Obama's Daily Show Interview (VIDEO)

Barack Obama continued his media blitz tonight with an appearance on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Obama's appearance comes on the heels of his half hour long infomercial which ran in prime time tonight on several major networks, as well as some cable networks. Watch clips of Obama from his interview, including the candidate conceding the "Sean Hannity vote," and how Obama has been undergoing therapy to ensure that his white half doesn't prevent him from voting for himself.

On Wednesday, when Obama has been elected, everyone who voted for him should wear or display an American flag. Let's show them who the "real Americans" are! Let's take back this country! Please pass the thought along to all your contacts and we can have a national display.

[PeaceOnEarth62]

Thank you. We will be flying our American flag.

Stand up!!

(and Puhlease stop with the soviet and commie pinko posts as seen below already! Who do you the haters think they are? Archie Bunker? Jeez, Edith!!!)

[babygeo]

Great Idea.

[Dots]

OBAMA is one beautiful human being.

[natureman]

You should vote for him for that reason... and his nice teeth.

[plwood01]

While Obama is a fine man and a fine looking man, that is not the reason that his supporters are voting for him! We are voting for him for the future of our own children and grandchildren to have a better life than the one Bush/Cheney/McCain have offered us up to this point in our lives. Just because they have been in office and done some things which by the way were all the wrong things, does not mean that we have to keep them in office. Like an employee who one suspects does not believe in the company mission statement, they are free to leave the job or we can fire them for the good of the company. The negativity that these people engender in everything they touch is the reason for the firings...­nothing personal, just business..­.and they work for those of us who think that their services are no longer necessary.

Obama represends a legacy:

Abraham, Martin & John:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge32xtm23rQ

[baznyc]

Actually, I don't want Sen Obama to be part of that legacy.
Maybe, as far as transformational ideas, but not how it turned out for them.
One of my great fears, with all the hate on the right, directed at Sen Obama, is that someone is going to take him out, if he's elected.
Too often, it's those with the bigger vision of the World, and that speak of unity, as opposed to division, that are the ones that are prematurely taken from us... Bobby Kennedy, & Rabin in Israel, to name two others.
So, no... I'll pass on Obama joining that legacy.
Just let Sen Obama, if he wins, do good for America & the World... and live to see his children grow into adults.

[PeaceOnEarth62]

I'm with you on this.

[thismachinekillsfascists]

Did he say "treehuggers"?

Treehuggers for Obama!

[editrix66]

I am having an election night party, and I am trying to write a prayer for us to say for the new president (I hope for Obama, of course). I figured there might be something more eloquent than I can write. I am not conservative, but every time I search for a prayer online, it has conservative overtones. Has anyone seen anything or written anything? Thanks.

[liseworks]

No one can guess what it is specifically that you'll pray for, for Obama - I'd suggest write a prayer yourself, one that comes from (specifically) YOUR heart.

[editrix66]

Thank you. They are all beautiful.

[shellyamber]

(to whomever you give your prayer to for answering.­..)
Give President Obama the strength, wisdom and abilities to bring this nation together, to restore our respect and to protect your Earth. To reflect, in his actions as our President, honor and respect for humanity and encourage human dignity. To serve all Americans and to serve the world as an extension of America as we are all brothers and sisters in your eyes.
Give us, as Americans to stand firm with him.
Amen.
ps....
And Lord, if McCain/Palin wins this election, Armageddon outta here!!!!
(hint hint)

[Halfandhalf]

Beautiful, shellyamber! Good going!

[dbarberdem1]

What a beautiful prayer!!..­..I hope it is prayed throughout this country next Tuesday and beyond!!

[blondecuban]

This is a Science of Mind prayer (not Scientology). State it in the present so it is be in the present.

God is all there is. God is the one power and the Source of all there is. God is everything.
As such, I declare that God and I are one. God breathes and I breathe. This is my truth, so I know that is is also the truth for Barack Obama. I know that Barack is made in the image and likeness of God, God breathes and Barack breathes. I now speak this truth for Barack Obama. I know that everything is in divine time in the mind of God and, as such, that Barack Obama is President of these United States in this now. I know that Barack is guided by the God the lives through him and is him. He is divinely guided every day to make he right decisions for this country: decisions which are right, just, and take into account the well being of its citizens and this planet. I know that since God is everywhere that Barack is always protected, safe and healthy. I give thanks to God for everything that is Barack Obama’s life including him winning the Presidential election, his health and ability to govern with a steady, mindful and just hand. I release my word knowing that it is done in this now. And so it is. Amen.

[plwood01]

Use the word itself, there is no need for anything else! To guarantee the best outcome keep God's word instead of making up something else.

[barackobama4prez]

we are having a great party for our local sheriff's re-election (first black sheriff elected in this county 4 years ago) and also Barack Obama. I'm so looking forward to election results locally and nationally. 5 more days!

[plwood01]

The 23rd Psalms should suffice...­we used that on the nights John, Martin, Bobby, Malcolm, Medgar, etc., were killed. We also used that uring the Vietnam War protesting. Jeff Majors recorded it and they played that all day on 9/11 on the radio, I was on my way to Atlanta from New Jersey and did not know about the bombing until around noon, do you remember that! It would be perfect to recite or play during your party...go­od luck, wish I was there too! Peace...an­d Victory to us all!

[The Lorax]

I'm a tree hugging environmentalist polar bear lover! Thanks for thinking of me President Obama! Yay, I finally matter too. 8 long years of me not mattering.

Barack is funny and I adore him. i cannot wait to be able to officially call him my president.

[liseworks]

What a great post - you're among many who feel the same way - !

[marymansour]

Ditto!

[DannyEastVillage]

yah i''ll sign on to that!

[The Lorax]

I didn't realize how much I missed the days of the Clintons and Gores. They spoke up for me, then I was silenced for 8 years. Years which I took to writing to Bush and the lost EPA to please consider the environment and animals roles in it more, and how important it all is to the way we exist here, to no avail.

[andvoodoo2]

Did you know that Palin has a lawsuit against George Bush to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list so that they can hunt them and take their habitat in Alaska?

[babygeo]

Yes, she does. She nneds the fur for clothing, she doesn't have enough new clothes she can where back to Alaska where I hope a polar bear who had relatives shot by the Plain possey, has a heart to heart with her.

[The Lorax]

Yup. Trust me, I know much about her. I have followed her career for a few years based on environment and animal rights (i am one of THEM, Sierra Club, NRDC, Oceana, Greenpeace, yeah I am a member of those groups), so when she was annouced as VP candidate I freaked.

[The Lorax]

i forgot to mention, listing them on the endangered list also makes it hard for her to drill babay drill in ANWR. We have leased land to drill on that will have less impact, drill there! But no, she wants to destroy ANWR. She wants less hunting (for sustinence - food, clothing) for natives, to boost her sport hunting numbers, same as her view of fishing. This woman is insane. She seems to not only have disregard for nature and animals, she seems to h a t e them and enjoy their demise. She's a big hitter in the "lets ki l l wolf pups after mu r dering their mamas" and "let's offer up money for freshly severed front legs of wolves", cuz those d@mn things eat (for survival) the animals I want to ki l l for fun. How dare they! And how much of a person are you when you hunt from a friggin copter to run down an animal until it's too exhausted to go on? She makes me ill and has no regard to the delicate balance of ecosystems and life as we know it and my children will know it. She cannot be in the White House. Case closed! you have no idea how deep this topic strikes me!

[iranter]

now that was friendly

[scottbee]

has anyone seen the video on the

Sarah Palin Bedroom Stimulus Package

[dbarberdem1]

ohhhh...th­at was gooood!!!!

[DemocracyinTrouble]

These quotes speak for themselves.

“He has lost his brand as a maverick; he did not live up to his pledge to fight a clean campaign,” Shays said. (Republican Chris Shays on John McCain)

"McCain, on the other hand, has been nearly 100 percent negative.” Shays said. (on regards to campaign ads)

"The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush. --"Meet the Press" interview, June 19, 2005

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008

[plwood01]

Interesting comment here, read the latest "Twenty Years of Censored News," you will find out a lot about what has happened and why. I got that from my undergrad class in Economy and Political Power. It has changed my thinking and my life for the better. You will no longer believe anything that you read or hear unless you research it yourself. That is another reason why I went into psychology and research as a profession. The author is Carl Jenssen.

[SecondBase]

Anyone who wants to be president in the future better be taking notes now.

[iranter]

more like start panhandling at the busy intersection. you will now need a billion dollars to get elected!!!!

[odoreida]

Maybe not.

Compare how much McCain spent to get the GOP nomination with what Obama spent to get the Dem nomination. Compare how much McCain spent, with what Mitt Romney spent?

Then consider what the spread in the polls might be now if Obama and McCain had spent the same amount of money.

[LITU]

Then one can conclude that McCain will NOT be elected.

Maybe his unelectability has more to do with the fact that his strategies are straight out of the PNAC playbook, and we all know where that has gotten us.

[plwood01]

I think that that is one reason that a poor person will never again be elected like Abraham Lincoln for example. Without all the cash Obama would not be in the position he is in either. Sad state of affairs for a country that was founded on "country first." This is exactly why we have the situation we have been in for 8 years. While Obama is a much better candidate being a highly educated person, Bush got into office based on money, money gives one power, power corrupts, absolute power (like being President), corrupts absolutely! Obama coming from a poor background and being supported by the little people moves us back in line to recoup the vision of the founding fathers in regard to the Bill of Rights and Constitution as they knew how society could work back then.

[tomfl78]

The infomercial was not great Obama never said how he was going to pay for everything i was voting for obama up until last night

[Graz]

L I A R

[DCinFrance]

Yup, pretty much my call too.

[davidinaustin]

yeah right.

[Georgia1992]

tomfl78, young and pitiful.

[Harry Scrote]

Derrrrrr..­... You lost your head, when all you have to do is go to BarackObama.com and discover this yourself. But you let your head be swayed by "what ifs" on an infomercial. Get real.

[faith]

The infomercial wasn't meant to be a stump speech Tomfl78. It was meant as a reminder that America's issues are about jobs, health, the future. Obama was getting the campaign back on track in direct opposition to the republican diatribe-offtrack.

[somefool]

I like the Daily Show, but if O had really wanted to take a chance, he would have done the Colbert Report. Now that would have been interesting.

[Utopian007]

Michelle Obama went on Colbert's show. He was very sweet to her.

[Highwind]

He did go on Colbert during the primaries!
