Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
So does this mean Jon Stewart is finally starting to open his eyes about Obama and the fact that his voting record did not suggest he would do anything different?
At most, I think only 5% of the adult population would need to stop cooperating to have real change.
being in the UK I can't watch that.

ah!, very good sir, much obliged
Good stuff.
It's a beautiful thing when people become disillusioned. When John Stewart becomes disillusioned, it's pretty funny too.
Yawn, predictable.

I highly doubt it. To Stewart it just means we need to hold our socialist politicians more accountable. It's all about getting The Right Peopletm in charge and getting them to set the world right.
The only thing I didn't like about the segment is the comparison of Obama to Frodo.
The intention is to give the impress that Obama was a good, but naive sort, corrupted by power.
I say "Bah".
Obama, IMO, always sought power. Using the LOTR imagery, he's not Frodo, but Saruman, who pretended to be good, but secretly sought power.
Well, we know his progressive base is a little upset with him, but will they really vote against him in 2012? I doubt it.
Who knows what'll happen with him? I've always liked Stewart because at least he was honest and rather open-minded. Who knows, maybe this will be the first little seed of doubt that festers in the back of his mind? The same thing happened to me: Bush's incompetency and corruptness broke me of my neoconservatism--it took years, but it happened. It'll take a while, but this just might be the first step Stewart takes down a new road. Let's only hope that some Austrian scholars are around to point him in the right direction.
Or maybe I'm just being too optimistic? Who knows.
Most likely. He's done stuff like this before, but it didn't make him any less interventionist.
That's a shame. Well, one can always hope.
Naevius: That's a shame. Well, one can always hope.
"Hope" was perhaps the wrong word. I sort of meant the vague, passive "hope" that one always has that things will get better. For example, I hope that inter-galactic travel will occur in my lifetime. Do I think it's likely or even possible? Not really. Do I still want it to happen? Of course.
