Jon Stewart On Obama’s Second Debate Performance: ‘It’s Alive!’

Jon Stewart

Introducing a segment on Wednesday on this week’s presidential debate at Hofstra University, Jon Stewart wondered which version of President Obama would show up. Would it be “Sleepytime McGillicutty,” like the first debate? Or “Pretty Talk Jones”?

After President Obama fired off a few retorts, it was clear: “It’s alive!” Stewart said. “President Barack Obama decided to attend this debate. And the candidates could finally have a truthful, substantive discussion about how much they fucking hate each other.”
