NBC has announced that President Barack Obama will on Thursday become the first sitting president to sit on Jay Leno's couch, or that matter, any late-night TV show's couch.
He'll be at the "Tonight Show" studio for the taping during his swing through California later this week according to the Tower Ticker blog.

The reason he's appearing probably has much to do with the item either right before or after this one -- his support is slipping.
Now let's imagine, shall we, if Bush had done this or, if McCain had won and he had done this. Let's just imagine the chorus of outrage from the opposite side of the political aisle. He's cheapening the office! Why isn't he concentrating on our problems? Etc. etc.

I wonder where the teleprompter will be hidden.
.
Or should we just count how many times the great orator says "um"?

Obama/Biden 2012 in full swing!
In a few short weeks we have gone from;
++ urgent bug eyed warnings of economic crisis and catastrophe with the call for and passing of massive unread spending bills to;
++well, the economy is probably not as bad as it seems
++kanoodling with Leno...
Whats next? Night classes? Bowling league?
Where does our saviour find the time?

It the beginning he shared the TV with Leno, in the end there will only be 'BIG BROTHER OBAMA"
Thats what 'FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE MEANS" No more Leno and 24/7 Big Brother Obama.

Forget financial aide from congress to any american regarless of their party affiliation to make it easy for individuals to purshase a house without a down payment and or a full time job.The reason our country is in such bad shape is because of the easy loans supplied by the the funds contollled by Barney snake in the grass Frank and his democrtaic coharts.After two iterations of fraud and deceit Barney is back and our economy is headed for another calamity. You would even bet the democrats could figure that out, but no, we seem doomed to repeat our errors with regularity. Hopefully we will learn the end dosen't always justify their means/ crap in crap out.

This cheapens the office of the President of the United States.
This position is not that of a movie star but of a leader of the free world. He and Michelle constantly embarrass this nation.
Will Barack announce his bisexuality on Leno's show? Is that what this is all about?
