Jon Stewart has poked fun of President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, reports the Huffington Post. Jon Stewart, ripped apart Obama’s new video during his satirical ‘Daily Show’, paying particular attention the clip’s lack of vigour, reports the Huffington Post.
In comparison to Obama’s inspirational campaign videos of 2008, the latest effort from the President features “seemingly exhausted supporters” who in Stewart’s opinion don’t seem to like or trust him. The 48-year-old said, “How do we go from Yes we can to You know, whatever?” Obama based much of his successful 2008 campaign on the idea of creating transparency and accountability in the White House, however, he failed to invite the press to a recent awards ceremony in which he was receiving a ‘transparency’ honour. Stewart joked, “When you were running for the White House, you wanted to know what the White House was hiding. Now you live in the White House and you want everyone to stop being so f***ing nosey”.
As well as hosting the ‘Daily Show’, Jon Stewart is also a writer, stand-up comedian and actor. He hosted the 78th and 80th Academy Awards and is also the author of two best-selling books, ‘American: A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction’ and ‘Earth: A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race’.
