At last President Obama will go on the most literate half hour in television

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is taking his campaign message to "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.

White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer says Obama is taping an appearance on Oct. 27, just days before the Nov. 2 elections. Stewart is coming to Washington next week for the "Rally to Restore Sanity" he is holding three days later on Saturday, Oct. 30, on the National Mall.

The host of the Comedy Central show says the rally is for people who think the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones people hear.

Obama recently endorsed Stewart's event. It will be the president's first appearance on Stewart's program.

1. I suspect we'll at least see him phone it in at the rally. I hope he shows in person.

I think it would be an excellent move. If nothing else, footage of Obama in front of 100 or 200k cheering people is a no-brainer.

2. I'm sure Stewart will throw him at least the same softballs he offered Condoleezza Rice.

...Or not.
