Funny Political Ad

The candidates make many TV commercials as part of running for President.  They want to give you reasons to vote for them and give you reasons not to vote for the other person.  Sometimes the ads are sweet and emotional, sometimes they are angry and they say harsh things about the other candidate.  

Here is a commercial that uses humor.  At the first Presidential debate, Governor Romney said if he was President he would cut funding to PBS.  

PBS is a TV station that does not have commercials so they get money to make programs from the US Government and from private donations.  

There is a popular Children's show on PBS called Sesame Street and one of the main characters is a big yellow bird called Big Bird.

President Obama's campaign used that idea to create this funny video.    


What do you think about this commercial?
