Jon Stewart to President Obama via ‘The Daily Show’: Wake Up! (Video)
Okay, so President Obama did NOT have his best showing at the first of the 2012 Presidential Debates. Sure, moderator Jim Lehrer could have been more assertive – to wrest control of the event back from Mitt Romney (who was obviously the most confident and aggressive on stage) AND from the President. Yes, yes… all true… unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot count on Jon Stewart to help us laugh about it. Be clear though: As Jon is so skilled at doing, he makes a serious point in the midst of his comical barrage. He made it directly to the President in his own “Samuel Jackson-ish” way… He… well, just watch.
Comedy: Samuel L. Jackson Says “Wake The F*@k Up” & Vote For President Barack Obama (Video)
Hahaaaa! This is Samuel L. Jackson being SAMUEL L. JACKSON. “Wake the F**k Up” is a new political ad from the Jewish Council for Education & Research, a liberal PAC (Political Action Committee). Hilarious! But it makes the point! The ad was written by Adam Mansbach, the same author behind the satirical children’s book “Go the F**k to Sleep,” for which Jackson did a similarly styled audiobook recording (see the explicit version of the “children’s story” after the jump).

Comedy: Stephen Colbert ‘Clarifies’ Mitt Romney’s Position On President Obama’s Supporters (Video)
Hahaaa! Comedy Central’s resident ‘Conservative’ Stephen Colbert goes IN… I mean he ‘helps’ Mitt Romney out of the mess created by this week’s release of video recorded at a private Republican fundraiser in May 2012. Many (read: anyone with functioning eyes and ears) understood the video to be a record of Mitt Romney dismissing President Obama’s supporters as freeloaders and mindless moochers who expect government to provide for all their needs.
Now, what (besides watching the video) would give people that idea? Well, maybe they got it from Mr. Romney himself – stating at a press conference that what folks gathered from the secret video recording is EXACTLY what he meant! The REAL problem is that the message was delivered off-the-cuff; not as eloquently as it should have been stated. Well, Stephen Colbert has stepped in to save the day – redelivering the message in a ‘refined’ manner worthy of the Romney candidacy. Take a look at this Colbert Report clip… and TRY not to laugh. Stephen is a fool. Hilarious!
Politics: Mitt Romney Tells Millionaire Donors What He REALLY Thinks of Obama Voters (Video)
WOW! This is Willard Mitt Romney – raw, uncut, and unapologetic about his disregard and disrespect of nearly half of his fellow citizens! In the vignettes above and after the jump – video secretly recorded at a 50,000-dollar-a-plate Republican fundraiser first published on nonprofit watchdog blog Mother Jones – Mr. Romney lumps all Obama voters into a mass of shiftless moochers who don’t contribute much, if anything, to society. Among other horrible things he goes on to say, Mr. Romney quips that he might have been better off if his dad, who was born in Mexico, had actually been of Mexican descent… you know, to get some of that Latino vote his campaign needs.
Of course, Mr. Romney had to tell supporters in attendance that he could not speak about Obama in public the way he could there for fear of insulting independent voters who sided with Obama in 2008 (whom he needs to have a chance of winning in November). Good thing (for America) there was a “spy” in the room…recording the real Mitt Romney. Otherwise, many of us might have gone on thinking he was a “decent guy” who simply had different ideas than President Obama… with no idea how WRONG we would have been!
Want to know what is worse? That Mr. Romney has FINALLY said what a significant portion of Republican voters believe to be gospel truth! So he CANNOT really apologize for what he said, as he might lose their support (a point Judd Legum of ThinkProgress.org brilliantly made this morning on Current TV’s Full Court Press a.k.a. The Bill Press Show)! Mr. Romney did, however, make an attempt to back-track his awful comments… sort of… not really (read about it here)…

President Obama Hits An Irish Pub On St. Patricks Day (Video)
After leaving Atlanta on a whirlwind visit yesterday, President Obama stopped by an Irish pub in D.C. today & mingled with the crowd for St. Patrick’s Day & even sipped a Guinness in the boisterious Irish pub while he was there.
