Jon Stewart takes Obama to task for abandoning his campaign promises to rein in the presidency and return to the rule of law.

purely genius.  I've always enjoyed Stewart.

A little subtle for the average American but I got it.

You know, as much as I did indeed have hope that things would change... I have to admit, I was very wrong.

At this point I am wondering why more American's aren't seeing the problem is that both parties offer only the same thing.

What took him so long to wake up?  I guess late is better than never.

Well, I guess when your own media starts speaking out against you, you know you're doing something wrong.

Somebody has to point out the spelling error: one "reins in authority." Think of pulling on the reins of a horse, to slow down or stop the horse. The word "reign" can be a verb meaning "to rule"; it may be said that Obama reigns in the Beltway, but there is no meaningful sense in which we can "reign in" Obama.

Crap!  This is a longstanding mistake for me, and a really unfortunate one given that I write/edit for a living.  I know the difference between the two words quite well; it's just the spelling (and lack of a spell check tool) that gets me if I'm not paying attention.  Duly corrected.
