"Sesame Street" celebrated its 40th anniversary last month, and a Sesame
Workshop press release quotes a message from President Obama praising the PBS
show:

"There are many adults who could stand to learn again the
lessons that Sesame Street offers: lessons of compassion,
and kindness and respect for our differences. The world is
a better place for the world you create on Sesame Street--a
world that enriches our children's minds and hearts each and
every day," he continued.

Meanwhile, CBS News reports that Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, has
been "tweeting"--and we don't mean like Big Bird:

"Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to
tell us 'time to deliver' on health care. We still on skedul/even
workinWKEND," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ranking member of
the Senate Finance Committee, declared on his Twitter account
on Sunday morning.

Minutes later, he tweeted, "Pres Obama while u sightseeing
in Paris u said 'time to delivr on healthcare' When you are
a 'hammer' u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL."

Forget about compassion, kindness and respect--some adults could stand to
learn again the lessons of basic literacy.

It's now time for healing, and for fixing the damage the Democrats did
to America.

You do understand the limitations of Twitter messages due to their
following the character limits of SMS. If they didn't follow the SMS
format people might write longer messages and not use the shortcuts
such as 'u' instead of 'you.' But you probably already knew all of
this.
