Occupy Wall Street, build businesses on Main Street, but leave Sesame Street alone. From The Hill's "Blog Briefing Room": Sesame Street asks Obama campaign to take down attack ad featuring Big Bird

Sesame Street has asked President Obama's campaign to take down its latest attack ad against Mitt Romney, which features footage of Big Bird.



"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," a Tuesday statement on Sesameworkshop.org reads. "We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down."
