During Sarah’s GOP acceptance speech she introduced her husband Todd as the “First Dude”.
Now, John Stewart is trying to transfer that title to Barack Obama.
Let the battle begin …
In the Daily Show, Obama had a friendly host and an even friendlier crowd.
He was making this first-ever appearance by a president on the Daily Show as part of a long-shot effort to rekindle the spirit of ’08.

“You don’t want to use that phrase, dude,” Stewart recommended (to President Obama).
Dude.
The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief “dude” pretty well captured the moment for Obama.

So, on Monday, the Dem candidate for governor tells Obama to “stuff it” … and, on Wednesday, John Stewart calls him “dude”.
I love this stuff.
