From The Colbert Report, Dec. 3, 2008.

Even worse America's problems have made it impossible for pundits like me to undermine President-elect Barack Obama. Of course I want him to fall flat on his face, but only after he fixed my 401K. It is a tricky dilemma and it brings us to tonight's Word...Barack-Handed Compliment. In times like these you must root for the Commander in Chief. And if you're smart you must also zombie-proof your house. And plenty of people have said nice things about him.

So like it or not I am forced to say something nice about Barack Obama. But isn't there, isn't there a way to say something nice to someone and be a douche-bag at the same time?

Can you help us out?
