Funnies: You Inspire Obama

Jan. 21, 2007 — -- A roundup of the late-night comics.

David Letterman: Bush admitted to making mistakes in Iraq and he says that he has learned from these mistakes and will do better in Iran.

Jay Leno: In her first press conference after her trip overseas, Hillary Clinton said she thinks we may need to send more men to Afghanistan. The men she wants to send [are] John Edwards and Barack Obama -- both those two.

Leno: As you know, President Bush's new plan is called "Way Forward." Now don't confuse that with the previous president, Bill Clinton. He had a similar policy. His was called "Way Too Forward." Way, way too forward.

Letterman: President Bush is going to be talking about global warming in his State of the Union address. He's unveiling his new plan. I believe it's called "No Ice Cap Left Behind."

Jon Stewart: Yesterday, around 9 a.m. East Coast time, you may have heard a noise -- a choir of angels. It can only mean one thing: Barack Obama did something.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. [on tape]: I wanted to tell you first that I'll be filing papers today to create a presidential exploratory committee.

Stewart: And did you hear who he made his announcement to?

Obama [on tape]: I have great faith and hope about the future because I believe in you.

Stewart: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I'm inspiring Barack Obama. First, I was Time's man of the year, and now this! I'm awesome!
