Obama on the Daily Show — Better Than His 30-Minute Ad?

Oct 30 2008 - 5:07am by CitizenSugar

Here's the second installment of "the night Barack Obama took over the television." Appearing via satellite on the Daily Show before his 11 p.m. rally with Bill Clinton (so late!) Obama described his big infomercial to Jon Stewart, re-running Michelle's line about his kids being afraid he was taking over all the TV. Stewart asked of the commercial, ". . . Will it. . . annoy us?" Fair question, sir!

Poking fun at some of the scare tactics used against Obama, Stewart brought up the specter of the "Bradley Effect" and asked whether Obama might hit the booth on the 4th and his white half might be scared to vote for him. After chatting for a bit, Obama said, "This is the time to want to be president. . . now is the time when you can have some impact." Obama summed up his visit saying that despite being a "pretty conservative nation, " we now have "big challenges and problems that give us a chance to really move in a new direction." It was a better satellite connection than usual — both Obama and Stewart drew audience laughs and cheers — sometimes that satellite delay kills any sort of comedic timing. What did you think? Was this appearance better than his 30-minute infomercial?

Obama on the Daily Show — Better Than His 30-Minute Ad?

The Daily Show was cute, but I really liked the infomercial — it was the perfect pitch.

The Daily Show all the way. He was relaxed and compelling, the big ad was too much.

Neither! Big deal, he bought an infomercial and was on late night TV. Not interesting.

Both. Each appearance succeeded in its own way and I liked the whole night.

Other. I'll tell you my opinion in the comments.

With a ramped up convention, comes amped up comedy. The Daily Show was out in full-force yesterday, with Samantha Bee interviewing the more creatively dressed delegates. In this scene she was doing a little role-play, pretending to be Bristol Palin while the lovely delegate played Sarah.

Holy Campaign, Batman! Which Candidate Is the Godliest?

John McCain's having a little contest over on his website letting us vote on his new campaign poster. The finalists are up now, check out the top 10 designs submitted by supporters. Fun! But the buzz around the Internet today is over the giant head in the clouds, shining almighty heaven motif of choice #1. Talking Points Memo posted it saying, "it's lucky for McCain that Barack Obama is the one with a hubris problem. Otherwise, this McCain poster in support of his campaign to be elected God might raise some eyebrows. . . ." I giggled.

Speaking of Obama's (perceived! By comedians!) Jesus-complex, last night on The Daily Show, in the segment following Obama's semester abroad, titled "Obama Quest: The Legend Begins, Continues" Jon Stewart mentioned a little side trip Obama had to make to Bethlehem. It seems a certain manger from a very early point in his past needed visiting . . . watch and see.

Holy Campaign, Batman! Which Candidate Is the Godliest?

McCain. That's a poster for a Sunday School wall if I ever saw one. Hear the angels?

Obama! Come on. Born in a manger. I don't know what other proof we need he's holy.

Sorry. I'm too busy building my Ron Paul shrine to trifle with your crazy fake-God poll.

Other. I'll tell you all about how silly this is in the comments.

Barack Obama: Is America Ready For an Un-Funny President?

George W. Bush may have his critics, but comedians should not be among those eager to have him leave the public stage, especially if the un-funny Obama becomes president. Bill Clinton's womanizing, Al Gore's monotone persona, and George W.
