12:13 pm
a handsome trustworthy fellow but it's far from just the leidy's appreciating the humor for the first time a sitting president has appeared on stewart's show just a couple of days before the midterm election democrats this year seem to be running on. please baby one more chance. in the same poll stewart won the number one spot obama didn't even make the top twenty with tens of thousands of americans if not more headed to jon stewart's rally to restore sanity this weekend the fight for truth in media and in politicians is moving almost right into the homes of the political elite and even those stewards denies being a man of politics there is this idea out there that comedians do not have a personal political agenda but as one i can say that we do if the comedian were to push his agenda forward the most trusted man in america would have his followers
