Jon Stewart Tuesday evening absolutely tore apart Barack Obama’s pathetic response to the Gulf Coast oil spill. Early in the almost ten minute segment of “The Daily Show,” the host chided the President’s comments to NBC’s Matt Lauer Monday, “We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers so I know whose ass to kick.” Stewart called Obama’s strategy ” AssQuest 2010 – The Search for Kickable Ass! ” After showing how the President referred to the situation in the Gulf as “complicated,” the “Comedy Central” star then demonstrated to viewers how this is the same excuse Obama has given to solving all the problems facing the nation including the financial crisis and healthcare. This led Stewart to wonder if the President’s favorite movie must be “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. In the end, “The Daily Show” host marvelously concluded, “I’m glad that you are looking for an ass to kick, but right now I gotta tell you, the ass has been kicking you” (video follows with commentary, vulgarity warning): The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Ass Quest 2010 www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party Unfortunately, this segment would be much funnier if it wasn’t so true. As a result, it’s a bit sad given the seriousness of the situation down in the Gulf and the President’s abysmal response. Let’s hope the Administration eventually gets it.
