President Obama will make the fusion of politics and comedy official tonight by becoming the first sitting president to appear on Comedy Central’s “Daily Show” just days before crucial midterm elections that could reshape his presidency.
Mr. Obama will sit down this afternoon with Jon Stewart, the comedian-turned-activist who hosts the show, in what White House officials concede is a blatant attempt to seek out young Democratic voters wherever they spend the most time.
“The President hasn’t been shy about going to the places where people are getting their information and trying to make his case,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Tuesday. “And I think that’s what he’ll do on the show.”

What an ass clown. I can’t wait for the election results. He’s gonna be screwed !
Makes perfect sense, his whole presidency has been a joke.
File this under: The Most Unpresidential President Ever.
Give the one credit, where credit is due.
“Mr. President, is the individual mandate in the healthcare bill a tax? Yes or no answer, please.”
I'd love to see Obama answer that one. I know what he would say (no), but those who follow politics knows that Obama’s lawyers are arguing that the mandate is a tax, and thus under the umbrella of the ICC.
Should Americans* be allowed to vote in U.S. elections?
(Of course American FReepers should be.)
Shameful. What a joker.
Sure. Ice Cream Parlors, Burger Joints, Expensive Spanish Hotels, the U.N., college campuses, beer summits, golf courses, David Letterman, Jay Leno, The View, ESPN...
But he sure is "shy" about STAYING AT HIS DAMNED DESK FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS....
Drudge doesn't seem to have anything about the "our enemies" comment...I don't know if the MSM has noticed it at all (maybe only Rush and people on Fox have talked about it).
What ever happened to ‘equal time”?????
Democrats appear in churches—then scream about ‘separation of church & state’.
They appear on TV & radio shows-—not in PAID time slots.
With the bias of the media, the Dems are in our faces all the time.
Perhaps this election cycle, the over-exposure will work against them for once.
Pandering to his base, literally! Go figure...
What would you like to wager that the WH has been heavily involved in the planning?
What would you like to wager that Stewart's reward for being the front man for the operation was to get Obama on his show?
If Obama were to face an actual enemy he would piss his pants.
Jump that shark Jon! You’re tired, empty, and you know you wanna!
“Jump! jump! Jump! Jump!...”
“If I was many miles from here,
I’d be sailing in an open boat on the sea
Instead I’m on this window ledge,
With the whole world below
Up at the window
Look at the window..”
Certifiable.
Will be even more-so after Tuesday next week.
Keep it up, morons. Great missteps. I had hoped they would do this kind of thing. This is great! Get out the popcorn.
What next a celebrity Bingo appearance?
Pray for the Election
