Well, some thought that the caricature Governor of Alaska was fine on SNL..and would have wanted her a heartbeat and one melanoma away from The Oval Office...now that's really unbelievable.

Looking forward to watching Obama on Thursday.

From CBS News:

Quote:
Today's final Camp David trip marks Mr. Bush's 149th visit to the presidential retreat. The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.
And if you also count his time at Crawford Ranch where he played dress up cowboy, its a whopping 977 days. In other words, Bush spent about 1/3 of his entire presidency on vacation.

So, anyone else got anything to say about Obama "not working"?? Im sure you do, so go ahead & look like a buffoon.

Anyway this thread is about him being on Leno.
Stay on topic, please.
No. You brought it up. Now you face the facts. You accused him falsely of being a socialist as if there's no difference between making major investments to shore up a failing private sector until it can get on its feet and Chavez nationalizing everything to permanently control it.

Come on, Ally. Time to face the music. Sometimes we need liberal policy to balance out conservatism run amok just like we needed conservative policy when Reagan came in to balance out liberalism run amok.

Jack Cafferty sums up pretty well the vast amount Obama has accomplished to date. "More in eight weeks than Bush accomplished in eight years".

Sounds like we have a real president again.

In the meantime, we now have a really smart, politically-savvy president making a number of wise decisions.

Im sorry but the only thing he has proven so far is that he is a good speaker. That is it. I'm giving him a chance (really just like playing Devil's advocate on here due to the ridiculousness of some the extreme left posters), but he has not shown anything other than the ability to talk in circles.

I don't see anything wrong with him being on the Tonight Show. I'll watch it. And as someone already said, the office is wherever he does his work.

Who could possibly argue with such a well-stated position?

why does NBC not just give Obama a comedy show so we can yuck it up
while he shows us what a clown he is,
he could have his cabinet in for laughs.
What a total jerk.
