Daily Show (Almost) Catches Obama Hypocrisy on Keeping War Data Classified

STEWART: "Thursday we got wind of a little something that was happening at the Pentagon."
MSNBC [video]: "The U.S. is now classifying previously publishing held information about the war in Afghanistan, things like the Afghan troop levels, the amount of money that is being spent there and where it's being spent."
STEWART: "Ahh your Afghan troop levels, your spending levels, your literacy programs, your stationary levels, your HBO-go passwords, your secret Santas. Oh, this all just weeks after the president announced that we were ending our combat mission in Afghanistan. Very suspicious, thought we here at the show. A classic case of a governmental Orwellian cover-up. The reality of a war disappearing into the abyss of bureaucratic semantics. Facts on the ground obscured by the bold 24-point font of a classified stamp. We immediately got to,  work. Not researching but creating this graphic opening. Now, how wonderfully rye. We even had the President of the United States on tape rebutting the very idea of these types of I will use his words, well, not really, shenanigans."
OBAMA [video]: "We have secret passwords, secret budgets, I will turn the page on a growing empire of classified information and restore the balance we've lost between the necessarily secret and the necessity of openness in a democratic society."
STEWART: "Classic Daily Show gotcha. But then, tragically, senselessly, just one hour before we were to tape, he fixed the [bleep] problem. The military command abruptly reversed its decision to classify details about the Afghan army. You [bleep]. What am I supposed to talk about now? At this stage of the game, who is going to serve me up a meatball that I can dig into inn to carry us through the rest of the act?"
