Colbert Taunts ‘Obsessive’ Obama Supporters With Loaf Of Bread

Stephen Colbert

President Obama is counting on supporters to be “almost obsessive” during the last leg of the campaign if he hopes to eke out a win. But Stephen Colbert on Tuesday said he worries the president’s allies might actually be “obsessive compulsive.”

Addressing the president’s supporters directly, Colbert urged them to vote for Obama — “after you’ve found the loaf of bread I’ve hidden in your house with the heel taken out, reversed, and then put back in two slices in.”
