Jon Stewart: Obama Campaigns With Rhythm, Governs Like An Old White Man

video
» 29 comments

Last night Jon Stewart weighed in on President Obama‘s post-election trip to East Asia, expressing both skepticism of the motivation behind the trip and mockery of Obama’s dance moves. Yes, many thought it cool when candidate Obama danced on the set of Ellen; but dancing with Indian kids celebrating the Hindu holiday of Diwali at a local school in Mumbai? Not so much. Oh fickle punditry, easy to deride a man down on his metaphorical mojo.

    Why do liberals have such a propensity for racists statements against “white people”? Its almost like they think the more racist they are against whites, the more “progressive” they are.

    Jon Stewart bores me!

    Only the young people “think” what this guy says is important.

    Like most reverse racist whiners, you have no sense of humour. All previous presidents were White men. President Obama is governing like all previous presidents. Therefore, President Obama is like a White man. If I were you, I’d stick with someone humourless, like Beckerhead, Bill-o, O’Kelly, O’Hannity or O’Hannity.

    BTW: Stewart is right. As so often he is.

    I’m not young, and I am convinced that Stewart is America’s most important television personality. You can actually get much more news from Stewart than from anyone on FOX “News” or MSNBC. A bunch of bloated ideological or partisanzealots, each and all.

    … or Dennis Miller. He is humourless, too.

    I’d be more curious why people through around a word like “racist” when its clear a statement wasn’t racist. Governing like an old white man is not a racist statement. It does not show any preference for race. It also does not show hatred or intolerance for white people. What it does do is stereotype, which is different than racism.

    Whats “reverse” racism? As far as I’m concerned we’re all humans with an equal rights. Why do you put whites in a separate category than everyone else?

    I’ll tell you what it is. Its a term made up by racist liberals to divide people.

    Who do liberals use “old white men” or “angry white people” or any of the other phrases they use to suggest there is something negative about being white?

    So I guess being on welfare like a black person is just a stereo type, not racism? No, its not? I thought not, just another liberal double standard.

    There is nothing negative about being white. It has simply gone OUT OF STYLE. The country it is a changing.

    Who do liberals use? I don’t know who do. Why do they use it? Perhaps because they wish to create a stereotype of the all politicians as being a group of old, angry, white men. Stereotyping, while never 100% accurate, is effective and is easy to do in politics. Its the same reason people on the right stereotype liberals as tree-hugging, socialism-lovin’, Chavez cheering loons. Racist? no.

    It is a stereotype, but stereotypes and racism as you illistrate are not mutually exclusive. If that stereotype about black people is refering to black people inherently being inferior to all other people, then yes its racist. Saying that someone governs like an old white person, is not saying that white people are inferior or superior in their governing abilities. No liberal double standard, just judicious application of the definition of racism and stereotyping.

    I figured as much, that is why I answer the question as if you asked, “Why do…”.

    The young have been spoonfed from our schools and universities. When they get out in the world and see what is going on, when they pay lots of taxes and watch the politicians tell them they do not know how to spend their own money, but the politician does….things change.

    Kids are not grownup’s…I know high schools like to convince them that they are…but I sure know different…I’ve arrested many of them for stupid things that they did.

    Yes, kids are out future…but do they have a clue how to navigate there….not really. Time helps though!

    The King says he was in Navy JAG during Vietnam, which means he must be in his seventies. Give the old timer a break.

    This was so funny!
