This is actually the show in its entirety. Obama’s interview starts at 10:12.

Obama took some subliminal shots at Hillary when Jon raised the issue of experience vs inexperience. “When people talk about experience,” says Obama, “what they really want to know is, ‘Does he have good judgment?’ And you hope that when one has more experience it gives them better judgment. But everybody knows a lot of 50-, 60- and 70-year-olds that don’t have good judgment…”

Sounds like he’s referring to Hillary who’s obviously in her late 50s and voted in favor of the war (bad judgement), whereas he opposed it from the jumpoff. He also reiterated one of his favorite crowdpleasers: “Nobody has a longer resume than Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and that hasn’t worked out so well.”

    I actually missed this episode, and I’m a fairly consistent watcher of both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Good looking out.

    I think the major parties will always be around. But you’re right, people are losing faith in them moreso than ever.

    People are really hung up on the “experience” thing. Call me a cynic, but Obama beating any of the republicans just wont happen. I hope Im wrong about that.

    HHF: I don’t think Obama’s people are as worried about the GOP candidates as they are about the primaries. The man has an illogical task before him–beating H.C. in the primaries.

    Thats definitely what I’m worried about. It’s tough to beat Hilary in the primary because Dem’s love her. But she cannot win against the Republicans because basically ALL REPUBLICANS HATE HER.

    If he gets out of the primaries, he’s got a great shot.
