Meet The Depressed — Obama's kryptonite cuts to the very heart of the administration's failings at a presidential economic town hall.

After fielding questions from a jilted Wall St. executive and a young lawyer who can't afford to pay his student loans, Obama was hit hardest by a middle-class, African-American woman who frankly said, "I'm exhausted of defending you."
It turns out, the woman behind this reasonable critique is not just a middle-class wife and mother, but also a chief financial officer of a veteran's organization, a powerful combination that Stewart considers an "Obama zapping machine."
"A black, lady, financial analyst veteran?" Stewart said in disbelief. "We have found Obama's Kryptonite."
Then, in true 'Daily Show' fashion, Stewart used footage of Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign to show what Americans such as the fed-up woman at the rally were promised, and followed up with clips from the last two years where he defers or denies the ability to follow through with those same promises.

Nobody does it better than John Stewart, but when are we going to get the expose behind the expose? Americans remain clueless about how things really work in their nation's capital, the real power brokers are putting on a light show behind a small curtain, and if Toto didn't notice, we would all remain mesmerized by our own defeat.
I have to agree, Obama is still trying, but at what point are we going to take a long and hard look at his opposition, because that is where the voice of the American people can and should be heard. It is not enough to vote in a president whose ideals reflect our own, we have to stop listening to the lying, stealing and cheating rhetoric of the Republican party and vote their worthless asses out....far and wide. Tea party politics represents the same level of manipulation that got Bush into office. He told them all he was a Christian, and then proceeded to authorize some of the most heinous policies ever to come from the oval office. Time to clean house. Pay attention to how these assholes who claim to represent you are voting, and get rid of them. Read the bills, pay attention to the small print, vote with your head, not your rear end. That is the only way the American people will ever get their country back.
