Okay - I must be just totally obtuse here because I just don't get this Daily Show Obama segment. It doesn't come across to me as a funny irreverent skewering of Obama - as I think they were probably originally at some point shooting for - instead it seems more ugly feeling racially tinged trash.
I get that they feel they are doing something clever, ironic and satirical constantly pushing the Muslim thing (even at a time when it's fading as i topic of discussion) - but in the middle of this piece, which was constantly making crude racial references - again i get that they feel they're being smart and cute with all this... but i dunno - it really doesn't seem to work for me.
Not much of a diary but any thoughts.
