Obama Finds More Time For Frivolous Vanity Pieces – Romney Declines Invitation
Netanyahu? No
Nickelodeon? Yes
I guess he’s returning the Jason Biggs favor.
The Republican presidential candidate declined an invitation from the children’s network to participate in its special “Kids Pick the President: The Candidates.” According to a release from Nickelodeon, Romney’s camp said he was unable to fit the taping into his schedule after multiple attempts from the network.
President Barack Obama sat down for a taping in the White House, where he answered questions regarding gun control, jobs, immigration, same-sex marriage, outsourcing, bullying and obesity, as well as light-hearted questions including his most embarrassing moment. (“Running into the wall is par for the course for me,” he says. “I’m running into doors and desks all the time.”)
Romney still will be featured in the special, with producers selecting previously taped clips from the campaign trail in which Romney addresses various issues raised in the kids’ questions.
“By answering kids’ questions directly, candidates show respect for kids,” says Linda Ellerbee in a statement. “We are disappointed that Mitt Romney wouldn’t take the time to answer the questions but are thrilled that President Obama participated in the special.”
The special, part of Nick News With Linda Ellerbee, gives kids across the country the opportunity to ask questions of each candidate. It premieres at 8 p.m. Oct. 15. On Oct. 22, Nickelodeon will reveal the results of its Kids’ Vote poll, which has correctly predicted the winner of five of the past six presidential elections.

Yes, because kids are so politically savvy.

“Kids pick the president.”
Isn’t that what happened last time and why we’re in the mess we’re in?
I’m Boobie the Rocket Dog and I approve this message.

My kids call Obama a “Liar,” a “Loser,” and a “Diaperhead.” The last being my personal favorite.

Yes, this happens quite frequently to stoners. Depth perception and all that.

Respect for kids?? How’s about we TAKE CARE of kids (as in nurture, feed, clothe, you get my drift) and they, in turn, show proper respect?
Bet ALL the kids at Nickelodean get a prize – no matter what.

Wait a damn minute! Obama talked to kids about “gun control, jobs, immigration, same-sex marriage, ” ??
WTF?
Are these topics to discuss with children? I sure as HELL don’t think so!
I’m still pissed he put a raging homo (Arne Duncan) in charge of our kid’s educations, the deviate a-hole.

If I was a liberal progressive douche bag I would say something very nasty about what Linda Ellerbee should do with her statement.
But I’ll give her a break since she’s so busy dealing with a childrens network and she’s probably not abreast of the political situation in this country.

Ellerbee has considered the Progressive Indoctrination of Children job one for as long as I can remember.

Kids Pick The Narcissist Dictator,Obama. There is no choice on Nickelodeon, except the empty chair next to that sign.

There they go again, using kids for their poltical agenda. When we take back the gov’t we need to reestablish childrens’ place in our families and in society. Get rid of the participation trophies and the rest. If a child is being truly abused, then go after the abuser and leave good people alone to raise their families the way they see fit.
The D’s love affair with our children creeps me out.

Perhaps Linda Ellerbee should have spent more time concentrating on her marriages (4) rather than indoctrinating children with progressive bullshit.
