Deputy National Press Secretary Adam Fetcher tells TMZ, “It’s no surprise Romney decided to play hookey.

What a pathetic attack. Obama is the one who is truant when it comes to meeting face to face with world leaders at the U.N., daily intelligence briefings, and meeting with his jobs council. But hobnobbing with celebrities and doing softball interviews…no problem. And Mitt is intentionally ducking questions from kids? Did Fetcher say that with a straight face?

And how often has Obama faced tough questions? Once in the last four years…. and 70 million of us saw what happened when he tried to do that.

Get out there and wow those kids now Mr.President.

See, when dad is unemployed and mom is working 2 jobs, plus cooking, cleaning – that $3.80 a gallon is taken into consideration when deciding “just soccer this year or can we afford hockey across town?”

When the mortgage payment can’t be made, and a costly move and downsize occurs to an apartment – kids are effected by a new bus route, group of friends and some shame.

When the President appears in a Nationally televised debate – and looks like an ignorant moron in front of millions of kids and parents…

Kids do decide elections.

After the horrible, rotten tweets about Ann Romney and Janna Ryan from Jason Biggs of Nick’s much vaunted “New Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles” Mitt should ignore them

Agreed. He should do nothing for or with Nickelodeon because of this.

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.”

OH YEAH, I’m sure those were the questions those sharp-brained kids were going to ask. Kids ask questions like that all the time :-D

that is a great area of Virginia. Unlike Georgia, most areas of Virginia are habitable, beautiful and have friendly people to boot./

I beg your pardon! We southern folks are fine people, some of the friendliest people around. ( Of course you have to exclude Atlanta Metro)

Too bad, because the president had an absolutely whiz-bang answer on why candy corn is his favorite Halloween treat.

Is O aware that Moose A Moose, the MC for Nick Jr, doesn’t like candy corn? Check it out:

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.”

OH shut the HELL up! This country is going straight into the TOILET. Nothing is going to get done with NICKELODEON’s help!

Maybe now SNL can find something funny about the debate?

I mean, it’s hilarious to picture Obama losing horribly in a face-to-face debate, then running over to the middle of a group of schoolkids and issuing a double-dog-dare challenge to “debate me now!”

If SNL writers need material, they should go to the comment section of Ace’s post, “It’s Over”.

Rowdy, fun and hilarious.

he would totally steal California right out from under El Barky’s nose

It’s our stupid state legislature insisting on designer gas. But yes, the optics would be excellent.

John the Libertarian on October 8, 2012 at 5:56 PM

BWAHAHAHAH….. California voters would sooooo fall for it…. ;p

I mean, it’s hilarious to picture Obama losing horribly in a face-to-face debate, then running over to the middle of a group of schoolkids and issuing a double-dog-dare challenge to “debate me now!”

Who wants to bet this will be the lead story on every lunatic asylum show on MSNBC tonight? Rachel Maddow particularly will likely have a field day with this one!

That guy kills me.

In that last pic linked in the post, look at how excited those kids are to see Romney, bodes well. Obama will surely be crushed that among the 4th grader crowd, he’s out and Romeny’s in.

Mayday on October 8, 2012 at 6:03 PM

Sad to say but that is a safe area of the state for Romney. Those kids’ parents will vote for Mitt. Frankly, where I live in Northern Virginia is the key and it is truly too close to call.

Those kids in Virginia will remember that day for the rest of their lives.

JPeterman on October 8, 2012 at 6:02 PM

Yeah, after he read them, “My Pet Dog” who ended up on a dinner plate.

Cody1991 on October 8, 2012 at 6:06 PM

Uhhhhh…… you know who I was talking about.

The photos of Romney are great, but I agree with MeatHead and Happy Nomad that these events cheapen the office.

After the horrible, rotten tweets about Ann Romney and Janna Ryan from Jason Biggs of Nick’s much vaunted “New Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles” Mitt should ignore them, and Jug Ears should be ashamed of himself for associating with them.

Romney should make a point of stating why he won’t go on Nick for that reason.
