Last night, Jon Stewart caught up to the news-cycle and devoted his entire first segment to how damaging the Solyndra bankruptcy may be for Obama. Solyndra is the bankrupt solar company that received a $500+ million dollar loan from his administration even though federal reviewers said the deal was "not ready for prime time," ABC News reported. The Daily Show host played highlight reels of the president touting the company's job-creating potential at its factory and followed those up with news footage reports of potential cronyism involved in the deal. About midway through the segment, Stewart quipped:
