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.

Hussein: spreadin’ lies to late night.

Obama is a joke and not a very funny one at that. Perfect fit for the Leno show.

[jveritas]

That is so cute, isn't it? Let us all say a group OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH(extreme sarcasm)

We are at war, the economy is in shambles but he is yet doing his perpertual campaign of image and no substance, of smoke and mirrors.

Making history on Jay Leno? Not really. Was Obama’s first peanut butter and jelly sandwich a “history making” event?

[Virginia Queen]

Well, this is one regular watcher who will not watch that night. This man is over-exposed. Everytime I turn on the TV I see his big-earred head and everytime I turn on the radio I hear his stupid voice. It is getting to the point that I start to break out in hives. I thought Brittany was over-covered. Is there anything he does that is not broadcasted in some way?

[GVnana]

LOL!

[madameguinot]

He’s having Saint Patrick’s Day parties at the White House tomorrow. Party party party. This like West Wing meets The Office and Michael Scott is president.

[MaxMax]

W and Laura appeared on Larry King while W was President. Does that count?
Sure. Didn't the MSM excoriate Bush for that?

[tioga]

this is just so demeaning of theOne......

[Oztrich Boy]

Michelle vetoed Oprah?

Nixon did Laugh-In.

When campaigning, politicians do things that would be inappropriate if done in office.

Nixon had more couth than Obama has.

Me neither! Haven’t been able to stomach any of Faux when he’s on tv.

Nixon had more couth than Obama has.

But some have pointed out that BO is in a "perpetual campaign" so perhaps he feels this is appropriate.

He is disgracing the office he holds.

[americanophile]

I think this is really unfortunate. So undignified. He is the head of state for crying out loud. I just don’t understand this at all. So inappropriate.

Leno had Elisabeth Hassleback on last week.

He started the interview asking her about the Commercial McCain used saying Obama wanted to teach Sex Ed to six year olds that she defended on The View. He went on and on saying it was a stretch, and how he calls both sides on things like that. I had to laugh.

I wasn't sure if I was watching Jon Stewart or David Letterman.

I always though Jay was fair, even though he is a lib. After that show, I changed my mind about him. He is probably a nice guy, but he is as dumb as a rock when it comes to politics. I'm sure he voted for Bambi, and he is a car guy for heaven's sake.

[RasterMaster]

The job was too tough for DUH-bama, so now he's stuck on perpetual campaign mode....

While his supporters are stuck on stupid!

[Yaelle]

That is very funny!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Leno is a horrible host - his interviews are completely scripted and you can tell. He will appear to be asking some random question to the guest but it will come out like, "did you ever swing a bat and hit a tree when you were a kid?" - something equally ridiculous and the guest will have an incredible story about that "random" question.....

The entire interview with bambi will be scripted down to the handshake.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned

It's a brilliant plan by Zero. He knows that with Leno going to the ten o'clock hour, more people may watch him than ever before at the 11:35 time slot, which is bedtime for many folks.

Gotta keep old Jay in line by tossing him a bone every now and then, that's how you manage your lapdogs.
