Hell I think its good to see one of them out of there comfort zone of the white house and put on a spot not behind a the same group asking the same old questions.. He was in LA already for something with Gov.Terminator.. Hes not going to be what we are use to for a Leader… He seems to do his own thing his way and dont care who he pisses off..

I’m fine with the President (or whomever) being seen as a regular guy – that’s what got George Bush over with the people, too. But it just seems to me that if you spend all day ranting and raving about how you “inherited” a disaster that is affecting millions of American lives, then you probably should be spending every waking moment trying to find a way to fix that “inheritance” and helping those lives.

Spending an hour of your day making a trip to The Tonight Show might not be the highest and best use of the President’s time these days.

I don’t so much have a problem with the President appearing on a late night talk show, as I really don’t see it hurting anything in the long run, nor do I see it sacrificing the idea of preserving the Office of the Presidency. I don’t mean to take anything away from what being President means… I understand that being the leader of the free world has a lot of weight and importance. Regardless of the position, Obama, Bush, Clinton, or whoever happen to consume the title for the time, are regular people in my opinion, no more special than you or me. Everything about the presidency and Congress and our government, in general, has evolved into the thing that our founding fathers were hoping to prevent. The fact that Obama, at the very last, has made attempts to appear more down to earth, I feel, is a good thing. Going on the Tonight Show kind of falls under the “trying to appear more down to earth.” Now, if only he wouldn’t have made that stupid comment about the Special Olympics. Absolutely dumb on his part… now I know why he insists on following a teleprompter.
