Jon Stewart and the Obama Barbs

Is Jon Stewart a 'crypto-neocon' who is just now starting to reveal his true colors? Not likely. But it is revealing that he's starting to poke at President Obama, reports The Washington Post. And as a "pop-culture bellwether" his quips are creating a buzz and just one more sign of the uphill battle the President faces right now.
 
The left's honeymoon with Obama ended long ago. Liberal commentators, including Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz, have taken shots at him for being too cautious or compromising on various issues. But there is something about a comic caricature that is indelible. ...
 
We've all seen Jon Stewart fire his comic bazooka, against Tucker Carlson on "Crossfire" and Jim Cramer over CNBC's financial coverage. With Obama, he's merely using a popgun. But given Stewart's platform, even that has quite an echo.
