The Campaign is Over Thread #2 For 10/16/12: Why Does He Hate Kids So Much

 

This man really is so elitist weird:
 President Barack Obama wooed Americans not yet old enough to vote Monday in a unique children’s television news special that his rival Mitt Romney opted to avoid.
 Obama fielded pre-recorded questions from under-18s on topics as varied as the economy, gun control, gay marriage and heartbreak during the half-hour program titled  “Kids Pick the President: The Candidates.”
Television news veteran Linda Ellerbee, who hosted the show on the Nickelodeon children’s     channel, told viewers that Romney had been asked since April to participate in the show.
But his team replied they were “unable to fit it in” to his schedule — leaving producers to put together a mash-up of Romney sound bites from the campaign trail in the interest of equal time.
“I don’t know if it’s a bad thing for the Romney campaign (not to participate), but it is a bad thing for the Nickelodeon audience,” Ellerbee told AFP a few hours before Monday’s broadcast.

I thought after I first heard of it from Rayfield that they would have common sense and actually do this for the kids. But nope, that did not happen at all.

He wants to cut PBS, and he snubs Nick.

I just can't wait until Mitt Romney says something negative about Disney.
