Jon Stewart compares and contrasts Barack Obama’s version of the presidential seal to the real deal in this “Daily Show” clip and takes aim at the presumptive Democratic candidate for his declaration that he won’t be drawing on public financing for the home stretch of his bid for office after previously suggesting otherwise.

Come on Cantarella, he is not even close to perfect. I would settle for HONEST. He can not even muster that as he lied about the FISA bill. He sold us out and had no problem doing so. As for a tough job, ya and being dishonest only makes it harder. I do not trust him or his word now. He is just like all the rest and has proven that. His new sloagan is OBAMA, JUST ANOTHER LIAR

Obama’s not perfect but he’s close enough. He’s got a tough job ahead of him.

You know, a lot of people knock American comedians as unfunny. But you’ve got a handful of really good ones.

Obama is FAR from being “the superior candidate”. He is a different candidate. You must realize that both the major party candidates blow out loud and neither one of them are good for our country. For any REAL change to take place, the PEOPLE need to take back control of this country. Why should we only have 2 choices for president? All of the “best” candidates are weeded out before the Public even gets a chance to vote for them. By the time a candidate gets to where he is eligible for the presidency, his soul has been bought and paid for by too many special interest groups for him to care about the Public. I repeat: There is NO DIFFERENCE between McCain and Obama. Neither one will help the Public at all.
Impose term limits on ALL of our representatives and America MIGHT have a chance to be a real democracy. We are right back in the age of robber barons where business rules America.
Wake up sheeple!

Bravo, JS, for shooting both ways.
Obama is clearly the superior candidate on every criteria, but he’s not perfect and it’s great that we can take the mickey out of him too.
