Obama is going to be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2009/03/64221193/1 I'm sure this is going to get some huge ratings, probably some harsh criticism from the right as well. Like when they bashed him for going to the Wizards game.
Understandable that he likes basketball. But come on Jay Leno? Obama is our President, not a fucking celebrity.
I think it might be a smart move, if he's trying to communicate something. There are an awful lot of people in this country who would never watch the president make a speech, but will watch whoever is on the Tonight Show. On the other hand, if he just talks about Jay's car collection and how cold it is in Washington this time of year, then he probably should have used the time to do something useful. barfo
Best time and place to actually be heard by the most Americans, since most Americans work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Obama on Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to catch some Leno and get 6 hrs of sleep so they can get up at 6am to work 2 jobs just to pay for the bare necessities of life, and get home just in time to I wonder if he'll do something constructive with the time. I would expect so, maybe a call to arms?
I wonder if Oprah feels dissed? Ah, such is the state of our politics... I guess anything he can do to reapply the glossy sheen on "Change" and "Hope" will help him. Too bad, he's not actually interested in understanding the specifics of his policies. Gee, I guess he really is like our previous President in that respect, with Speaker Pelosi being his Vice President Cheney.
great, so he goes on so Leno can throw him up curveballs. Obama should go on Rush Limbaugh. That would be good.
its a planned deflectionary manner, while people are outraged about the AIG bonuses, obama will go on there, be glib and non-specific all in the name of "inspiring the american people". meanwhile, he will continue to push forth his big government agenda. this fucker is so transparent its sickening.
What in the fucking god fuck dammit fuck are you fucking people TALKING ABOUT?! ITS THE TONIGHT SHOW NOT MEET THE FUCKING PRESS christ.
yes it is. and he'll get curve balls instead of facing the tough questions. he'll talk about his dogs and J-Crew while he turns this country into a more socialist state.
Exactly. Pres_ent Celebrity goes on The Tonight Show before he goes on Meet the Press. Just a couple of multi-millionaires yucking it up while the unemployment rate jumps over 8%. Perhaps they'll take in a Laker game as well. That would be swell.
I think that's our point. If Obama is going to appear somewhere, why fly 3,000 miles to do a puff piece? Air Force One costs a lot of money to operate, not to mention the hassle of shutting down Burbank Airport.
It costs less to drive over to the NBC studio in DC for a Meet the Press interview that might actually be informative if the President ditches his trusty teleprompter.
He's not a candidate anymore. Been there, done that. He's the President of The United States, and he's trying to prevent the impending collapse of what's left of a once magnificent nation. I really don't think he's interested in wasting time answering pundit's questions right now. I think he'll speak about his new citizen service thingamajig, maybe an official launch of it.
I assume he has other Presidential business to conduct while he's in LA. It's a fairly large town with nearly 50% American Citizenship.
