Union Irony and Obama's Kryptonite

So I'm catching up from two weeks of The Daily Show, and I wanted to share two top tier clips.

First, a surreal piece on unions using non-union labor to protest wages.  The highlight is the fake sign at the end that says "Better wages for people demanding better wages"

Then there's this very well done piece by Jon Stewart on Obama's town hall:

Yep, more classic Jon Stewart. No matter what your politics are, you have to admit he's got a great way of skewering hypocrites across our society and laying bare their utterly ridiculous B.S.

He hits it out of the park on a regular basis.

There's people who have said things like Stewart/Daily Show only attack Republicans or Republican ideas.

These are perfect examples of how he'll take the skewer out to people on both sides.

He's frequently said that it's the hypocrisy and corruption that he dislikes more than the individual ideas, and both parties practice that in spades.
