President Obama’s Toughest Interview During 2012 Elections Was On A Comedy Show

White House spokesperson Jay Carney says during an interview that the toughest interview President Obama faced during the 2012 elections was from Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart. Carney said, “if you look back at 2012 and the series of interviews the sitting president of the United States gave, probably the toughest interview he had was with Jon Stewart. Probably the most substantive, challenging interview Barack Obama had in the election year was with the anchor of The Daily Show.” That is a pretty sad commentary on the state of the media when a comedy show has tougher questions to ask the President than White House journalist.
