The Daily Show Correspondents Get Barack-O-Boners
Rob Riggle, Larry Wilmore, John Oliver, Wyatt Cenac, and Ed Helms are all really excited to see Barack Obama in Iraq.
With all the focus on Senator Obama's trip to the Middle East, is the media too Obama-centric?

Wyatt Cenac's piece on Jews in Florida last night was classic anti-Semitism. After African-Americans, Jews are probably Obama's largest constituency proportionally. Cenac made it look like all Jews hate African-Americans based on his small sample of clearly addled senior citizens. Where I come from, New York, there is hardly a Jew who will not vote for Barack Obama. Shame on the Daily Show for airing this smear piece.
Hey, Osminog, if you can't take a joke, just stop watching. The blatant stereotyping was the whole joke. Besides, if you need help finding an old Jew in New York who won't vote for Obama for reasons other than policy, I've got a few family members I'd like to introduce you to.
I would like to thank That Daily Show for not airing the anti-Semetic newsreel from our deli here. Last night, at breakfast, it was all we could talk about before Mahjong. There are plenty of us who will vote for Mr. Obama. We like all schvatsas and it was unfair stereotype us.
Shalom,
Saul
Who?
McCain't?
Has anyone noticed that McCain resembles a 70-something George Costanza? Just watch the clips with the sound down – especially when he's waving his arms around. It's hillarious!
Maybe if you guys just turned down the volume and overplayed a little Jason Alexander, folks would watch the old guy a little more and he'd get some more media coverage. I know I laugh so hard I cry just thinking about this when I see McCain on the tube….
Cheers!
Wrongo! Don't you think it is a little unfair for every news center but fox to be voting for Barack Obama and when fox shows a slight pro-McCain vibe and a slightly less positive go for Barack Obama that every news company and network that can get a shot at fox takes it.
I agree McCain was there when jesus was born, and was old then. Yet can you all do me a favor and shut the F*** up about any state that's not going for Obama being a racist state. Maybe they just don't want gas so expensive that, even if the medicare system was fixed, they can't drive to the hospital because the gas tax along with the initial rising cost of gas has left them unable to use "ecofriendly" car in their driveway.
So when I say I'm not going to vote for Barack Obama it's not because I'm a racist, its simply because I actually, and I mean REALLY took a look at his policies, and not just the color of his skin and how well he speaks in public.
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS OVERSEAS — MAKING FOOLS OUT OF AMERICANS!
He is trying to impress them with his “DIRECTED” show trip and “PRE-WRITTEN”, “PREPARED” “SPEECHES” — like the one in BERLIN today.
WHY ISNT’ HE HERE — TRYING TO TELL AMERICANS WHAT HIS PLAN IS? WHY IS HE TRYING TO IMPRESS EUROPEANS? THEY CAN’T VOTE FOR OUR PRESIDENT — OR CAN THEY?
WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING NOW? HE DOES HAVE TIES TO TERRORISTS OVERSEAS.
Just remember — he is carrying with him enough cameras to “ACT and talk pretty” and 300 advisors to make him TALK, WALK, AND ACT carefully. Obama is just a political puppet!
VOTE NO TO ALL DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER AND HELP SAVE AMERICA!
Obama keeps insulting Americans intelligence!
WAKE UP AMERICANS!
JOHN McCAIN is THE REAL CANDIDATE — he thinks, acts and behaves very presidential and knowledgeable BY HIMSELF — NO 300 STRINGS attached AND hundreds of BIASED MEDIA CAMERAS!
Fortunately, Sen. Barack Obama, a christian, writes his own speeches. Unfortunately, I see you do, too. May I suggest to you, East Coast, that you actually research Sen. Obama through LEGITIMATE sources, not the fear-mongering extremist right-wing conservative talk shows and blogs that invent and twist the truth, rather than repeat ACTUAL facts.
It appears even members of the German press are unabashed Obama supporters, according to CNN:
But nobody in the German press appears to have been quite as smitten by their visitor as Bild reporter Judith Bonesky, who had the opportunity to work out with Obama in the gym of the Ritz Carlton Hotel earlier in the day.
"Obama (with toned arms and a strong back) puts on his headphones for his iPod to listen to pop music. He hums quietly. Then he jumps on a fitness bike. He pushes three times on the pedals — but then can't be bothered with it.
"He picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left.
Quickly I ask: "Mr. Obama, could I take a photo?". "Of course!" he answers, before asking my name and coming over to stand next to me. "My name's Judith" I reply. "I'm Barack Obama, nice to meet you!" he says, and puts his arm across my shoulder. I put my arm around his hip — wow, he didn't even sweat! WHAT A MAN!"

Osminog, Jon Stewart is a Jew. I'm pretty sure they don't have any "Secret Agenda" about the Jews. I think they were just trying to make of Old Jews. How is it any different from what Jon Stewart does at his desk when impersonating an old Jew? This time they're actually talking to them. I'm not sure if those Jews were addled or not, but even if they were, it's just making fun of the fact that alot of Elderly Jewish Folks don't wanna vote for Obama, because of stupid things llike his middle name or his possibly "Muslim" religion. Or maybe the fact that he's black, I don't know. The point is, The Daily Show has always been an all including show. I mean, Stewart sometimes publicly says his support for Gay Marriage Unions. I think they're okay. If you want to find some real Anti-Semitism to be outraged about, stop by The O'Reilly Factor. He actually photoshopped a picture of a Jew by making his nose and ears bigger. A same tactic use by the KKK in the 1920's. That's some anti-Semitism right there.
