Oh that's the take-away on this!

Nice try.

On what basis do you conclude that a Stewart non-fan isn't aware that "it's not the first time he's nailed Obama for something"? Is there something in my post that implies this is the first and only time that blind squirrel has found a nut? Or has never found a nut before?
Are you really "hoping your're speaking tongue in cheek" if so I wonder why that is?
The conclusion that "Obama never said the line" is based on anything more than your search did not return any reporting of Obama speaking those exact words? Is every word spoken by Obama reported and findable via search? If Obama utters a sound that is not reported and not findable via searching the internet can everyone then conclude that that sound he made never occured? If a tree falls.........?
After viewing the clip of Stewart commentary your take-away and point of contention is; what I had assumed any adult would have recognised and understood was, a paraphrasing of LBJ's seminal and iconic reality check moment adapted to the present Obama adminstration circumstance? That such an obvious attempt at irony sent someone off in a flurry of search to disprove something so blatant and inconcequential had not been anticipated, for that I apologise.
