The stars were out Wednesday night, May 27, at a special benefit gala to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the most beloved street in the world — Sesame Street — and President Barack Obama sent hearty congratulations via a surprise video message.
“I'm pleased to join all of you in supporting and celebrating this program, as someone who remembers fondly watching Sesame Street with my younger sister and as a parent of two girls who learned a great deal while spending time with Elmo and Big Bird and all of their pals,” President Obama said.
“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.
