Obama faces vets, Jon Stewart amid concerns over Iran, VA
Jon Stewart returned from a short “Daily Show” hiatus with a new gift from the comedy gods – Donald Trump’s most recent scandal, this one involving John McCain not being a war hero. At 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, he will attend a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser.
Jon Stewart is leaving the “Daily Show” desk at Comedy Central on August 6.
Brushing off his “chest-beating” critics, President Barack Obama accused opponents of the Iran nuclear deal Tuesday of being the same people who rushed the USA into an ill-fated war in Iraq.
“And f*** cancer survivors too”, Stewart impersonated the presidential candidate.
Yet Obama also says the deal will leave the next president better positioned to deal with Iran if it cheats, including the option of a USA military strike.
The White House did not announce when the segment with Obama would air. Last week, the VA said it is unable to count how many veterans died while waiting to sign up for health care, and said it may have to close some hospitals if Congress does not address a $2.5 billion shortfall. The White House said in the past, lenders have exploited loopholes in the regulations and targeted military members with exorbitant interest rates. “We went to a place that I think a lot of people would have perceived to be a friendly environment, and he got chewed up pretty good”. “The patron saint of topical comedians who are just running out the clock”, Stewart said, later admitting, “I so love this man”.
