Jon Stewart doesn't know what Obama believes in, calls president's health-care plan a 'clusterf---'

Some quotes from a new Jon Stewart Rolling Stone interview:

“[A] lot of people wish” the President would “take the gloves off a little more,” Stewart responds that Obama’s “problem is not his lack of passion. It’s his lack of direction.”

“I still don’t know what he [Obama] believes in.”

“Maybe that’s my biggest issue with [Obama]: I’m not sure what he truly thinks is the right path, other than that he believes the wealthy should pay a little bit more of their fair share.”

[H]e’s sure the President is “pleased with what he’s done,” but adds: “I would have preferred to see something a little more transformative.”

Obama’s health-care plan a “2,000-page clusterf-k.”

“You can blame the intransigence of Tea Party Republicans all you want, but Democrats had a chance to pass a budget before they lost the midterm election. “They didn’t do it because they were afraid that those votes would cost them the House,” Stewart continues. “They had the ability to avoid the entire f-ing thing. And they didn’t do it, out of cowardice.”

“CNN.” He says the news network’s “idea of clarity seems to be … grits without salt. It’s just all mashed up - there’s no direction, under the guise of ‘integrity.’

“CNN feels like an opportunity squandered.”
