird by the gov't is miniscule and the stats are there to show the positive effect of Sesame Street on early and later education. But he would keep tax breaks (aka corporation welfare) to oil companies.

But what made me laugh is the goal comparison of first time candidate Obama vs first time Romney. It shows how far we have come.

Obama 2008: I will get Bin Laden
Romney 2012: I will get Big Bird"


I've read a lot about bin laden vs Big Bird..but, never illustrated quite well as in your post. Then Senator Obama did say he would get bin laden..and sure Enough at the debate mittLies said he would Get Big Bird Goon!
