Obama and his associates have often told us that he's too smart to be President of the United States. And assuming that you spell smart "egotistical", they're probably right.
But at Nerd Prom, we are reminded once again that there's a job that he is perfect for. Talk show host.
Obama has been terrible at actual policy, but he could be great at making fun of other people's policies. Jon Stewart's replacement on the Daily Show (widely known as That Guy) hasn't worked out. But you can't be a liberal powerhouse and fire a black guy. Unless you're replacing him with another black guy.
Sure there's been talk of Obama becoming Secretary General of the UN. Great plan. Send a guy who can't stand Congress and rules entirely through executive orders, who can't compromise, into a position where he has no real power, can't rule at all and has to create a consensus. You might as well make Assad into a PTA board member.
But giving Obama the Daily Show would give him a perfect forum for mocking everyone else while pretending that he has all the answers... without any actual power. While the audience applauds like robot seals.
It's the perfect place for a smug liberal to end up.
