Jon Stewart to Bill O'Reilly: 'I Thought Obama Would Do a Better Job'

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 23rd 2010 07:40AM

Jon Stewart made his much-anticipated return to 'The O'Reilly Factor' on Wednesday and went head to head with Bill O'Reilly, who dug into Stewart's opinions on President Barack Obama. "Do you, Jon Stewart, have Obama remorse?" O'Reilly wondered. Stewart reiterated the seemingly anti-Obama sentiment he's been making on 'The Daily show' lately. "I think people feel a disappointment in that there was a sense that 'Oh Jesus will walk on water,' and now you're looking at it like, 'Look at that, he's just treading water,'" Stewart responded.

O'Reilly pressed further until Stewart admitted, "I thought he'd do a better job."

"I've been saddened to see that someone who ran on the idea that you can't expect to get different results with the same people and the same system has kept in place so much of the same system," Stewart explained.

Stewart said the problem with the President is that "he ran as a visionary, and he's led as a functionary."

Talking about his planned Oct. 30 'Rally to Restore Sanity' in Washington, D.C., Stewart noted that it would last from noon to 3PM and its war-cry would be, "We're here but we're only here til 3: We have a sitter!"

Back from WHAT?! We're in the worse shape we have EVER been in thanks to 8 years of a Republican President and a Republican Congress. While I'm disappointed in Obama, NO ONE could reverse this horrendous situation in such a short period of time. Go back to the people who put us in this mess...I think NOT.

By Pat McIntyre

Linn............how stupid can ONE person be.
Are you THIS ignorant in ALL of your affairs?
Our republican Congress is Trash....
You truly are a liability to the World and this great Nation.
God help us with primates like U.

Linn, if you are suggesting we go back to the party that put us in this mess you are dellusional. These are the same people that have tried to block President Obama at ever turn. That does not help this country, it hurts it. He has tried to work with the GOP but has gotten nothing in return. He continues to try and that is what is making progressives upset. They want him to ignore the conservatives. I give him kuddos for trying to do as he said he would and I give the conservatives a big F for blocking him even though he is trying to get this country back on track. So much for country first! And if you think Sarah P. has the brains to handle all the is required to be President, well then I bet there is a bridge to nowhere she can sell you.

I guess Gary like most liberals don't htink we have poured enough "BILLIONS" into the public school system!!! Liberals are great let's throw more of your money at the unions and they will do better!!! You dopes it took "that idiot" Bush 8 years to screw it up!! It only took your idiot 18 months to eclipse Bush, who's the real idiot!!!

By Nico Toscani

It makes no difference who wins this or any other election as long as we're stuck with a "two party" system. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

This is what happens when you let ignorant people vote,,the educational system is non-existant and the end product is a population that needs someone else to tie their shoes,,suffer the consequences in Nov, when we will see a repeat of voter fraud and the same lunatics are allowed to vote again and you know the same ignorance shows up at the polls,,God help us!!!!

Gary, your grammar, punctuation and spelling may prove your point as to why the Tea Party people follow Palin. Blame it on failed education.

By jeff

He's not sorry he voted for the Pres He's disappointed that he hasn't stayed true to his liberal ways. Barack has went center with his policies.
Could you imagine what would have happened if McCain/Palin would have won...You think it's bad now!

By Gary

I sure wish I could have found out. Instead, look what your group has down to this country. I know, you don't have to pay for it.

Jeff if I didn't have grandchildren I would wish and pray for this order: President- Palin; V President Sharon

By joan

I did not vote for now President Obama and I am a life long Democrat. I felt he did not have the political experience to run for the position at the time he did. He had been in politics too short a time to run the entire country. I wish Colin Powell would have run, It think he would have done a very good job as President of the United States. Mr. Obama is learning a tough lesson and I hope he has enough sense to not try and run again. He is not strong enough even yet. Too bad, he and his family seem like truly nice people.

Next barbra will be admitting b.o. is a total loser.

By Jim

We will clean up half of congress in Nov and get rid of the rest of the trash in 2012. Congress is not a full time job but the Dem's and Rep's think it is. People can blame all the problems on the Republicans, but the facts are simple......the problems we have in America belong to both parties. Clean up time is starting Nov 2nd, 2010.

Jim, you plan to fix this mess with the people running with the republican tea party? God help us

By krowpowr

I didnt vote for Obama or McCain.In my opinion there was not a leader for my country in either of the candidates that ran.I love my country with all I have and I am a little worried what direction we are going.

By JF

I wish Jon Stewart would run...

I voted for Obama, and I too am disappointed; however, I think we would be worse off had McCain/Palin won the election. There is no way that Obama could have cleaned up the mess Bush left within 4 years, especially with the amount of opposition he has faced since winning the election.
