This Daily Show spot pokes fun at Obama’s Inaugural Address for containing rhetoric similar to that of former President Bush. (Ah, former President Bush.)
Yes, Ha Ha and all that. But seriously, the worst thing we could do as a country right now is to decide that the ideals of freedom and democracy, and the forceful opposition to terrorism, belong to Bush, that we as progressives do not speak of such things. What Obama did was to redefine these lofty ideals in his own terms, rather than abandon them altogether. It was exactly the right thing.
