"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...."

All the Palin comments are closed for some reason, so why not here? Choosing her as VP is perfectly Rovian, compelling womyn who put their hopes in Hillary to vote for the Republican ticket so a girl can have a turn playing with the ball, a vote against their own interests. Deliciously diabolical. Let's hope she's as crooked as Stevens - if only we had an honest press to look into that.

Jon Stewart was brilliant as always.

[Criticalthinktank07]

I agree! it 's more of a ploy, or a tactic, than an actual commitment to the country. He's just doing what he feels he needs to do to get votes. To hell with what is best for the country. I find it odd that a man who has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the progress of woman is using a woman as a pawn to gain the woman vote. Absolutlely ludicrous!

[bongogirl]

MCSAME HATES WOMEN, and he thinks he has found an EQUAL TO HILARY with hopes of winning her supporters. HOW STUPID!! McSame's choice is more about him winning, than for what's good for America. DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ARE GOING TO VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!! MCSAME IS is AN ADULTERER who disrepects ALL Women. BUT, I give him credit for marrying WEALTHY and a BEAUTY QUEEN. HMMMMM. Cindy the beauty queen helped McSame forget how his first wife's appearance (disfigured) after the car accident. AND, Palin is a BEAUTY QUEEN TOO. JOHN, you are my kind of guy!!!!!!!!!

Sara Palin is currently under state investigation, for abuse of power.

Sarah Palin, the 44 year old Governor of Alaska, is under investigation to find if she fired Alaska’s Public Safety Commissioner because he refused to fire Mike Wooten, her ex brother-in-law. Mike Wooten who worked as a state trooper is divorced from Sarah Palin’s sister.

Vetting is going to HURT the Grand Old Perverts Party.

That article was originally posted on AUgust 1st, but was updated a number of times. not sure why. But thats why the comments were closed.

Palin is pretty. She'll shallowly get votes just for that.

But she has less political experience than Barack's years in the state and federal.
Her State's two senators are being indicted and she has deep connections with them so im not so sure this was a sly pick.

[HBeachbum]

Actually, being governor of Alaska (and her other past government positions) gives her MORE experience than Obama. Governor trumps Senator every time. For the Dems to bring up her inexperience is hilarious.

John Oliver's description of pundits as engaging in "inane douchebaggery" is a phrase for the ages.

[marymansour]

As a long time Obama supporter, I loved seeing him likened to the lion. My daughter always says Obama has lion cub ears. Great satire.

[synergie]

the ears on the baby lion-obama were my favorite part of the whole thing :-)

[Freesia2]

The person whose reaction I would love to watch to videos like this or the JibJab jewel, is Michelle.

Obama is going to be an incredible President, and we supporters see him that way, but the fact is for her - he's her husband. Many of us have one of those. If my own husband went out and brought world peace or solved the energy crisis, the country might be justifiably impressed. But I would always know that he's also the guy who leaves his socks on the floor and that cabbage...does things to him. ;-)

I'd love to know what Michelle thinks of these funny little digs at her Barack. I imagine she gets a kick out of them.

[jkpcguru]

That was great!

[ImpalaSuperSport]

That was very funny!

[TroubleNYC]

You could tell not everyone in the audience found it funny. Come on folks. Gotta laugh!

[formerprosecutor]

I couldn't quit laughing. A brilliant parody, which as an Obama supporter, I took as compliment. As the other poster stated, I cant wait to see the McCain version. Seriously though I think Obama IS the lion king! A new wind will blow through our country; just like the Kennedy years.

[jewel4Obama]

I like the show but I think their stories have been really stupid this week.

[marymansour]

Stewart can be quite silly when he is feeling his oats. Fortunately, this is often matched by sheer genius. .

[Seven7s]

HILARIOUS! Loved it...I wonder if I'd have laughed if a republican did this? Probably so...

funny..

[Gma11]

That is absolutely delightful!!

[littlepuffycloud]

I can't wait to see the piece they do on McPow...

[lynnn]

Did you know McCain was a POW?

[petsounds]

John McCain was a POW? He served in Vietnam? REALLY?????

Why hasn't he said anything about it?????????

[Freesia2]

Get outta here. You're making that up. :-)

[filo]

It's TRUE!!

Pissed Off Warmonger

[davidly]

Shh.. that's being kept a secret so that no one starts rumours about his being a sleeper.

[Banji81]

RRRRRREEALLY???!!!

[marymansour]

I can't wait to see Stewart's take on McPOW's veep choice. I will be glued to his show tonight for sure.

[uheardme]

Ok, its just a little funny.

[lynnn]

McCain couldn't laugh for 5 years as a POW.

[LeftVetPatriot]

Now THAT's funny!

[brownpolyester]

It's funny because I because it's true. Just wait, McCain will say that if things get bad enough for him.

[Hirnlego]

Well he's a goofy person now and there's already one in the whitehouse, god knows how he found his way over there.
