Indecision 2008

So, the Daily Show did a little piece on Barack Obama's recent comments in Pennsylvania regarding elitism. Honestly, I can see them as functioning as a rather harmful audio snippet against his whole campaign but Jon Stewart and crew shed some light on the larger issue at hand. Are Presidential candidates elitist? Absolutely! I've often thought about the fact that running for President means that you're a total egomaniac who believes their ideas are the best. That isn't to say they are terrible people but certainly a different mindset than the majority of us.

I do find it interesting that Barack will probably have to seriously step up to the plate to defend those comments while Hillary comes out and openly admits that she lied about her recent comments on her experience in Bosnia. Yet she's not catching serious flack for openly lying and saying "oh yea, sorry about that."

Overall, politics are exhausting to keep up with and include a huge amount of ridiculousness - fortunately places like The Daily Show help to expose that absurdity. Via Zea.
