From the Obama camp today:
From the Heritage Foundation:
How can anyone take this campaign seriously when the Obama camp is making jokes about Big Bird? It shows the breathtaking disdain with which Obama takes the American public, and an incredible insult to the electorate.
The GOP released this campaign count graphic to further show how pathetic the Obama campaign is:
UPDATE!
Via Michelle Fields, Sesame Street has asked that the video be taken down… great job Obama team!
Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and 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.
And Obama team is considering the request from Sesame Street… just incredible:
Obama spox says they have received Sesame Street's complaint and will be reviewing their concerns.

This is what they’re spending their time on while his foreign policy failures pile up…
UPDATE!
THE BIG BIRD AD STAYS!! The Obama team will tyrannically use the image of Big Bird despite Sesame Street demanding otherwise!
Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said Wednesday he didn’t know of any plans to take down the controversial ad featuring the famous feathery star, despite a request by Sesame Workshop.
I guess Big Bird is finding out what happens when you accept government money – you accept government control too!
What’s incredible is that they’re being embarrassed and mocked for this ad on every side, and still they keep it running? Is this another delusional Obama moment, like his thinking he won the first debate?AMP If so, his staffers must be going crazy under some the headlines and criticism….
Hey "Communications Director" @woodhouseb did you produce this idiotic and pathetic mockery of an election ad? http://t.co/ACsM1qxW #p2
