Obama Says Summers Did 'A Heckuva Job' - FoxNews.com
I find this very interesting that Jon Stewart (a very liberal person) didn't swallow Obama's bull crap and pinned him down on Comedy Central last night.
I am sure that some TV stations that are fair will show the video of Jon's interview with Obama.
Obama looked very uncomfortable and I am sure he won't be back to Central Comedy any time soon.
Got to give kudos to Stewart for his interview of Obama last night. Was pleasantly surprised that he didn't allow this to be some softball campaign stop for the Democratic party. He (Stewart) asked some tough questions and took Obama to task when he responded with platitude style answers.
In all fairness, Obama did a decent job for his part also. Got some tough questions/points thrown at him and fielded them admirably. (he may have been pre-informed what the topics would be, but he didn't have a teleprompter or fumble/stutter his words....)

It was a good interview by Stewart, which is painful to say for a few reasons, but nothing and I mean nothing will top him being on Crossfire. Those poor bastards there didn't even know what hit them.
Yea, I thought he did a great job the other day when he had Eric Cantor on for an interview.
It is sad that when I watch clips from the Daily Show and go damn that is a good interview, why can't the cable news do stuff like that.

Stewart must be WAY far left if he thinks what Obama has done in office can be described as "timid".
It's kind of amusing to see that Obama *IS* the last laugh. When a comedian calls the president of the US "Dude" you just know that Obama is well on his way to the scrap heap of history.
Judging by your response, I can easily conclude that you don't tune in often. He interviews people from all sides of the spectrum and treats them all the same. One of my fav interviews was with Condoleezza Rice a few weeks back.
Just one example, healthcare. We didn't do single payer, the most "liberal" form, we didn't even get a public option, which is very popular among liberals and independents, we got a few subsidies and are requiring people to take care of themselves by buying their own healthcare plan. What was passed is strikingly similar to what Republicans proposed back in the Clinton days to counter the public option and has been argued by many conservative Republicans as a conservative measure because it requires people be self sufficient and take care of their own health insurance.
The people that think he is some raging Marxist/communist/socialist that has destroyed the country with his policies have watched to much Beck.

I find it funny after reading your post that you're accusing me of "not actually saying anything of substance". My claims aren't ambiguous. I'm going to simply lay them out in an easy to read format for you and you can go and research them to your heart's content, but until you ask me a specific question rather than just standing there with your arms crossed and mumbling "really? I mean really? Hmph, well... uh... Really?" there's not really much I can do for you dude. And thank you for noting that I sound intelligent.What, you thought no one would challenge you on this? Are you for real? You couldn't even begin to back up any of this nonesense you espouse. There are so many ambiguous claims here you would have to frist start by being specific. But.. Maybe that was your plan all along, you know, sound like I know what I'm talking about, but not actually say anything of substance, and hope no one pays attention to me? Well apparantely you were thanked 6 times, so someone was paying attention. I wonder if they actually read what you wrote and understood it, or just thought it sounded sorta intelligent?
Please clarify you comments with specificity, so we can really see if you know what you're talking about.
By the way to the OP. I thought the interview was also fair, and Stewart is a raging liberal Jew, of course timid is his reaction to Obama's admin.

A Qualitative Analysis of the Heritage Foundation and Pauly Group Proposals to Restructure the Health Insurance SystemIn order to guarantee universal health care coverage, everyone would have to obtain insurance, either through a government program or from a private insurer, on their own or through a family member. The states would be charged with enforcing the mandate and would have to arrange coverage for people who did not do so themselves. The minimum insurance would cover "catastrophic" health care expenses--that is, those exceeding $1,000 a year for an individual or $2,000 a year for a family. (Those amounts would be adjusted for inflation after 1997.)
To help make the coverage affordable for people who did not qualify for Medicare or other government programs, the proposal would establish a new, refundable tax credit that would depend on a family's health expenses as a percentage of its income.
