Jon Stewart: Obama is the luckiest guy on earth

...while Mitt Romney just keeps getting dumber

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show has taken a bit more of a critical look at Obama's campaign than he usually do, concluding that Obama is the luckiest guy on the earth. The only thing worse than the fundamentals in this election is Mitt Romney:

Uh oh, Bams & Shrillery knew Benghazi US embassy attack was terrorist attack within 1st 24 hours, & repeatedly lied to protect barry's "lay down"ME foreign policy. That's what you get with part-time... You can't make this shite up...

how depressing, though most amusing, to see fair and balanced review of the presidential race from a comedian.
i also thought it not possible for a Republican to be dumber than Bush, yet there it is.

Dont think Ive ever had a raging boner...explain please.

Oh and if you have a slightly, better thought out comeback please use it.

Youre not as smart as you think you are...I think you peaked at John Cheese...

Again, with the comedian... Stewart admits he only votes for the person he thinks is just "the better person". No intellectual, in-depth analysis of policy, resume, success, etc... he's just covering his bases to make sure he doesn't look like a complete doofus if/when Øbama loses.

Again with the half thunk nonsense...

We shouldnt care who John Stewart votes for...his audience can think for themselves.

We should care that one candidate doesnt know his arse from his elbow.

John Stewart enlightens and entertains...Fox news (bullshit mountain) on the other hand keeps dumb america in the dark and frightens them.

Dont presume people are sheep like you clearly are...

You probaby wouldn't have the raging boner for Stewart if the old media was doing it's job...ever think about that?

Someone wishes he was from across the pond...

raging boner...hee hee. If i used that trying to make a stinging rebuke I would giggle and expect to not be taken seriously.

It like asking you not to poo your pants in frustration that John 'phwoar my pants are shrinking' Stewart is clearly more edumacated than you 'think' you are...

I will buy an american to ENGLISH dictionary to get your twat like point if you promise to have a better last word next time...Go!
