"The Daily Show's" Obama Bio: The Lion King, The Messiah, The Son Of A Goat Herder (VIDEO)

On Thursday night's "Daily Show," as the official Obama biography video was screening at the DNC, "The Daily Show" aired a hilarious biography video of their own. It is set to music with a booming narration and full of tag lines.

"The earthly son of a goat herder and an anthropologist, one man seems ready enough-ish to lead...."

Brilliant!!!!

[bakersdozen]

Come November, you and your backward, antiquated attitudes and childish resentments will be made entirely irrelevant. You'll be left behind. The rest of us will move forward into a better America.

It was a funny joke! Who do you think this makes fun of? Obama's Critics. The Republicans have already mocked Obama as the messiah.

[thoughtsoutloud]

I bet BO himself would love that one, well done as always Daily Show!

[LeftVetPatriot]

Might be funny if The Lion King weren't the most r a c i s t kid's movie ever.

[UpandSincere]

You've apparently never seen a 'house-fly'...

I think we all want to live on Pange-Obama though.

[Brainspore]

You mean that movie where the heroic lion was voiced by black actor James Earl Jones and the evil one was voiced by white actor Jeremy Irons? Yeah, the Klan must love that one.

I adore the Daily Show, but I don't find it funny at all and I won't say much more about it. It's a shame, it used to be one of my favorite shows. Oh well, more reading I suppose.

What? Liberals who aren't taking any of this Obamania seriously? That's a first. One of the best videos to come out in this election. http://mespace.wordpress.com

I'll try to keep this simple. To all PUMAs:

If you decided on Hillary for policy (as I did, and contributed, too), and now you want to vote for McCain, the issue for you is RACE. Period.

And everyone knows that. Your family knows about your character flaw. Your co-workers know about your character flaw. The posters on this blog know about your character flaw. EVERYONE knows what kind of person you are.

Look in the mirror MUCH? Paranoid MUCH?

Did you see the BLACK woman on CNN after Hillarys speech? A crying, emotional BLACK Hillary supporter? She spoke for all of us and NONE of her comments had to do with race.

You are just keeping the divide going.

Signed..a Hillary supporter who will now vote for Obama because the Clintons are right. We HAVE TO.

[indyleftist]

Did the black woman on CNN say she was voting for McCain?
If she didn't than she is not the people the poster was talking about'

Its not people who supported Hillary. Its people who supported Hillary primarily because they are scared of Obama. Like the PUMA people

That's no way to win friends and influence people....Speak for yourself but don't include everyone else in that kind of talk....If the voice of reason doesn't convince people to vote for the candidate who will benefit all of America and not just the wealthiest, then leave them alone and try using your passion in a more positive way - volunteer, help get all voters registered, proudly wear an O'bama/B'iden teeshirt in public places, etc.

Which candidates story is closer to the American Story.

Obama - minority, pulled himself up by his bootstraps and helps his community before finding himself leading a country in turmoil ala Lincoln

or

McCain - the son of privilege who cracked like a walnut in Hanoi, has "close" ties to lobbyists, and doesn't even remember how many homes he owns.

If this were the founding of America, and you didn't know, which one would you think was a Royalist and which one would you think was a patriot?

[funnyman26]

We need that to show on primetime... Who can help get the message out?

[MouthFountain]

That was good!

[Eric8869]

Hilarious! I hope they do one for McCain too!

[TrooAmerican]

I WISH MSNBC WOULD CONTRACT THE ENTIRE DAILY SHOW CAST & CREW TO A 1 HOUR PRIMETIME 6 DAYS A WEEK SHOW ON MSNBC.

[ruffmama]

yes!

[wolfgangmo]

But they are not a news program.

Which means they would fit in nicely on Faux in a way.

[westreal]

Good idea

[TrevorAlan]

1/2 hour's probably perfect for what they do. And I miss them not having cable, but it is best they are on a COMEDY network, because even as the masters of political satire, they are still COMEDY. John S. is the first one to remind people of that.

Bravo!

[moonejes]

Go Barack!!! The Lion King.

[hrholmes]

BRILLIANT! I havn't laughed so hard in years!
