Jon Stewart saddened that Obama "has kept in place so much of the same system and same people"

[Mefistofeles]

Excerpt:

"Stewart, who maintains he ultimately does not regret his vote for Obama, said he is "saddened" the president hasn't done more to change the structure of Washington.

"I thought we were in such a place , much like the Tea Party feels now, that the country … needed a more drastic reconstruction – 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 and the same system has kept in place so much of the same system and same people," he said."

2. Kind of interesting to me that you didn't highlight this, but then again...

"I think people feel a disappointment in that there was a sense that Jesus will walk on water and no you are looking at it like, 'Oh look at that, he's just treading water' …

3. Yeah - but why did he have to say this on Fox? He handed O'Reilly what he wanted.

6. Me, too. I commented on this from the start, esp. when he chose Rahm as COS.

One of his strengths, I had thought, was selecting the right people for the right jobs. But in the end, that's where I thought he was weakest.

He chose that woman (whose name I can't recall) to head up some economic agency...she was horrible. A terrible communicator. She has since "resigned," but who in the world thought she would be good to begin with? Then to choose the same people for his economic team who were responsible for getting the country into the trouble it was in....what a shocking choice that was.
