Jon Stewart mocks Democrats for ignoring Obama’s successes as GOP wins with no policy (VIDEO)


This skit by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and Jordan Klepper is painfully funny. They are pretty much mocking Democrats for losing an election by ignoring President Obama and the Democrat's successes.

It is in fact sad that these candidates ran away not only from Obama but from policies that are working and making their constituencies' lives better. Their consultants should all be fired.

It is true that the 'Liberal Media' is biased against the President and Democrats. This is illustrated in how pre-election coverage ignored President Obama's successes as it highlighted the lies of the opposition. However, this is no excuse for not engaging forcefully to dispel fallacies and defend a strong successful and accomplished outcome.

Before the election Bill Maher excoriated Democrats for their timidity on running on Democratic successes. While Republicans ran on Hope and Change with no specific policies, Democrats mostly ran on their fear of voters fear of President Obama.

55 straight months of growth in jobs in the private sector, 4 1/2 million new jobs created from 10/2009 till today, stock market is near an all time high, the budget deficit has dropped from $1.3 trillion in 2009 to $483 billion this year, interest rates are still near 40 year lows, and inflation is well under 2.0 percent. All in all, things are so much better than when he took office!!
