Whatever the case it should make for an interesting episode. Hopefully with plenty of funny moments.

Actually I think it will be fairly bland. Stewart won't chance offending him and will probably be cloying and annoying.

Doesn't matter what is asked, it won't be enough to sate the political extremist.

In Jon Stewart were to ask Obama, "Did you take political advantage of the economic crisis to push "X" agenda" and Obama sat there dumbfounded like a deer in the headlights the following reaction would likely be:

The moderate- Holy smokes, did he just ask that... seriously!

The Left- I can't believe Stewart would stoop so low, I am never watching this show again

The right- Oh come on, thats it... thats all he is going to ask, what about Obama's secret prisons and thousands of caskets and his affiliation with Bin Laden... I'm never watching Stewart again

Of course for most other folks it will be a light hearted few moments on tv that are forgotten as fast as a hiccup.

Actually, he'll probably throw "funny balls" as it is a hilarious comedy show.

Stewart was pretty disappointed with Obama when Stewart was on O'Reilly. But knowing him Stewart will ask Obama where did we go wrong? He is in the tank for him and like most lib celebs he thinks it's his job to protect and help Obama succeed.

Let me know when Obama goes on O'Reilly, then that should be an interesting interview.

Only if there is a teleprompter telling him what to respond with.

Actually looked more tense than I expected. Kind of sad a comedy show has better interviews than most news programs, as if I didn't know better I could have sworn I saw Obama lower a brow when Stewart asked him about the "timid" result of the Health Care bill
