Leno: ‘We Wanted a President That Listens to All Americans - Now We Have One’ By Noel Sheppard Created 06/08/2013 - 2:02pm
Jay Leno continued his humorous attacks on the White House Friday.
In the middle of a lengthy set of opening monologue jokes about the various scandals plaguing Barack Obama, the NBC Tonight Show host said, “We wanted a president that listens to all Americans - now we have one” (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):
JAY LENO: Well, let's see what's going on. Hey, Snoop is back in the news. Not Snoop Dogg, Snoop Obama. Yeah, Snoop Obama. A big change at the White House today. They closed the gift shop and opened a Verizon store. Yeah.
Well, this has become a huge controversy after it was revealed that the National Security Agency seized millions of Verizon phone records, and of course this has caused a panic among civil libertarians, constitutional scholars and cheating husbands everywhere. Oh my God.
How ironic is that? We wanted a president that listens to all Americans - now we have one. Yeah.
Actually, President Obama clarified the situation today. He said no one is listening to your phone calls. The president said it's not what the program is all about. You know, like the IRS isn’t about targeting certain political groups. That's not what it's about!
I mean what's going on? The White House has looked into our phone records, checking our computers, monitoring our e-mails. When did the government suddenly become our psycho ex-girlfriend? When did that happen? When did that happen? When did that happen?
You know, I'll tell you, if Obama wants to put this snooping thing to good use, how about spying on the IRS next time they throw a $4 million party. Why don't you do that one? Yes, exactly, exactly. Find out about that. Yeah.
As you know by now, the IRS has taken some heat for reportedly spending $4 million on a conference in Anaheim last year where employees took dancing lessons. One of the dances they learned? Tap dancing around the issues. Yes, that was very good, be able to tap dance
Well, the latest one that came out today. You see this one? They're saying the IRS paid an artist $17,000 to paint portraits of Abraham Lincoln to help inspire the IRS agents. You know, if they want to see a picture of Lincoln for inspiration, take out a $5 bill and save the taxpayers $16,995. Exactly. That's what they said. They said.
Oh, the hearings have been unbelievable this week. Congressional investigators say the IRS basically threw a $4 million party for themselves. But in fairness, who else is going to throw a party for the IRS? Really? Now, a going away party, I think we'd all chip in. I would chip in! I would chip in! There you are, no problem. I would pay for that.
Yea but it’s the rammifications that really suck from all of his big boy tantrums!
Lol. Meant "No kidding."
Don't drive the information superhighway while distracted. :-)
If he did this 4 years ago, his ratings would have gone through the roof, every other late night butt boy would have followed suit and we might be dealing with President Romney.
Leno’s really going out with a bang. Makes you wonder what might have been different had he been ‘free’ all along.
Why doesn’t someone ask Letterman if HE still thinks Bengazi was about a YouTube video...?
Also makes you wonder just how liberal America really isn’t. Sadly, now that we are being monitored and watched, fewer will be willing to speak out.
> > No snort.
> Lol. Meant “No kidding.”
> Don’t drive the information superhighway while distracted. :-)
‘Snort a problem.
And that brings me to my question. Can anyone on here endure Obama sycophant Letterman? If so, what, if anything, is he saying about current events? Nothing? Avoiding it like the plague?
Right now he must be in a state of complete depression.
Precisely. It takes balls to be an American. Jay is showing the rest of the geldings how it’s done. Where’s the free spirit? Take off the yoke and chains, people. There’s a whole lot of ass kickin’ that needs doing. Let’s get started.
For goodness sake.....Jay Leno is keeping NBC alive!!!! MSNBC is on life support and soon the doctors inside the ICU will be pulling the plug. Well.......Jay, my boy.....if NBC cans you.....Roger Ailes, FOX TV will grab you quicker then a NY minute!!! Good....you finally came to see what a farce and failure POTUS Obama and his Obamabots are!!! A sea change is afoot, and you timed it just right!!! David Letterman, dumb and biased as he is, does not have a clue!!! And....Fallon and Kimmel are sleep at the wheel, as is SNC!!!
Come on, people in our government aren't vindictive. This sounds like one of those 'conspiracy theories'. What evidence do you have to even make you think someone would do this ? Who in government would even make such a threat ?
(/sarcasm)
"Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don't forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay"
He may be a real lefty, I don't know. But, I'll bet this all just to tweak the new boss till he leaves.
Leno will pay for this...I’m not kidding...it may be awhile down the road...but he will pay. The Alinsky types NEVER forget.
Old people with courage and skills are dangerous to the bad guys. When you are close to death anyway, and wonder what kind of legacy you are going to leave, principles mean more than life - especially if you are a “bible clinger”.
And “old and ruthless” beats “young and strong” every time.
Not ALL. He never listened to Rev. Wright or Bill Ayres, and he’ll swear he’s never heard anyone who talked to him about fast and furious, Benghazi, the AP, IRS abuses, or targeting conservative non-profits. He’s never even listened to anything coming out of his own attorney general.
Leno is on fire!
He smells blood and his lapping it up.
Pray for America to Wake Up
We NEED more support, this is a good thing.
Be happy for every voice that attacks Obama now.
Like Jodi Arias? That ended with 39 stab wounds, a slit throat and a bullet in the brain. Leno may get by with just a visit from the IRSS.
Used to like Leno, then he got all demmy, lobbing marshmallows at King Obama. Now he's making me laugh again. I wonder where they're getting their audience. Most seemed to be liberal in the past, with even a hint of mocking Obama met with chilly silence instead of laughter.
Does anyone know if Leno’s ratings have spiked in the last month or two, since he began calling 0bama out for the failure he is?
