Folks I didn't believe it when I heard it but the proof is in the video below. I'd like to offer a big sarcastic "thank you" to the executives at The Children's Television Workshop for ruining one of the fondest memories of my childhood.
Sesame Street trashed FOX News for its young audience using their adorable muppets?

It was funny when Conan O’Brien used a Sesame Street clip for the purposes of political humor because it was Conan O’Brien who was doing it and it was on at midnight, for adults. Now we see Sesame Street using itself to push a political agenda. With five year olds. Pathetic.
“Obama says everyone needs
Health coverage in America now.
We need to insure those 47 million
But the government doesn’t know how.”
The children in this video are completely innocent and frankly, their performance is awesome!
The point is that they are being used for blatant political purposes.
If these children, or any children, appeared on a “news” network to sing about the agenda of George W. Bush or even Bill Clinton, it would have been rightly treated by the media as an outrageous scandal. Welcome to the age of “change.”
The left will no doubt find this to be the most sexist thing they've ever heard, despite the fact that it's coming from a woman and despite their relentless sexist attacks on Sarah Palin.

Note to Progressive Readers: Before you leave an indignant comment, see this.
Can you imagine the uproar that would have followed in San Francisco or New York if the public schools had required students to read George W. Bush's book "A Charge to Keep?"
Students in Hingham, MA were initially told that President Obama’s memoir, “Dreams From My Father” was required summer reading. After some parents protested, the school administrators changed the rule but never made it public.
“President Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” is creating a nightmare for 1,099 Hingham High students cramming to wrap up their “required” summer read – a book, it turns out, they didn’t have to read in the first place.”
“With school opening Tuesday, the Herald has learned teens whose offended parents complained were allowed by Principal Paula Girouard McCann and Helaine Silva, head of the Hingham Public Schools English Department, to pick any other memoir – an option they never publicized.”
“Lynne Powell-Pinto, chairwoman of the Hingham Republican Town Committee, has a son entering 11th grade.”
“Obama, she noted, “is a current political figure. He’s an important historical figure, no quibbles about that. But the goal of the community read is to bring people together. I just think they could have made a less divisive choice.”

What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President asking me to do?
The Dear Leader is scheduled to make a “special address” directly to America’s children on September 8th. Drudge Reportposted a document today that suggests “activities” for teachers before/during/after the Dear Leader’s address.
As noted by Michelle Malkin, the “activities” have a rather “activist” slant to them…
During the Speech:
As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.
After the Speech:
Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.
Students could discuss their responses to the following questions:
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
“Why have my Mommy and Daddy started talking about home-schooling me this year?”
St. Louis Radio Talker Dana Loesch has suggested September 8th might be a good day to keep your kids home…
“Take a day of vacation. Go to the zoo. Anything that would save your offspring from what I will bluntly say is just the quasi-fellating the executive branch. That cackling over a bubbling cauldron you hear is the NEA rejoicing.”
“There is this mindset that those in Washington are the “elite,” that we should mind our Ps and Qs and blindly follow their directives. That’s not the manner of governance upon which this country was founded – it is quite the opposite; even the hobbyist Constitutional aficionado appreciates this.”
Of course, all of this reminds me of a really funny/creepy video put out last year by Iowahawk.
