Okay what I am about to say is fact because I say so. I am the Omnipotent power of the Patch, therefore I only need "because I said so" to back me up. It works as being MOMnipotent too.
America is made up of people I agree with, people I almost always agree with, people I seldom agree with, and what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about people AKA stupid people.
Jon Stewart is in the first category. I agree with him 99.999% of the time.
President Obama, Former President Clinton, and pretty much Former President Carter are in the "almost always" group.
Jon Huntsman, Orrin Hatch, Jim Matheson are in the seldom because I can count on one hand the things I agree with.
I think naming names in the last group is beating a dead horse, or Fox, or bulldog with lipstick, ya know?
So Jon's rally:

It's slated as non-partisan but there are some disagreements as to the truthfulness of that claim. One thing President Obama has NOT achieved is to bi-partisan cooperation, but that's not Obama's fault. I've seen very little effort made by Democrats AND Republicans. Stewart is no holds barred on calling out Obama when he's wrong and he's expressed his approval of McCain in the BP years (before Palin). McCain can DO bipartisan, but he hasn't since his defeat. Here's the problem uber-conservatives have with Jon Stewart: He uses big words and they need a dictionary to look them up. The words that he uses that they DO understand are usually bleeped. I think intelligent Republicans are watching. Why wouldn't they? Stupid people are fairly lost causes so they are pointless.
So here's President Obama's thoughts on the rally:
Seems a bit hypocritical to call out Fox news et al while showing approval of Jon Stewart. Here's where the distinction is: Fox, MSNBC, CNN, etc, are 24 hour news channels. The Daily Show lasts 30 minutes. Colbert too, but I'm not a fan.
In any case, it will prove to be interesting. I wish I could attend, but I'd be booted for my inability to use my indoor voice when I'm irate!!
Update to Trump Era Newcomers
Until I understand this EU Cookie law better I will leave Google's complimentary notice that this blog uses Blogger and Google cookies. These include Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.
Also, I feel that I should warn that this blog was started in the style of and in response to the toxic commentary of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I don't mince words and the people who cannot see common sense in my words or are deliberately uninformed may not like the way I express myself. I moderate comments because I have had stalkers that posted filth in response to my religion. I'm not afraid to post conflicting opinion comments but I filter threats and inappropriate language comments.
This comes in response to the Trump Era. May it be shorter than 4 years. =)
