Jon Stewart On SOTU: Obama’s The ‘Tax Credit Oprah’

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart on Wednesday took on the best — and worst — moments of President Obama’s third State of the Union address. First, there was the opening line: I killed Osama bin Laden! It was a bit too early, Stewart said. “Does Rick Springfield open with ‘Jessie’s Girl’?”

Good point. But moving on. Tax credits! For small businesses and clean energy. “He’s tax credit Oprah,” Stewart said. “You get a tax credit! You get a tax credit! Everybody gets a tax credit!”

And then that crying-over-spilled-milk line, which fell flat with the Congressional crowd. Stewart can relate. “By the way, as somebody who does comedy for a living: been there! Worst part isn’t the crowd’s reaction, it’s the wife’s.”
