No, I would never vote for a Democrat, except for a local candidate, when it wouldn't affect national policy.

John Stewart is no Ronald Reagan! Besides have you forgotten (or did you even know) that R.R. had been a two term governor of California prior to running for President?

Did you just compare Ronald Reagan to Jon Stewart?

I suggest you Wiki Ronald Reagan.

Btw, Stewart had like 11 writers for his show.

I didn't compare him to Ronald Reagan at all. I compared their careers both being in the entertainment field before entering politics. Ya I know Stewart had writers, and he also produced the show, managed a huge crew and did thousands of off the cuff interviews over the years. A person could not watch him four days a week for 16 years without knowing the real Jon and knowing how his mind works. I'd trust him to govern fairly over Cruz, Walker or Trump any day---inexperience in government and all. Although Trump fans discount inexperience these days so forget I said that. IF Jon wanted to get into politics he'd be smart enough to start with a local or state office instead of at the top.

He's not running for president, so the point is moot.

11. 1.5 years as US senator from Illinois

12. spent four years in a Muslim school as a child

13. self proclaimed "poor student"


I think that about sizes it up. And the majority of US citizens elected a man with these "credentials" TWICE!
Well at least you are half right, that has to account for something.

No. He is an actor and a comedian, mediocre at best. The fact that this is even a real question as well as the number of people that rely on satire for "news" , makes me weep a bit inside.

Satire makes the best news because it has to be true,to be funny, but news channels don't have to be true when reporting what they call "news."

I am afraid "completely right" is more accurate.

Who in their right mind would have ever elected a man with so little experience, a dubious past with communist associates, a muslim indoctrination as a child, and no transcripts of his academic record?

Even the most biased, partisan liberals must accept that Obama was not properly vetted, cleared, or prepared for the presidency.

The results of Obama's presidency (which has been determined to be the worst in US history by all of those except far left Obama partisans) suggests that perhaps placing a community organizer, with a dubios past, a Muslim indoctrination as a child, and no executive experience was, at best, reckeless and bordering on lunacy.

Thankfully this moron has only 16 more months in office. Given the damage he has already created, I am fearful as to what he will do when he senses the end of his absolute power will be ending soon.
