I mean... duh. :-D

Wisdom, intelligence, humility, bravery - he is the embodiment of all values that we hold most dear in this great nation.

(Question: Is this okay to ask a "leading question" in this community? Answer: since this is mainly a test post meant to get us started, I will ask a counter-question: why da fuq not!?:-P)

Because he's a Green Lantern.

Oh is that why. I prefer to think of him as not having special powers, just that he has become what any of us could, if only we were to put in the effort to do so:-P.

I'm not a rabid Stewart fan, although I like him. But he's one of the people I'd happily vote for if he ran for President. I feel like he's got what it takes to be a good leader - even if he has writers who produce his material, he obviously knows how to hire the right people to get the results he wants, and that's IMHO one of the critical skills of POTUS.

That would be AMAZING! Sadly, I doubt he will ever run - it is a maddening job, and he is arguably too humble. Also, his role is legit different, in pointing out to us the way that we should go and the problems faced in society, though he (like me) seems to have little clue how to actually fix them:-(. But damn, if he told me who to vote for... 😉

There is a type of person who looks great on occasional TV appearances, but gets annoying if you have to see and hear them everyday. I think he fits that description.

"He" = also his team of writers, so really I have no idea who he is. But I love his show so very very very much nonetheless:-). Ofc part of what he portrays is an act, but dayum is it a good, wholesome one!:-D
