RELATED: President Obama’s 2013 State Of The Union Address: Full Video And Transcript
Stewart first took on Obama laying out the grim realities facing the nation today, remarking “who’s running this shithole, right, people?” He said Obama laid out an America that resembles an “Applebee’s-laden dystopic hellscape.”
But what really set Stewart off was Obama’s declaration that there are “70,000 structurally deficient bridges” in the United States. Stewart demanded to know why he didn’t just open with that and just shout right off the top, “THE BRIDGES ARE DEATH TRAPS!
During one of the hydration gags, Stewart applied some chapstick that he quipped made him look like an “aging French whore.” He also found the 102-year-old woman Obama introduced to be “the most adorable woman” ever; so adorable, in fact, that she should be a Monopoly token.
But one thing Stewart couldn’t let go was Obama’s claim that he has been open with Congress about the controversial drone strike program. Stewart called him out, saying that last week members of Congress were requesting quite a bit of information that the administration has yet to provide.
