    to the woodshed over anything. He really goes after him on the earmarks and pork in the budget. He sides with John McCain. The other thing that I get from this video is that the dude who thinks 410Billion dollars is chump change is what is wrong with politics today.

    I leave Corey to watch these Obama apologists. Those two guests were just pathetic.
    Mathews isn't the only one questioning what's happening. We saw Maureen Dowd yesterday. Today Jim Cramer an avowed Obama backer, let it flow in his Street.com.

    At least some people are looking at what is happening not what happened "during the last eight years."

    This is pretty funny, and sad at the same time.

    :D

    If you don't listen to the other side, you will never understand them.

    Terry,

    I rarely, if ever, miss a Daily Show. I giggled a bit when Jon Stewart referred to 'the tea party rant' as cheap populism as that is by and large the backbone for his own political theory.

    We'll see what Stewart is made of if Obama continues down this path. He's already as guilty as anyone of hypocrisy (in re Bush's first 30 days vs Obama's first 30 days), but we'll see how this goes..

    I thought you'd know what he's made of. You rarely if ever miss his show. :D

    Well he took on Clinton many times, especially as the years went on. He's still a Dem homer and he's not really apologetic about it. However, in the past, he has been willing to ask "WTF are we doing?!?!" So far, he's not been as rough on Obama.... time will tell though.
