While it might seem difficult to overstate the problems facing President Barack Obama, Jon Stewart noted Monday that members of the media have proven quite capable of providing hyperbolic analysis.

“Hurricane Katrina? Yes, I believe we’ve all seen the damning photos of the presidential flyover surveying the human suffering of the HealthCare.gov website from a safe distance,” Stewart said.
