What the Last Eight Presidents Have in Common

Jon Stewart, on the June 16, 2010 edition of the Daily Show, does a nice comedic piece about how the past eight presidents have promised to deliver an end to oil dependency, though the time frame for implementing the goal may have moved. I'm attaching two embeds of the clip. The first is from the Daily Show website. This is not viewable in Canada (so I haven't actually seen it yet), so I added a second link from Youtube of what I believe to be the same clip, though of poorer quality, and with some editorial addition by the poster. I hope you'll agree that Stewart shows, through an effective use of satire, that this is an issue which transcends party lines, with similar results.

Here is the second copy for those of you outside the US. (As I mentioned, the quality isn't as good.)
