   Obama backtracking on the public option? I should think you'd be jumping with glee instead of accusing him of "waffling." Does this mean you agree with Stewart? We need a public option? Me too.
   
   Here's the Monday show, where he also skewers Fox and its closed loop opinion polls that promote right-wing solidarity among its viewership: www.hulu.com/watch/90331/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-mon-aug-17-2009#s-...
   
   Course, we already have a thread related to Stewart's take on Obama's apparent wavering on the public option: "Progressive Opposition to healthcare reform," www.blogcatalog.com/politics/discuss/entry/progressive-opposition-to-health...
   
   Funny, though, how when I offer links to The Daily Show, conservatives here like you insist on discounting his relevance.

      Stewart has been taking digs a lot lately. I like it when he calls out the president, administration officials, and Democratic members of congress when they are unable to get a clear message across when it needs to be gotten across. Feet to the fire.

   Man, that Obama poster is so offensive. You put it in your avatar and--I don't know anything about you but I hate you. Well, maybe it says more about me than about you, so don't worry about it.
   
   And before you say Bush was made to look stupid in pictures--fair enough, but that didn't happen so early. It didn't happen until Bush pushed the country into a war based on lies.
   
   But hey, Obama is trying to reform health care, therefore he's a Nazi Communist from Kenya.

      That's great. Good for you.
      
      Now I'll have a picture of an aborted fetus. Then you'll have a picture of JFK dying (that will really drive "the Obamaite Following up one wall and down the other"). Then I'll have a picture of Reagan shot. Man... That's why I love the internet--the anonymity allows us to be the worst we can be.
      
      Congratulations.

      I'm anything but anonymous. And to have a caricature is slighly different than depicting death, at least in my book.
      
      But thanks for letting us know that you think Making fun of Obama is tantamount to assassinations and Abortions. You've officially made it onto the Obamaite Followings Honor roll.

      What?!! I don't wanna be left out!
      
      But that was a funny video clip of Stewart. I don't usually like his brand of humor, but it is good to see that Obama can be made fun of. I remember after he was elected the MSM was saying that Bush was easy to satirize, but Obama wouldn't be funny enough to satirize.
