Barack Obama jokes about white people being too racist to vote for him (Jon Stewart)

Relax! No race card involved at all! It was all just a joke, just a wonderful, heart-warming merry jest straight from the heartland last night on the Daily Show (text link, video link):
Jon Stewart: Are you concerned in some respects, you know, and I don’t even know how to bring this up. Obviously your mother is from Kansas. She’s a white woman. Your father, African. Are you concerned that you may go into the voting booth and...

Barack Obama: I won’t know what to do.

Jon Stewart: Your white half will all of a sudden decide, "I can't do this."

Barack Obama: That's a problem.

Jon Stewart: (laughing).

Barack Obama: I've been going through therapy to make sure that I vote properly on the 4th.
Just relax! It's not like if he wins there will be four years of fun jokes or anything.
