Show us your shocked faces! Jon Stewart reportedly secretly met with Obama at WH

Color. Us. Shocked:

This Politico scoop on Jon Stewart's secret White House visits is something else http://t.co/NLWeleMf5Z

From Politico:

Jon Stewart slipped unnoticed into the White House in the midst of the October 2011 budget fight, summoned to an Oval Office coffee with President Barack Obama that he jokingly told his escort felt like being called into the principal’s office.

In February 2014, Obama again requested Stewart make the trip from Manhattan to the White House, this time for a mid-morning visit hours before the president would go before television cameras to warn Russia that “there will be costs” if it made any further military intervention in Ukraine.

To engage privately with the president in his inner sanctum at two sensitive moments — previously unreported meetings that are listed in the White House visitor logs and confirmed to POLITICO by three former Obama aides — speaks volumes about Stewart and his reach, which goes well beyond the million or so viewers who tune into The Daily Show on most weeknights.

We wish we could say we were surprised, but, well, this is the Celebrity President we’re dealing with. He’s worked very hard to cultivate a symbiotic relationship with the media — “legit” and fake.

No kidding. To be honest, we’re not sure why the White House ever bothered trying to hide it.

@jaketapper Stewart serving as a official herald for King Barack is hardly surprising.

@jaketapper @instapundit a really, really disturbing but completely unsurprising story on multiple levels.
