Obama: 'If I've Lost Big Bird, I've Lost Middle America'

Obama has taken a real beating in the polls recently.  His deficits have shocked many Americans; his health care is unpopular; his diplomatic position with Iran is regarded as weak; and he is taking a real beating for not reaching a decision on the strategy for Afghanistan and the Pentagon’s demand for more troops.

It was bad enough to be in trouble on Wall Street and Main Street.  But Sesame Street?

The White House was stunned when Michelle Obama appeared on traditionally Democrat-friendly PBS program Sesame Street to this dramatic confrontation with a clearly enraged Big Bird:

A grim-faced Barack Obama was overheard telling chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, “If I’ve lost Big Bird, I’ve lost Middle America.”
