V…  the new Daily Show?

“Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy."

So, does that sound like anyone you know?

Oh, wait -- did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who's come here to eat us?”

Hahahahahahahah!  Eh?  Is this entertainment or politics?  Well, it makes a point of sorts so politics it is!

I still have not watched an episode but doubt I put too much into it our OUT of it.  I just want to be entertained… Jack Bauer for Prez! <grin>.  That said, this show isn’t anti-Obama, the original series used some of the same plot points also.

As mentioned, I’ll watch this show… hopefully soon
