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. Was that interview subterfuge?? Jon, stop being so disingenuous, people think you are the real news, now grow up and start acting like them... ;) Oh wait... were you tossing softballs or being ironic? Can't tell for sure.

    Since these posts brought up the finger, look at the photo included with the waffle story... you decide about finger pointing...

  4. I think that Obama did a great job last night. Some people forget that Stewart runs a comedy show and that poking fun is part of the deal when you sign on.
    I thought the chemistry was great and I'm here to say that every time I hear him speak I get a new sense of hope that courses through my veins and makes me feel proud to be an American again. I have not felt so proud for almost eight years now. Thank you Daily Show!

  5. Yes Jon, Primanti Brothers is alive and well in the city of Pittsburgh! There are five locations in the City of Pittsburgh, one in the Oakland neighborhood, just a block from where Barack was speaking yesterday.

  6. Just to add to that Laura M. Hillary was on the daily show in the same way the night just before the Texas primary. So now both candidates have been on the Daily Show on the Eve of a state primary. Even Stephen.

  7. Jon pronounced primanti's totally wrong! You can't say it without the Pittsburgh accent. Repeat after me Jon, "Pra-man-ee's".

  8. Just a word to those who have commented that they're "disappointed" The Daily Show had Obama on the night before the primary vote: They couldn't have had Hillary on, because she was on every other show/channel/outlet/nook/cranny/media orifice, including Larry King & Keith Olbermann, both of which were in prime time & thus would have gotten way more viewers than the Daily Show, which is later. She was even on Good Morning America this morning. The woman has been fucking ubiquitous for the past 24 hours, so she's gotten more than enough press. God Bless Jon Stewart for giving Obama a little face time. And bloody good interview, too!

  10. i just dont get how we all know that hillary isnt going to win the nomination yet we are tearing the democratic party apart while we are at it. Everyone is saying "oh well if she doesnt win Pennsylvania, she needs to suspend her campaign" but doesnt that mean she's in trouble anyway. Doesnt it mean that she cant WIN NO MATTER what. i mean she needs to win every state by at least 20% to catch up but shes gunna loose REALLLY BAD in North Carolina and indiana and that makes her need to win the remaining states by 50% which isnt going to happen.

    obama 08!
