What Americans really want from their President

Check out this video from the Daily Show with John Stewart talking with John Hodgeman (who I swear looks like my buddy Dave) talking about presidentail spiritual advisors. When I was watching there was an actually hysterical line at the very end of the clip, that I almost missed it the subtle humor. (I have it below if you miss it, or dont have 4:07 to waste:



Stewart: Why is it ok for other presidents and even other canddiates to actively seek endorsement from preachers and spiritual advisors who made equally inflamatory statements?

Hodgman: Those were not members of those congreagations, Obama actually went to church for 20 years, listened to sermons, got involved in the ministry. Rookie mistake
Is he really the kind of christian Americans want in the oval office?

Ha!
The JS show is pretty amazing. It has truly brought politics to life and to a young, engaged audience.
Very funny point about the hypocrisy of how we (or rather, politics) treat religion!

Hodgman is a comic genius when it comes to underselling.
