Barack Obama Talking Sexy, As He Is Wont To Do

Okay, so The Daily Show's embed codes are apparently incompatible with Blogger all of a sudden, but start here and work it our yourselves, I guess.

I have voiced many problems with President Obama, both on this blog and in the non-digital realm. However, I also have a long, documented history of firm belief in the fact that he is a seriously smooth operator who can make me believe in almost anything he sets his mind to making me believe in... okay, wait, that sounds pretty dystopic and religious. ANYWAYS, lost in all of the faux-populist fervor and partially justified though severely misplaced outrage is the recognition that, you know what, he has really improved things for the average person in this country (though not for the average person in Afghanistan) quite a bit.

And, also, Democratic Congresspeople have played a significant role in the realization of those things (loathe as they inexplicably are to admit it). And this is where Jon Stewart has really shone these past months leading up to the election (next week, FYI). I haven't personally seen anyone else (besides Stephen Colbert, in his own way) point out so forcefully and frequently the single biggest reason why the Democrats are most likely going to lose their majorities in the House and Senate in this coming election: they are afraid to tout their accomplishments because of a very small but very vocal group of Tea Baggers who have managed to dominate the political discourse through a deadly combination of vitriolic rhetoric and mainstream media compliance to the extent that Democratic Congresspeople actually believe that they represent the majority of Americans! Never mind that these idiots, unbeknownst to them, don't even represent their own interests!

So, here Obama makes even Stewart look a bit foolish (especially his cheap-shot concerning unemployment levels). Because, as bad as things continue to be in America, one need only look at the way things were before Obama was president and had a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, the behavior of the Republicans in the House and Senate, and the Tea Baggers who now have candidates in serious jeopardy of becoming the policy-makers of our country, to realize how much worse things could have, and could still, be.

And, since any post of mine wouldn't be complete without a tacking on of some unrelated subject, does anyone else watch the NBC comedy Community? Because you really should watch the NBC comedy Community. It airs on Thursday nights, as does any good comedy show on television, but I recommend looking it up and starting from the beginning, because the first season was awesome, and the character development is great. That is all.
