Jon Stewart Blasts Obama for War-Related Lies, Broken Promises
Tonight, Jon Stewart called out President Obama for not only not living up to his campaign-era promises to reverse many of the Bush Administration's war-related human rights policies, but also attempting to introduce new, even more harsh ones. Video inside. Using video of Obama's pre-election victory promises related to everything from habeas corpus, to protection for whistleblowers, to Miranda rights and more, and cutting them with recent news reports revealing the fact that he's not lived up to a single one of them, Stewart painted a biting, grim picture that—for Obama—couldn't come at a worse time. Here's the video. http://tv.gawker.com/5564642/jon-stewart-blasts-obama-for-war+related-lies-broken-promises |

Well, the show has not been broadcasted yet...but I'd ask tough questions on the wars and other issues as well. Nobody's happy but this disaster we're digging out of will take time to undo...
...electing T-baggers is not going to help that cause. I'll give President Barack Hussein Obama a few more years before I call him a miserable failure like the last guy was. |

I love that John thinks outside the box to deliver thought invoking sarcasm and cynicism
I dont take it all to heart, but I appreciate his humor, and everyone is fair game,,,, |

That show aired on, Jun 15, 2010.
He is an actor who makes his network big bucks. He will play what gets him and his stockholders the biggest buck. He and Glen are entertainment. That and nothing more. The next time H flops, he'll be right in there feeding off the corpse just like Mr Beck. |

I don't think there is a laugh track. It's filmed live. People are I the audience.

his show on MTV was better before his voice changed

Just because it is comedy, doesn't mean that what he is making fun of isn't true.

Just because it is comedy, doesn't mean that what he is making fun of isn't true. Right! And there no news in slamming oBoreme. Beck's making all the bucks on that one. Just wait. After this Nov. deal, H screws the pooch and Stewart will be one of the firsts to be stompin' him. |

Just because it is comedy, doesn't mean that what he is making fun of isn't true. some of it is true, some of it is intentionally deceptive for the purpose of getting a laugh (like comparing the rules for prisoners on an american base in a non war zone with one in a war zone and the rules for non combatant detainees with ruled for enemy combatants..) |

Just because it is comedy, doesn't mean that what he is making fun of isn't true. most of the time, it's worse than lies, half truths to make it funny... |

I'm wondering if the OP and I watched different shows, as I didn't see Jon Stewart blasting the President. Though, I'm wondering if the OP actually watched the show, or just shared the article.
