   Obama visited the Daily Show well before his candidacy and his rapport with Jon Stewart was amazing.

   Too bad he won the preseidency right after our resources were depleted and we were speeding towards a recession. And we’d been in war for years. Because somehow people thinks it’s his fault. He gave us health care reform, he did countless other things that didn’t get into the news, like lifting the ban on preventing HIV+ tourists from visiting the US.

   I appreciate a “man of the people” type of president who we see interacting with the “everyman” so much more than one who is so out of touch he only made State of the Union speeches, posed on the front lawn of the White House, and kept screaming “we’re not in a recession” into any mike up until he left office, only for us to realize most everyone we knew were losing their jobs and banks were closing as people defaulted on loans..and oops, we were in a recession.

   Obama will be the Jimmy Carter of our time. A great man but just too nice an “everyman” to be appreciated in his own time. Jimmy Carter lacked the hard core mean spirit drive it took to bomb countries; he instead try to hold hands with the world and thought he could make it a better place. It’s makes for a great human being but it’s not the right mix for President. That is why I’m always so tempted to vote the other side; those hard core SOB’s would nuke they momma!! Here’s hoping Obama get things to turn around by the end of next year and his legacy won’t just be “first black president” (Running now before I get NUKED)

   Wow – where to begin – First, he is the President, he has acted presidential and shown a maturity and restraint that is lost on some folks. He has accomplished a number of goals. Educate yourself about his record instead of having others tell you what his administration is doing and trying to do to right what was a sinking ship. Snark for snark’s sake is cheap, Nads.

   yeah lets see what this asshat has done. spent money we dont have on jobs that are not there. Given us healthcare that costs more to the average person. Taken WAY too many fucking vacations. Not done anything for 1 whole month while oil was spilling. Yep very presidential

   Uh, NADS, would you stay out of politics! First, Elizabeth, then Bristol now Obama. There is no room for politics at TVGASM.

   BTW: Obama will be at my place of employment tomorrow. He is giving a speech/pep rally on the steps of Doheny Library on the beautiful USC campus.

   Geez, you’d think Nads kicked a puppy or something! Personally I don’t mind the Prez being on TV as long a there’s a good reason. I heard on Mythbusters it’s some type of education initiative promo.

   Uh, muslimevil..so the President was supposed to find the solution to stop oil from spilling into the sea when BP (the oil experts) could not?? And then when he’s done he also should cure cancer. Because, I mean, isn’t it a presiden’t job to fix problems? ALL problems! I keep forgetting that “President” spelled backwards = miracleworkerwhosqualifiedateverything.

    The President could close Guantanamo (like he promised), end Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell (promised), enact that horrid Health Care Reform (as promised), change our intelligence gathering/Patriot Act use (Bush had it all wrong) all with swipe of the figurative pen…huge markers he ran on…lots of people in his camp expected great big promises to be fulfilled. So they are taking inaction on those particular issues personally. That’s about where he’s lost his camp.

    Sarcasatire, that is what his job is , apparently- walk on water and look pretty doing it..sigh. And I don’t even know what VRoxas is talking about – I feel as if he/she just woke up from a two year nap. Left…Right… neither side never lets facts or political reality get in the way of a good temper tantrum…

    VRoxas- I think you spelled out your dissatisfaction pretty clearly. Cheers to Nov 2011.

    @Baxter..what happens in Nov. 2011? I’m assuming since the president was voted into office in 2008 that he would remain there until 2012. Am I missing something? (actually, he would remain there until jan, 20, 2013 as per the Lame Duck Ammendment, but that would be splitting hairs)

    I swear, when I was 18 I didn’t see the point of voting because I wasn’t convinced I mattered. Now it’s the candidates who can’t convince me they matter. Life really is one big circle.

    With all the technology available, it’s easy enough for a politician to appear on a TV show and still do his job. I’d also venture to guess that Obama’s “Mythbusters” appearance was in keeping with his push to recognize and reward students who excel at science, since US schools are falling woefully behind in math and science.

    As for TDS, they’re shooting in DC that week. Likely a motorcade will take him there, do his bit, and take him back. Since Congress is out of session this month, and will be in a lame duck session for the rest of the year, he can handle both things simultaneously. No doubt anything that would need immediate attention would take precedence, but other than screwing up DC rush hour traffic for his motorcade I don’t see anything wrong with the appearances.

    Yeah, VRoxas, it was plain english and still made no sense. But since you think voting doesn’t matter, I stopped caring about your opinion…
