Jon Stewart: ‘President Obama Is Apparently Now in the F— It Stage of His Presidency’

Jon Stewart had to cover the State of the Union Address without seeing it — but he still made do.
The “Daily Show” taped Tuesday
before Obama delivered his speech, but aired soon after the speech
ended. So Stewart shared a few predictions/recollections — remember that
thing Biden did? — before explaining that the State of the Union
doesn’t matter much anyway.
He predicted that the address,
Republicans’ responses to it, and commentary about it be condensed into
six-second Vines. Then he noted that last year, Congress acceded to just
two of the president’s 41 requests — raising the debt ceiling and
re-authorizing the Violence Against Women Act.
So Obama has decided to govern
through executive orders, bypassing Congress. Stewart called it “the
most auto-erotic form of governance” and suggested that Obama was
cutting out an entire branch of government — essentially giving up on
getting Republican lawmakers to do anything.

“President Obama is apparently now in the ‘f— it’ stage of his presidency,” Stewart said.
Accordingly, in lieu of a Bucket List, he has a “F— It List,” with items including, “force pets to sign up for Obamacare.”
