1. Yeap, Stewarts last statement in the clip is how a lot of folk feel about Obama

[arcadian]

2. They have changed the name of his studio

To the "DU - Under the Bus - Theatre"

9. Not all of DU, only the ones who's brains hurt

:evilgrin:

3. I bet I know what you're talking about. Is this the segment where he talks about Obama's speech

and shows how Obama makes such a complex argument, saying at the end something like, "Every time you think it's over, he pulls you back in"? :D He IS brilliant. (Both of them.) ;)

[impik]

5. Yea, that one

That Oslo speech threw everyone - Left AND Right - to a complete roller coaster. It broke so many conventions, people are is shock. :)

8. I knew it...

It sure did. I like how Stewart started out acting at first like Obama=Bush, but then he showed the OTHER part which changes the whole meaning of his speech (which nobody in the media shows), and figured out Obama's message-that it's complex, not black and white. The speech was brilliant. And he wrote it himself.

[impik]

14. Really? He wrote it himself?

[jenmito]

15. Chuck Todd said he did. n/t

12. Glad Stewart got that!

[Gregorian]

4. That gave me hope. Then I saw Fisk's statements on the escalation.

I have to say, there is no middle ground. I trust Jon, but I think Robert Fisk is right. It's a disastrous mistake.

Obama is good. But he's surrounded by quicksand in all directions, thanks to the disassembling of our country by conservatives.

11. This I agree with

I still believe in Obama. But I think he's a bit timid: in recognition of his lack of experience; in the face of all the political pressure; it's his style to build consensus more than push his agenda. I don't think he's found his legs yet...at least, I hope this is it.

[dalaigh lllama]

16. I think you're right

But then, I'm less disappointed in him than I am with Congress. I hope President Obama bashes a few of their heads in the coming year and knocks some sense into them.

[jeanpalmer]

17. timid

lack of experience. political pressure. consensus building. hasn't found his legs yet.

how many fkn excuses can you find for this warmonger?

[cilla4progress]

18. You're over the top cynical

Who would you like to see for President?

[Cha]

19. How many stupid ways can you bash him?

[HopeOverFear]

6. that was good

[Clio the Leo]

7. Awwww ...... that was cute. Thank you impik. NT

[vaberella]

10. My favorite line of Stewart's is: "Obama forcing us to live in between absolutes." I said AMEN!

That's what's so hard for people to get. They go into two extremes not realizing that the world lives right in between.

[cilla4progress]

13. Yah, I admit I'm in love with him...

er...that would be both of them...
