It shouldn't be surprising that as Barack Obama's approval ratings have dipped (Real Clear Politics average of 45.6 percent), the liberals at The Daily Show would start turning on the public as ridiculous and fickle. On Thursday night's show, they turned the tables on the polls, and Wyatt Cenac talked about the other opinion measure that is sinking: "Obama’s approval ratings of us."
Stewart played along: "I was not aware actually that they measured that." Cenac replied: "Oh, yeah. Let's look at the numbers. At present, Obama only approves of 26 percent of all Americans. That’s down from a high of 79 percent and that's across all demographics." The skit continued:
STEWART: We're down in all --?
CENAC: If you look at the figures he is looking more askance at Hispanics, definitely Asian American have gotten under his skin, Jews driving him nuts. Blacks are still all right.
STEWART: What about, you know -- I don't see his approval of white males there.
STEWART: What happened? How come he doesn't approve of us anymore?
CENAC: I think it goes back to the 2008 campaign when the american people were energized. They turned out in record numbers. Made cool obama posters, music videos.
STEWART: You think during the campaign the american people may have overpromised.
CENAC [getting faux-angry]: Overpromised? During the campaign there was a sexy woman in a half shirt singing about how she'll follow him anywhere, how she has a crush on him! What was he supposed to think? She's hot! You can see he’s very disillusioned. I hope you’re happy. I hope all of you are happy.
