It's on my 'to do' list.

It's TeeVee for fucks sake. What do you expect? What does the show even 
claim to be?
I don't watch TeeVee so I can't comment on the program but if it is on 
TeeVee that really should tell you all you need to know.
I'm pretty sure 'piss scared' is a poor characterization of most people 
here on the Obama issue but I doubt I'll change your mind on that.
Anyway Obama may be leader of the most powerful empire on the planet and 
Jon Stewart is a comedian. That should tell you where I stand on this 
'issue'.
