Barack Obama goes on the Daily Show and gets tumblr-blogged…
From bbook:
“When we promised during the campaign change you can believe in, it wasn’t change you can believe in in 18 months. It was change you can believe in but were going to have to work for it.” - President Obama told Jon Stewart before a wildly enthusiastic crowd of 550 at the Harman Center for the Arts in downtown Washington.
The 30-minute interview will air tonight on The Daily Show.

Very fair point, President Obama. Also, sweet mug.
Meh, I disagree—if he had meant that, he should have said that. Preach it to us—make us understand what being grown-up is like, instead of pandering to our hopes and dreams like all politicians do. Besides, how much did you promise specifically that you would do but have yet to? There are still troops in Iraq, Gitmo is open, and I read someplace you think it’s OK to assassinate an American citizen just because you think he’s a terrorist? What’s up with that?
