The campaign this year has brought some very interesting faces to the mix, one of which is Big Bird himself, according to kwwl.com. Mitt Romney even promised to bring Big Bird to his recent visit to Iowa City.
Big Bird has recently been mentioned quite a bit in this year's presidential campaign and has gained a lot of fame as a result.
It all started with Barack Obama's campaign ad condemning Mitt Romney and showing the icon for "Sesame Street." The ad was referring to Romney's plan to cut funds for public broadcasting.
Of course, the creators of the popular children's show had no part in the spot, demanding the Obama campaign no longer air the ad, and Romney himself even dismissed the ad, but ti still brought Big Bird into quite a light.
Romney himself mentioned Big Bird in his campaign discussions last week, stating, "I love Big Bird." He has also promised to bring Big Bird to one of his Iowa City visits.
Ironically, his recent praise of PBS and Big Bird goes against his vow to de-fund public broadcasting, which was the source of the ad created by President Obama in the first place.
This was something that nobody failed to notice, either. Both sides of the debate commented frequently with references to Big Bird.
Big Bird himself has made appearances and commented on his recently acquired fame due to the campaign. He appeared on "Saturday Night Live."
Iowa is still a very important state in both campaigns as of yet, so both presidential candidates are still spending a lot of their time in Iowa City in hopes of winning the state's electoral votes.
The "Sesame Street" debate has allowed Obama to gain some ground on a very comical level after the backlash for his debate performance as he makes cracks about Mitt Romney's war on "Sesame Street."
Regardless of whether Romney feels that the Big Bird portion of the debate is irrelevant may not matter, as Big Bird is becoming the central figure of recognition in the tough debates about federal spending.
