Obama's Appearance On Leno

Appearing on "The Tonight Show," President Obama made an "uh-oh" during a coversation with the talk show host. The crowd loved him and Obama set some issues straight to the American public like the AIG bonus scandal. However, the president told host Jay Leno he'd been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. The he rolled a gutter ball by quipping: "It was like the Special Olympics or something." Oh, boy. I'm an Obama supporter but I cringed at that one.

President Obama Scheduled To Appear On Leno

Holy presidents! In a rare move, President Obama will appear on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" this Thursday as part of his larger tour through Southern California. Bet Jay Leno is screaming with joy, his ratings will probably be through the roof. There has never been a president in office that has appeared on a late night show before this scheduled appearance. Interesting. Obama is hitting the late-night comedy circuit to pitch his economic recovery plan.

According to the New York Times, the Leno appearance is unusual but not totally unprecedented: "Presidential candidates often appear on television shows when they're trying to get elected, but once successful, it is rare to find a commander in chief appearing on TV shows except as joke fodder." The president, who remains personally popular despite growing questions about his policies, is banking on the chance to broaden his audience beyond cable news junkies and political elites.
