Stephen Colbert Watches Barack Obama Grow a Pair

Stephen Colbert has never liked Barack Obama, but—on tonight's episode of The Colbert Report—he finally figured out why: Obama has been going through "presidential puberty" and is finally starting to man up. (Bonus: Tom Hanks!)

In recent days, Obama has been weak when talking about healthcare and trying to appease the Republicans. Well, no longer. Obama has finally had his presidential bar mitzvah and is ready to be a man. Or, at least, to express his feelings about healthcare in a louder voice.

Tom Hanks was also on the show tonight to promote yet another war-based TV series called The Pacific. The protagonist in the series, Eugene Sledge, survived two battles—one at Peleliu and the other at Okinawa. Hanks had some choice words for how Eugene should make people aged 21-53 feel.
