Jon Stewart: Obama's Speech Sounded Like Bush
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
It appears the good folks at Comedy Central noticed the same thing that many on the right have been saying for many months: Barack Obama's vision of hope and change when distilled down is actually nothing new. In fact, according to "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, parts of Obama's inaugural address Tuesday sounded like what George W. Bush has been telling the nation for eight years. Strap yourselves in tightly, for Stewart in the video embedded below the fold went where no Obama-loving media member would dare (h/t our dear friend MsUnderestimated): .cc_box a:hover ...

Politics Daily —
Filed under: President Bush, Democrats, Barack Obama Jon Stewart's Daily Show, demonstrating the next four years will be just as ironic, put together a montage of speeches by Barack H. Obama and George W. Bush. Where's the change?

Obama = Bush 3?
The Anchoress —
Oh, the headline is just there to piss some people off, but I was really shocked (and somewhat gratified) to see this bit by the Daily Show.

Jon Stewart's Heresy: Obama Sounds Like Bush (Video)
Tennessee Guerilla Women —
Jon Stewart reviews Obama's inaugural speech and concludes that the cowboy days are with us still. Obama sounds like a cowboy? Obama sounds like Bush? When challenged by the Obama faithful, Stewart laments that he doesn't enjoy criticizing the Democrat either, but what is he supposed to do? Sigh. I know the feeling. Depending on your point of view, this Daily Show clip is hilarious, or deeply depressing. ...

Meet the new boss...
Left I on the News —
and, as Jon Stewart demonstrates, (almost) the same as the old boss: For the record, and I'm not accusing Jon Stewart of this but many others, I if hear the phrase "clean break" as in "Obama represents a 'clean break' from the Bush administration" one more time, I'm going to spit. It has about as much validity as the phrase that occupies first place in the museum of retired phrases, "honest broker." I still have no desire to deconstruct the entire Inaugural address, but permit me to comment on just one phrase which hit me the second or third time I heard it: "Nor is the question before us whether the market is a ...
