Jimmy Fallon Gets Frustrated with Obama
Politico.com ^ | 03/23/2011 | PATRICK GAVIN

Late night host Jimmy Fallon stepped outside of his normal role as a funnyman to take some serious dings at President Barack Obama on Tuesday night's show.

During an interview with NBC News's Brian Williams, Fallon said, "It feels like, to me, that President Obama is playing soccer in Rio with kids and Hillary Clinton seems to be really stepping up, almost like she's being very presidential, I feel like. Isn't it weird?"

Williams gave Obama a bit more credit, arguing that the machinery of the presidency follows Obama wherever he goes, enabling him to keep working outside of Washington. Fallon, however, wasn't buying it.

"Why is he there again?" he asked, referring to Obama's trip to Brazil. "To have cancelled this costs so much money — he can't get a refund? Come on! What is going down, he's making NCAA, doing his brackets on ESPN, I mean, who's advising him?"

Good lawd, Obama has lost Fallon.

Watch Brian Williams not-so-subtly defend Obama. Do you think he would have done the same for Bush?

Well that might be true if Hillary had the foggiest notion what the hell she is doing. She is as responsible as anyone for getting us into this stupid, confused, and pointless war. Although certainly Obama needs to take the blame for going along with it.

The truth is that Obama has surrounded himself with idiots and incompetents, and hillary is not to be counted off the list, just because she once shared the White House with clintbilly, her one and only claim to fame.

Where’s the clip of Williams defending Bush’s trip to his own house...since the apparatus of the Presidency followed him there, too. I can’t seem to find that video clip anywhere. Weird.

Unless the President has an "R" after his name and he is going to his home that has a better communications system then the actual White House does, right Brian?

Ahh, he probably wanted Hillary to win from the start. She’s stepping up? She is? When? Where? Fallon may not be happy with Obama, but he still doesn’t get it.

It would be better if it was Jimmy the Weasel (Aladena Fratianno) who was frustrated.

They will give him another peace prize for attacking another country that did not attack us.

Isn’t he the one married to the potty-mouthed skank Susan Silverman?

As such, who cares what he thinks?

That’s Jimmy Kimmel, and they broke up a long time ago.

Man! You said it! There are a few, even on FR, who have pined for Hillary & Bubba Clinton since Obama took the wheel and drove it in the ditch. - Hillary Clinton’s main claim to fame was Bubba’s coattails & the fact that she once slept in the same bed with him. BUBBA was the main thing that TURNED THE PRESIDENCY INTO ONE BIG JOKE and paved the way for Obama! Hillary was one of the original Saul Alinsky babies, and as big a socialist as Obama is. Remember her first “Healthcare” fiasco that crashed and burned. - With the Dictator Obama; there was no chance it was going to crash and burn.

You'd have never heard that out of his mouth had Bush or Reagan been the President. Liberal hack.

The “machinery of the presidency” apparently only follows Democrat presidents.

This is surreal. What the heck are we doing over there? And why are we not succeeding at whatever we are doing?

Where were American fighter jets when marauding Tutsis slaughtered 850,000 Hutus in their sleep?

The truth is that Obama has surrounded himself with idiots and incompetents, and hillary is not to be counted off the list

He's out-done Bill Clinton/Janet Reno in pushing women forward to take the hit for his administration. The number of lesbians in positions of power is overwhelming.
