Obama on the Daily Show

Lighten Up: Obama Hits the Daily Show

April 22, 2008

On the eve of the big rumble in PA, Barack Obama joined Jon Stewart via satellite for a kind of serious discussion — by Daily Show standards anyway. I kept trying to see if Jon had Larry King hiding under his desk feeding him questions. If you're a fan, you'll dig it. It's a two-parter — the giggles come at the end of each.

Oh, and to see what Obama would sound like selling cell phones, (I know you're all dying to know!) read more.

What do you think? I say fun, but it's probably no Colbert Bump!

I don't know that I would say it's terrifying. "Real news show people" aren't always as objective as they should be and don't always report everything. I think Colbert and Stewart deal with "real news" in a funny, more relatable way. It's not like they're making up stories about the candidates...

Sadly, I think Stewart and Colbert have been just as informative as the Democratic debates here of late...which is to say, they haven't been.

That was pretty funny. In re: to side debate, I don't think emotions should be entirely discounted when making decisions. Our gut reactions and instinct provide valuable information and should not be overlooked.

"I just heard on the news that 43% of young people say they form their opinion on who to vote for from the likes of the Daily Show and Colbert...That is TERRIFYING."Terrifying, but not surprising.

It's all "what do I feel" instead of "come, let us reason together."People use feelings where they might want to consider using reason and wisdom.Scary.
