Stewart mocked Obama for qualifying the fact that his administration had "fumbled" the law's rollout by acknowledging that he's "not a perfect man" or a "perfect president."
"That wasn't the slogan you campaigned on," Stewart said. "I think when you campaigned, you were all, 'Yes we can!' I don't remember the other slogan" of "Pobody's Nerfect."

(10,942 posts)when they should have KNOWN that they needed to flawlessly implement it, I develop a slow burn of disgust. I am not happy with the President or his Administrators for the ACA, in particular Sebelius. So I can see where Stewart is coming from, the Administration created a problem that it could have prevented with better management of the roll out. I am just a regular citizen that dearly want the ACA problems to get fixed and the system exceed even the wildest expectations. Stewart is a Satirist whose job is to poke fun at fuck ups. Even though I wish that Stewart would tone it down, he is doing EXACTLY the job that he does.

(12 posts)When Stewart started to become Joe Sixer's go to for news he ran a series of commercials that said, in exact words, "Stop Doing That!".
He became the de facto pundit because nobody else was doing the job, but it was never his goal.
Good for him, getting back to the show's roots, making fun of whoever deserves it.
