White House Dispatch: Obama to do "Daily Show" on eve of election

[seabeyond]

In the final week leading up to the midterm election, President Obama will appear on the "Daily Show" for the first time since taking office as host Jon Stewart takes his popular show on the road to Washington.

White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said Obama will tape his appearance on Wednesday Oct. 27, just three days before Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity" on the National Mall.

The appearance follows several recent Obama campaign rallies at high-profile college campuses, including Ohio State University and the University of Wisconsin.

The announcement comes as Obama's schedule for the final week leading up to the election comes into sharper focus. After a four-day campaign swing that begins this Wednesday in Oregon and ends Saturday in Minnesota - with stops in Washington state, California, and Nevada in between - the President will hold a fundraiser next Monday in Rhode Island for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

1. WOOP WOOP WOOP - RED ALERT! BAD MOVE! People will be too wiped out the next morning to go vote!

Shit, they'll be up all night laughing about it and watching the replay. They'll probably miss work. They might even be too stoned or full on a Perkin's breakfast meal they had at 4:00 in the morning to get out of bed. I just think it is a bad move. I don't have cable (or want it) so I'll catch it on the Internet AFTER I've been out to vote.
