President Obama's peeps say Mitt Romney is gonna be sorry for blowing off a bunch of kids who participated in the Nickelodeon show, "Kids Pick the President."
The premise of the show -- kids submit questions to each candidate and based on the answers they make their pick for leader of the free world.
Obama answered the kids' questions, but Romney said he didn't have the time.
Deputy National Press Secretary Adam Fetcher tells TMZ, "It's no surprise Romney decided to play hookey. Kids demand details, and I'm sure they want some answers on why Romney could increase their class sizes, eliminate their teacher's jobs, raise taxes on their families and slash funding for Big Bird."
Fetcher ends with this zinger: "'The dog ate my homework' just doesn't cut it when you're running for President."

(297,275 posts)This is Romney's own fault. Who told him it would be a good idea to threaten Big Bird on national tv with 67 Milliion Watching?

(41,984 posts)Remember, Grandpa Mitt goes first in the buffet line because he hates to wait for the little ones. He pushes the boys' faces into the butter. He holds babies like he's afraid they'll give him a disease.
And he wants to kill Big Bird.

(85,998 posts). . . got my first rock and roll record off of those pages. I ordered it for pennies and the square record with Tom Petty and the Byrds singing, 'So you want to be a rock-and-roll star?' came pressed between the newspaper pages.
good question.

(338 posts)Romney doesn't have time to respond to Big Bird, Ryan doesn't have time to lay out the details of his "deficit reduction plan." What time do these two characters have? Surely, no time to be straight with the voters.
