MTV Street Team Interview With Arab Comic About Barack "Hussein" Obama

Comedians are taking over the world. More from the world of NYC comedy that's relevant to our discussions.

Sara Benincasa is on the MTV election street team. Despite having promoted disturbingly destructive or unattainable images of success to young people across the globe, MTV's Choose Or Lose campaign is really good. I remember checking some shows out in 2004 that had me in tears, with young ladies talking about their decision to get an abortion.

This year, MTV has raised the notch, financing street teams of local journalists and media mixers all across the country.

In this interview, Sara asks fellow comedian Dean Obeidallah about Barack Obama, his middle name and Christianity vs. Islam. Sara and Dean are both great comedians but also just good people.
