Obama Laughed At by Jon Stewart’s Audience

Written By : Dave Blount

At this point, not even establishment moonbats can take the erstwhile Anointed One seriously as he flounders pathetically amid the ruin he has made of the Democrat Party. WaPo’s Dana Milbank shakes his head in grief over the dishonor Obama has brought to the presidency by subjecting himself to Jon Stewart’s ridicule:

On Comedy Central, the joke was on President Obama Wednesday night.

The president had come, on the eve of what will almost certainly be the loss of his governing majority, to plead his case before Jon Stewart, gatekeeper of the disillusioned left. But instead of displaying the sizzle that won him an army of youthful supporters two years ago, Obama had a Brownie moment.

The Daily Show host was giving Obama a tough time about hiring the conventional and Clintonian Larry Summers as his top economic advisor.

“In fairness,” the president replied defensively, “Larry Summers did a heckuva job.”

“You don’t want to use that phrase, dude,” Stewart recommended with a laugh.

Dude. The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief “dude” pretty well captured the moment for Obama.

Try to imagine Ronaldus Magnus crawling into a playpen to unsuccessfully beg a professional clown for approval.

A low point in American history came after Stewart asked,

“You wouldn’t say you’d run this time as a pragmatist? It wouldn’t be, ‘Yes we can, given certain conditions?’”

“I think what I would say is yes we can, but — “

Stewart, and the audience, laughed at the “but.”

Obama didn’t laugh.

Stewart’s liberal audience wasn’t laughing with him, but at him — and at anyone who still takes this tragic farce of a presidency seriously.

Not exactly up there with Washington crossing the Delaware.

That was one of many chuckles. How about Barry whining that he couldn’t get anything done because he only had a 77 vote majority in the House and 18 in the Senate. Pooooor Barry!

You know that the lunatic-left d-crat socialists have reached bottom when even the stoned adolescents on the daily show don’t cheer for their leader.

He seemed to be hoping for a true democracy. That would truly suck.

You can chalk me up with the people who are really uncomfortable with calling the president “dude.”

Yeah, doesn’t really seem appropriate.

Then again, the president did put himself in the position of being interviewed by a parody news anchor. He kind of brought it on himself.

I don’t think it’d be appropriate to call the president a ballerina to his face but if he decides to dress in a tutu and ballerina slippers then I could understand it.

Yep – straight out of a Cheech & Chong movie. Or maybe a bad Spiccoli impression. Definitely not a respectful tone. I may intensely dislike much of what Mr. Obama says and does, but he is the current incumbent in an office which deserves my respect, so I generally try to provide some in spite of my feelings.

gfchicago

Why Martin, with all of the respect to the office that he’s shown? I’m going to have to respectively disagree with you on this one. You know that I respect your opinion along with the other long time commenter’s on this board, but this one instance, I just don’t agree. He brought it on himself.

rjschwarz

Three is a military saying, you salute the rank, not the man.

gfchicago

With all due respect I can’t do it. He treats the citizens of the U.S. as pawns, for his political agenda, ect., ect. In all of my 50 years, I have never seen a sitting U.S. President treat the U.S. citizens with such contempt, he doesn’t deserve anyone’s respect. He has shown absolutely no respect for the office which he is supposed to represent.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Yep. It has to do with the office of the president being something critical to the country’s future and society’s cohesion. The man might be a repugnant reprobate like Clinton or an incompetent Marxist like Obama, but the office deserves respect, even if the man does not.

http://conservativebootcamp.com Martin Hale

GF, I’d happily join you in bashing Mr. Obama at a personal level. I find him to be vain, self-centred, small-minded in most matters; I think he lacks the grand vision of a true leader; he’s not shown me much in the way of actual leadership ability and I find him to be incredibly divisive, primarily because he politicises everything he says or does.

But as our president, unless he’s actively engaged in treason or other illegalities, he’s still my CIC, like it or not. Respecting the office is part of what allows me to get through this four-year period without going batsh*t crazy with worry. For me, it’s similar to having a boss who one doesn’t respect, admire or even particularly like. You muddle through until something occurs which changes things up.

gfchicago

You can’t with me, because I’ve called him a hell of a lot worse. In fact when he’s on tv, there have been a couple of times I wanted to throw a shoe at the set, but sanity set in and I changed the channel.

Besides the way he has treated the Office of the Presidency, he doesn’t deserve any better than what he got from John Stewart. I would prefer BJ Clinton over this buffoon, old BJ wasn’t that respectful of the office, however he was a hell of a lot better than this poser that we have in office now.

Talk about slow-pitch. I loved the characterization of Obama’s agenda as “timid”. Trillions in debt, nationalization of major corporations, socialized health care, and endless bailouts is “timid”? That doesn’t even count Cap and Tax, the Internet Takeover, and Cardcheck, which Obama all desperately wanted as well.

“Timid” was a polite way of saying “failed”.
Good Ol Boy

Dang… there’s a whole lot of smugness going on in that studio. How the heck did they fit both of those egos into the same room?

Stewart must be pretty excited about the upcoming elections. It must be grating on him to (begrudgingly) criticize democrats for their faults.

Once republicans take a majority anywhere he can return to the status quo, the good old days of the Bush era when everything was the republicans fault.
Good Ol Boy

Hmmm… I’m not sure if I’m surprised back the complete lack of a response to this thread by our resident liberals or not…

P.S.- Did Stewart and Colbert have there little rally in DC yet?

Martha

DC ralley this Saturday, dude. Be there or be square.

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

We’ll see how many “squares” the country has, then. My prediction? Half what the Beck rally pulled. If that.

D-Vega

225K RSVP on the facebook page, CT. And did I mention that D-Vega himself will be there?

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Have fun and visit all the sites, I would love to go see the historical stuff. Its one thing to sign up, its another to make it. I hope its huge, but I’m tellin ya I just don’t see it.
Kingfisher

Vega might be right, Chris. The demonstrators will be bussed in and provided the basic creature comforts including signs and t-shirts.

In other words, all these people will have to do is waddle on and off the buses. Not like any conservative rally where people must make the initiative to travel on their own dime.
D-Vega

I’m traveling on my own dime, Kingfisher.

The only free buses are the ones from HuffPo leaving out of NYC, as far as I know. But they needed people to be there at 5am which is too early for me. And they drop everyone at RFK stadium at 11am, which means the Metro will be packed.

There are no signs or t-shirts being given out either. Any merchandise from the rally has to be paid for and the proceeds go to the Trust for the National Mall.

Don’t hate. This rally is for real. Catch it tomorrow on Comedy Central from 12noon-3pm.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Meh, they tried that with the Union rally, and pulled in like 20,000 people.

It’s gonna be huge either way. I don’t care to compare it to Beck’s rally. It’s a different vibe and audience.

I’ve been to DC many times. Forget the gov’t buildings, the Smithsonian, museums, memorials and the bars are great.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Yeah I could spend a month at the Smithsonian, and I meant the memorials, not the government buildings. I’d love to see Philadelphia too.

That was 225K saying they WEREN’T going to attend. 10,000 are going and 110,000 are “thinking about it”.

http://althouse.blogspot.com/2010/10/la-times-on-jon-stewart-rally-nearly.html

That silly media, always kidding around with their facts!
D-Vega

You are wrong, hawk.

You know I hate to correct you, but you need to check the FB page that is linked in that same article you cited above.

The RSVP number is now at 227K. 240K said they are not.
Anonymous

Then the proof will be in the pudding, right D?

Have a good time, though. Don’t cross the union thugs.
D-Vega

I will try, hawk.

It’s really more of a roadtrip with buddies, but I figured why not?
Anonymous

For the record, the FB page is still showing 242086 NOT attending, 10004 MAYBE attending and 315088 AWAITING REPLY.

The number of people who said they were going to go is under 100,000. There are another group of around 200,000 who are saying they may go. We’ll see.

D-Vega

For anyone who has been longing to meet D-Vega in person, he will be making a special appearance at John Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity this Saturday, Oct 30th.

Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to meet D-Vega face to face.

gfchicago

Jeeze Vega, you sound almost as narcissistic as Obama-bin-Lyin.

Martha

Hey, doggy. How is it you know of BJs? Thought you were a conservative. Only open your mouth to spout nonsense.

gfchicago

Ya know Martha, this is exactly why people on this site don’t like you.

Flagged for personal attack.

Martha

LOL- personal attack. Have you and your ilk read what you and your ilk say about the President? And – ya know – you’re kinda mean toward me, too. *sniff*
gfchicago

I for the most part ignore you until you start to bother me, because I know you’re batshit crazy. If you don’t like what I have to say about President Pookie, well tough titty said the kitty.I have the same right to knock him as you libtards did to President Bush. The only standard people like you have is low, if it wasn’t for that you would have no standards at all.
Martha

Ya see, tough titty, this is the hipocricy we all snicker at about the right. You blame the left for doing something,then turn around, do the same thing, and say it is OK to do it because . . . well, because your betters do it. Reaction, not action.

Standards, you are the barrel scraper, gal.
gfchicago

You are really stupid, I didn’t attack you until you attacked me. Obummer is a public figure, so if you don’t like it tough. Your lower than than the barrel. We can trade insults all night long, jeeze isn’t that great fun?

Tell you what you leave me alone, and I will definitely ignore you, because you have nothing interesting to say.

You’re crossing a line, Martha. Shut up already.

Shut up, filth, you need to be banned. Again.

You’re a president? Because if not then it isn’t really an apt comparison.

Criticizing a standing presidents on a political forum is a given dontchathink?

Personal attacks that do nothing to advance the conversation and contribute nothing are not a given. Well, they are when you show up, but otherwise things are pretty harmonious.

And speaking of hypocrisy: isn’t call the president hitler the highest form of patriotism? Shouldn’t you be praising all of us for our patriotic zeal in denouncing our current president?
Proud Infidel

You lose.

heh, heh. I figured this was my only shot to tell you guys.

gfchicago

Have fun Vega! I’m sure you’ll let us know all about it either later on this weekend or on Monday.

D-Vega

It should be a day of peace, laughter and love, my brothers and sisters.
gfchicago

Yeah ok Vega what ever you say.
D-Vega

I am going to carry a sign that says “Chill, dude.”

D-Vega

heh, heh. I figured this was my only shot to tell you guys.

Kingfisher

What a coincidence, Vega. I’ll be hanging around a bunch of freakish people who are all looking for free handouts.

Wait, my apologies, I’m referring to “Halloween.”

Enjoy the free love and weed, Vega.

D-Vega

This rally isn’t about that, Kingfisher.

Secondly, there is no weed as far as I know.

Lastly, you can stick to paying for love.

gfchicago

Haahaha Vega, you always pay for love in some form or the other. Consider the dinners and drinks that you buy for a woman when you are dating.

Unless your in to skanks that will give it away for nothing, but then again you have a high chance of contracting a STD.

D-Vega

Oh, I have been married for nearly 11 years, gf.

So believe me, I am constantly paying. Daily.
gfchicago

LOL You just proved my point. Just ask my husband how much he pays!

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

There’s gonna be plenty of weed there, and you know it. Hell you’ll probably pack some with you.

Hey, dudes and dudettes, U do know itis a comedy show, dont’cha? Like, that’s why it’s on the Comedy network.

Drethos

I wish Obama only did stand up comedy instead of his impression of a world leader.

Abolt06

Barack Obama has been seen on TV every day since he became president. He apparently has no understanding of the concept of overexposure. I fear that his ego is so pathological that he will become steadily more disrespected as he becomes more frustrated.

This man should never have become POTUS. He is a national embarrassment.
