Looks like I’m not the only one…

…with questions about the viability of the Daily Show in a post-Obama world.

From N.Y. Magazine:

Beyond the problem of audiences souring on Obama jokes is the question of whether Jon Stewart even wants to make Obama jokes. Of course, cialis canada there The Daily Show has found ways to goof on the Obama campaign, but it’s no secret that Stewart and his writing staff lean leftward. And The Daily Show differs from nearly all other popular political satire in that the show’s strength is in its writers’ outrage and anger at the powers that be. Stewart memorably described the show’s writing process to Michiko Kakutani as a bunch of “curmudgeons” writing about the things that upset them the most. If President Obama’s administration is the love-in that progressives hope it will be, we think it’s awfully unlikely Stewart’s heart will be in Obama-bashing.
