Barack Obama Is Cliff Huxtable: "Daily Show"'s Wyatt Cenac Compares The President To Bill Cosby (VIDEO)

In a brilliant segment from the "Daily Show"'s Senior Obamaist, Wyatt Cenac, we finally find out who Obama really is. The mysterious and popular president is, in fact, the lovable TV dad Cliff Huxtable from the family sitcom "The Cosby Show." As Cenac points out, both men are married to hot lawyers, both work out of offices on the West sides of their houses and both have unrealistically cute daughters.

The comparisons don't stop there--they're not just surface coincidences! Both men like hosting jazz musicians in their homes, inviting Stevie Wonder to appear with them in public, and beating girls at basketball.

What does this tell us about the president that we didn't already know? "The Cosby Show" ran for eight seasons--that's two terms! Also, Obama may, at some point, replace one of his daughters with a less cute cousin or something.

It was pretty uncanny - the parallels are amazing. What strikes me is that Obama probably does not know the show - it wasn't the stuff of young men's viewing back then. Cosby though - he did set a standard for family love and interaction. VERY funny to see the comparisons and the outtakes mimicking real life today!

I still laugh at Wyatt's piece on Swedish Socialism, and how every woman he met on the street was hotter than the last one. LOL.

[wltdnfaded]

"People of Sweden, wake up! You're living in a socialist hell!"

Cenac is the most unfunny Daily Show correspondent I have ever seen.

He sucks.

[wltdnfaded]

Well, you know what they say about opinions, dude...

[TheOuroborus]

Way back in election days, I dared to make the same comparison in a New York Times comment column and got slapped down as a heretic. Sweet justice.

I wonder if Bush was Magnum P.I.. Maybe there's a connection between Cheney and Thurston Howell. ... Could someone find any remote similarity between Biden and that guy from Green Acres and write an article about it?

I wonder if people are going to start thinking, before they, think.

[dengal]

magnum pi? not even close
try red skelton, wait red was smart and articulate....
bozo?

[Vixter]

You forgot the 'N' - it's Bonzo, as in "Bedtime for Bonzo". You know, Reagan's pet monkey. Just like dubya & the rest of the neocons - Reagan's pet monkeys.

[LMPE]

I've only seen one episode of "The Cosby Show", so I only loosely understand the connection.

[danonchalant1]

What did they convict you for? (That is how you ask people why they went to jail?)

[FearlessFreep]

THE COSBY SHOW was overrated.

[boston2008]

Nice.. very nice. I actually laughed out loud at this mild comedy skit. very nice & light.

[Pleneras]

Daily show is usually funny, especially with Wandering McCain during the debate, but this was not funny at all.

[Roopez123]

Actually, Obama is Bob Newhart, McCain is George Costanza and George W is...

[LeftLeanWing]

Mr Ed was the smart one , Bush was Willllllllllburrrrrrrrrr

[Winston Smith]

Cliff Huckstable wasn't a real person. Just a TV person. daaaaaaahhh!!??

[Vixter]

Are you just realizing that?

[wltdnfaded]

Wow, can't get anything past you, huh dude?

[ashman73]
