Especially Nickleodeon.
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.
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.”
Tell it to Chris Stevens. His family is still waiting.
I guess you don’t realize it but some jobs are dangerous—witness the thousands of US citizens killed in the line of duty while protecting corporate oil and pipeline interests in Iraq and Afghanistan.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity):
Can you imagine telling the people of a country where homosexuality is illegal and homosexual acts are punishable by 4 years behind bars that your Embassy is hiring homosexuals???
Obama did that.
Through this job description.
The job descriptions explicitly stated that this included the “same-sex domestic partners” of U.S. government employees.

The job descriptions had this disclaimer:
Oh, and just to seal his fate, the job descriptions were posted in Arabic. (PDF)
Obama signed an order for all this back in 2009.

Hillary had a hand in sealing Stevens’ fate, too:
“The Department of State,” Clinton’s statement said, “intends to provide the following additional benefits and allowances for declared same-sex domestic partners of eligible employees serving overseas: Diplomatic passports … Family member preference for employment at posts abroad.”
So, that’s it.
Homosexuality WAS partly to blame for Stevens’ death.
And I thought it was irrelevant for a while there.
Now, there are over 55 OTHER Islamic countries where we really ought to do a PULL-BACK from this STUPID policy.
If you think a dumb video inflamed Islamists, wait til it gets out that we are sending them homosexual abassadorial staff.
