While it is refreshing to see Stewart turn his humor (he is funny) towards the left and at least address some of the hypocrisy of Barak Obama, he stills misses the magnitude of the shift in Executive power.
Bush was constantly portrayed as a dolt or evil genius (depending on the story line) while Obama is just a good guy with good intentions who has been overwhelmed by his new powers. I firmly believe that the collection of power in the Executive Branch was the intention from the very beginning.
We can hope that Stewart will look a little deeper at the motivations of Obama. If he can wake up and see what is happening in the country it will signal a major shift in the strength of Progressive movement. I don’t think I will hold my breath.
At least it is a start. Enjoy the funny:
