First the production company behind Sesame Street wanted President Obama’s campaign to take down the ad they put out Tuesday using Big Bird to slam Mitt Romney’s plan to cut PBS federal funding. Now The Daily Show With Jon Stewart has gone after the incumbent for “using a cartoonish child-like figure to invigorate your campaign” and a certain Will.i.am remix. Watch the video:

As a liberal: this has got to be the worst democratic campaign ad ever created. I keep asking myself – is that even real? Is it a hoax? Did someone from THE ONION secretly join team Obama?
I was thinking the same thing… it looks like an SNL skit, not a campaign ad.
The Obama campaign should’ve left the Big Bird talk to the meme crowd.
Jon Stewart has been using big bird for the past few episodes as well
Oh how the lowly have fallen. Obama better hope gaffe-boy does a good job tonight, or it’s all over.
Focusing on Big Bird when there are so many other pressing issues is just totally ridiculous. We are dealing with a recession, a lack of jobs, a crumbling deficit, Iran months away from having a nuclear weapon, and the middle east on fire. This commercial is embarrassing to me.
