1. "Night and day" doesn't cover it. n/t

[Muttocracy]

2. interesting - but shows its all about reading between the lines. nt

[bjobotts]

3. critical thinking is always necessary, no matter the politician.

[FrenchieCat]

4. That's because Steward took excerpts of Obama's speech out of context

Like in reference to not apologizing for our way of life, Obama also said....

"And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it."

[TheEuclideanOne]

5. That John Stewart guy must be a Freeper

Boy, the nerve of making those comparisons!

[AsahinaKimi]

6. Maybe the diffrence is..

One talks a good game..while the other has a great game plan and will
put it forth and it will work. The last 8 years has been EPIC FAIL.
But, Not this time. Never again!

7. Very funny stuff!!!

These guys are a delight.

8. Loved it when Jason Jones threatened to throw his shoe at Jon Stewart.

But ya know I did think Obama's inaugural address was heavy on the cliches, and lacking in poetry. It did not rise to the level of Kennedy's inaugural. Some quotes from Kennedy's:

"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world."

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

"And, if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved."

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

"My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

9. Get used to it. While Jon's job has been made much easier by Bush,

As strong a Democrat as Jon is, he is a stronger patriot. He will parody us as mercilessly and as appropriately as he ever did the other side. I think he's going to work a lot harder, but hell, we've still got Pelosi, Reid and Lieberfuck. You know there's plenty of parody there.

10. I LOVED the cheese analogy - SO TRUE!

[loudsue]

11. "When you melt cheese on Italian food, it's delicious, but when you melt cheese on

Chinese food, it's dusgusting"!

:rofl: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Loved it!!

[HopeHoops]

13. I really had never thought of it, but MAN is that true!

[Stinky The Clown]

12. "I take hope that when Obama says these things ..... he doesn't mean it."

Anybody have any popcorn?
