It sounded like a prank at the time — on the night of Sept. 11, as news emerged about the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and an assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, word leaked that President Obama would appear the following week on “Late Show with David Letterman.” Certainly he’d cancel in light of the deaths in Libya, right?
Today, “The Daily Show” has announced that Obama will make his sixth appearance with Jon Stewart on Oct. 18. Yes, this Jon Stewart:

We can see the attraction. Will President Eye Candy bring a gift basket to his gracious host? Will Stewart lead with a question on BenghaziGate?

Obama: national security issues keep me on a need to know basis but when Jon Stewart calls to have me on the daily show, patch me in.

I hear Obama's going to be on The Daily Show. I wonder what foreign leader he had to blow off to book that gig.

Hey, he doesn’t just blow off foreign leaders. Even the U.S. press is begging for some quality Obama time.
Obama holds record for ignoring WH Press, but he'll be on the Daily Show again on Oct 18 – http://t.co/hvuW3Xta

Why doesn't he just go on Dancing With The Stars & be done w/ it? “@politico: Obama is headed to 'The Daily Show': http://t.co/cVNyJKAn”

Or maybe “Dancing Around the Constitution”?
