Poll question: Obama will be on The Daily Show Wed. night.
Edited on Tue Oct-19-10 09:12 PM by jenmito
Do you think he should show up at the Stewart/Colbert rally, too? I say yes-what better way would there be to fire up the young voters?

It's not gonna be a victory lap...

3. I mean a victory lap for a winning job as President
I don't think Stewart's real pleased with the "fierce urgency of triangulation".

4. So, he's doing a LOSING job according to you? I already know the answer.

Yes, Stewart has been very hard on Obama, but he's still going on the show. Shows courage to me.

6. Not perfect symmetry. Occasional honest disagreement but rest assured... They are kindred spirits.
Sorry.

Some here could learn much from Stewart's critiques of the Obama administration.

9. 'I have been saddened to see...
that someone who ran on the idea that you can't expect to get different results with the same people in the same system has kept in place so much of the same system and the same people." - Jon Stewart

10. Yes, we know.
Then, after that one episode, Stewart went on to defend POTUS against the barrage of bullshittery spewed by the disingenuous, petty cynics... much like some on this board.

5. It would be a very very good move, but I'm biased since I'm going to be there.

11. Unfortunately, I dont think he can just show up at the rally...
.... the man doesn't go to the potty w/out 20 people going with him .... rally attendees would have to go through more security etc. .... I think him doing the show is an indicator he won't be at the rally .... if it weren't for the security aspect, good idea though.
