Former ‘Reading Rainbow’ Host Levar Burton Speaks on Romney’s Promise to Cut PBS Funding (Video)
Levar Burton is not alone in his outrage over U.S. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s debate declaration – that he would cut funding for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) – but Burton went a step further in expressing it. Burton says it was, in effect, a declaration of war on underprivileged children!
On Soledad O’Brien‘s “Starting Point†(video from CNN above), Burton continued:
Now, I enjoy PBS programming; but I am a full-grown, educated, man. I can ‘do without.’ But when Burton focuses on the impact to children’s access to educational programming…well, it should give us all pause. Now, in the interest of fairness, see for yourself what Romney actually said the night of the first Presidential debate after the jump.
Comedy: Stephen Colbert ‘Clarifies’ Mitt Romney’s Position On President Obama’s Supporters (Video)
Hahaaa! Comedy Central’s resident ‘Conservative’ Stephen Colbert goes IN… I mean he ‘helps’ Mitt Romney out of the mess created by this week’s release of video recorded at a private Republican fundraiser in May 2012. Many (read: anyone with functioning eyes and ears) understood the video to be a record of Mitt Romney dismissing President Obama’s supporters as freeloaders and mindless moochers who expect government to provide for all their needs.
Now, what (besides watching the video) would give people that idea? Well, maybe they got it from Mr. Romney himself – stating at a press conference that what folks gathered from the secret video recording is EXACTLY what he meant! The REAL problem is that the message was delivered off-the-cuff; not as eloquently as it should have been stated. Well, Stephen Colbert has stepped in to save the day – redelivering the message in a ‘refined’ manner worthy of the Romney candidacy. Take a look at this Colbert Report clip… and TRY not to laugh. Stephen is a fool. Hilarious!
