Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” is to be held on October 30, which is less than 2 days away. Last night as a precursor to his “non political” rally, he had the opportunity to have President Barack Obama on The Daily Show as a special guest.

Obama seemed very relaxed, and answered Jon Stewart’s questions in a slow, well thought out, but timely manner. While Barack Obama did get a few laughs from the audience, it didn’t appear as though he was trying to be too humorous. He answered questions in a rather serious way, and tried to explain aspects of his presidency to Stewart and the rest of the nation.

It should be interesting to see if this become a regular thing for the President of the United States to do. Will the next President also appear on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”? What if the next president is a Republican? No one can say for sure, but most would be led to believe that Stewart himself is a Democrat. Would he have been as fair and non confrontational if he were interviewing a Republican? From watching Stewart in the past, most people believe he would.

In 2 days, the “Rally to Restore Sanity” will be taking place at the National Mall in Washington D.C. It is not meant as a political rally, and it isn’t targeting a certain political party. However, there will be a ton of people in attendance, and it should be interesting to hear Jon Stewart address them all.

“The Rally to Restore Sanity” has already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities such as the “Trust for the National Mall” and other educational related charities through DonorsChoose.org. If a success, could we see an annual rally put forth by Jon Stewart in the future as well? It is very possible.

Jon Stewart is known as a comedian, but it appears as though he is becoming more and more of a figure people actually respect for more than comedy. These recent events may be the beginning of something huge for Stewart.
