Barack Obama on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - How Did He Do?

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

Barack Obama's last television appearance on the night before the Pennsylvania primary was on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.   After a few rough weeks on the campaign trail including a vicious debate on ABC, will his appearance on The Daily Show be enough to push him over the edge in Pennsylvania?

 Various polls say various things, running up to the primary, so the question is, will his appearance give him the advantage?   Was it enough that he put to rest the rumors regarding his white slave trade plans?

How do you think he did?



Also, yes, Primanti Brothers appears to still be open.

  1. Dear Jon,
    The finger, thank you. I have been redemmed. Back in 79, I gave the finger, just like you did tonight, to my entire school via the school television news. I spent the next period hiding in the bathroom and by third period I had 3 days suspension and became- "that girl who flipped off the school." At my 10th Reunion, people still asked me about it. It angered my mother, but my brother, ever so wise, advised me to try Radio, as I could give the finger all I wanted. My broadcast career was over at 17!!!
    Thanks for the great show. The redemption was soul-clearing and I can't thank you enough.
    Now that Colbert has done Philly, you should come "home" and do Trenton, the War Memorial would be a great place to stage the show. Visit old haunts, City Gardens, Rossi's, Widow Watch, Franklin Tavern, Don Youngs.

  2. Will it help him win, who knows for sure ... but it's definitely time for a change! Check out this music video that sums up the last 8 years of the George W. Bush Administration.

  3. Jon, you're great! And Obama is the best! Can you believe that Clinton put out that Rove-Cheney-Bush type try-to-scare-you-into-submission ad with Osama bin Laden?!? Unbelievable. Sure wish you'd do a bit to shame her on that. No matter who you're for, that type of behavior is so what we need to change. And, Jon, thank you so much for what you do for America!!

  8. i'm a west coast obama fan, and i cancelled cable a few weeks ago, so i'm waiting for your website to post the clips. it's either obama or mccain for me. then we can get a real woman democrat, kathleen sebelius, in 2016. i think that too many republicans registered as democrats for this pennsylvania election to be close. whatever the polls say, add another 5 points to clinton's victory.

  9. JON!

    Primantis is delicious! And it's open 24 hours! and it's delicious!

    but, just so you know, it's pronounced 'Per-man-ees'.

    just so you know.

    It isn't a big deal, but it's kinda like if I went to New York and asked for directions to 'Green-wich Village'...
