I'd rather have Obama speaking to Putin than Hillary, if for no other reason than Obama has shown he's willing to have an open and honest conversation with other world leaders, and Hillary has said that approach is fallacy. Dan, if things continue to go as they are tonight, I may have to bring them back out. Aisha, I know! Election season is simply not the same without Indecision 2008. I'm watching Stewart now, and while he's still entertaining, it's not the same. I'd like for the strike to be over now, please. Rob, my apologies. I deleted the comment you're responding to because I realized it was actually robo-spam. I don't really know much about Giuliani's mayoral terms, but it really bugs me that he incorporates 9/11 into every third statement he makes publicly. Echoes of our current president and all... Tee, this election is DEFINITELY interesting. I just hope it is ultimately interesting in the direction I like. ;-) Auntie Asma, I think this is one situation where we are going to have to agree to disagree on American politics. :-) I think I've said before, if I truly believed that's what our government's end goal was, I don't know that I could live here any longer.

ROFL! Loved this line. I don't have a favorite right now. Any of the democrats would satisfy me at this point. I'm an independent so I can't vote in the primaries, so it doesn't matter. I'll just have to wait.... This election certainly is awesome though. A bi-racial man with a unique name and a woman, running for President at the same time! I love the Daily Show but I haven't been watching much TV for a few months. The show I'm waiting for is LOST. “but I did not want to celebrate too early, lest Obama suddenly let out campaign-destroying screech heard ’round the world.”

Anyone that lived in the city before then knows he inherited a cess pool and left it safer, cleaner and able to withstand 9/11. Had the crisis taken place before the Rudy revival the ensuing chaos and looting would have been devastating.

He's funny in his own right BUT its just terrible. I feel bad for the Golden Globe Nominees too. I mean okay, its not as sad as the3 US boycotting olympics so trainers can't compete etc because at least the nominees have tons of tons of money... but it is sad that this was their moment to prettify and get up there and cry and thank and its gone. And I saw the Republican debates a few days ago and couldn't sleep. I felt so sick to my stomach.

Certainly not up to his usual standards. But I understand what he tried to do, and appreciate it. And I'm glad you finally put the discs back. Stewart was….mildly entertaining.

Please, Obama patronizing the audience with a teachable moment. If the press scrutinized Obama in the exact same way as Clinton, they'd be wondering if the protest was actually staged to demonstate Obama's equanimaty and conceal his real lack of experience in politics--the same problem I had with our current prez, and he served 1 term as governor. Look, i appreciate Obama's charisma, but when push comes to shove, on so many domestic policy issues any democrat will do. The question is, who can stand up and talk to Putin? Who do we want at the G8 representing our country to the world, not just ourselves??? “Not spinning it to his advantage?” Please, Obama patronizing the audience with a teachable moment.
