Romney hits Obama on Big Bird focus

Mitt Romney, speaking to a crowd of about 1,200 on a farm here in Van Meter, Iowa, criticized President Obama's recent focus on Big Bird on the campaign trail.

"You have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird," he said. "I actually think we need to have a president who talks about saving the American people and saving good jobs."

Romney's not the only one, as my colleague Dylan Byers notes, criticizing the Obama campaign for focusing on a "small" issue like Big Bird.
