Massive security blankets studio In his opening monologue, Leno joked that people were surprised that Obama would come on NBC, figuring that he would be tired of big companies on the brink of disaster with a bunch of overpaid executives, a reference to questions that have been raised about the financial health of General Electric Corp., the parent company of NBC Universal.
(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of NBC News and Microsoft Corp.)
Asked about being president, Obama said it was “a little like ‘American Idol,’ except everyone is Simon Cowell — everyone has an opinion.”
But I do regret that the line between policy and entertainment is becoming ever-more blurred.
I agree, and it is rather sad that in the US we see our politicians like we do celebrities.. Pretty soon the National Enquirer will have front page headlines about Obama marrying Jennifer Anniston..
But then again who cares about Leno, lets get him on the Daily Show or Colbert Report..!
Yup, among other things I whined about bush getting us into an unecessary war and hiding the cost, not doing a damn thing about the economy, and being on vacation 46% of the time "cutting brush" and playing golf,which wasn't in the White House..
COMPARED TO:
The repubs whine about a president acting like he IS our employee, getting out and speaking to, listening to, and being seen by the people who hired him...and that he doesn't wear a jacket in the Oval office. If you think Obama hasn't been working than you haven't been paying attention......some heavy duty stuff has been going on.....repubs should know, they whine about it all.
Yeah Bush got us into that war all on his own.
He didnt hide the cost to well did he? Since we know the cost.
You are sitting here complaining about the economy while making excuses for Obama not being in his office working on that economy to improve it. I find that funny
ALso dont leave out that Obama took 2 vacations in 1 mth of work.
I am starting to wonder if Obama knows where his office is in the WH
Its cool that if displays a more human side of the person. But I do regret that the line between policy and entertaiment is becoming ever-more blurred.
Good grief, all one has to do is watch a Presidential election cycle. It is nothing but an American Idol contest between celebrity personalities being given to a public who thinks America is ruled by a monarch. Never in this nations history have we had such an imperial Presidency.
People can't be bothered with all that Constitution and Congress stuff... ick...too complicated, we need to either praise or denounce one man, the sole leader, the master and commander, the... king This way we don't have to think about anything, just point.
America is turning into the movie Idiocracy more and more every day.

I LOVE that movie! And I will bet that President Comocho was elected because he was more like a pro wrestler than his competition... Ever since the 90s it seems that all elections are determined by who takes being a celebrity better, and who has the least amount of skeletons in their closet.
Nope, you like the other repubs just need something, ANYTHING, to whine about.
Statements like this crack me up. Is your memory so short that you don't remember the liberal media outlets whining about Bush & Co as early as last year?

Of course I remember the whining about what a disaster the whole bushCo administration was.
Whining about Obama appearing in public is stupid.
You have the right to change the channel, or turn the TV off.
These are your choices, aren't you the party of personal responsibility?
Might want to actually try it sometime.
I never saw it. I read the story on the internet.
Need to be harsh, much?
Don't harsh my mellow, dude...I'm in VT...I like the President.
Not dignified??? Why do you place our empolyees on such pedestals???
They aren't holy gods to you, are they?
They're just peolple , hired by us to do a job....they fart, they belch, they swear and drink...just like the rest of us....try to get over the worshipy thing.
Nope, you like the other repubs just need something, ANYTHING, to whine about.
I'm NOT a repub...shudder...bleh.
I hate to see people cozing up to 'tv people.'

Well, you are on to something. So would you agree that the flip side of it is people getting serious information from Limbaugh or Stewart?
