Mr. Stewart, speaking publicly to Barack Obama:
“Congratulations President Barack Obama… [on the removal of] the last arrow in your pro-government quiver: skepticism about your opponents.”

It would seem that he got quite a cheer from the audience. If this is the number one late night show, perhaps this is a pivot point in the consciousness of the main stream media’s customers.
Unfortunately, Mr. Stewart is still dismissive of the Benghazi incident cover up. Maybe he’ll come around…
I am open to hearing your thoughts on this one. Please leave a comment!
