1. All those other presidents did it on Mondays, so it doesn't count!
2. All those other presidents wore gray, so it doesn't count!
3. All those other presidents entered from stage left, so it doesn't count!
4. All those other presidents .... uh, anyway, it doesn't count!
Name one other sitting President who appeared on a talk show. I'll wait.
And look what we have today. RWNJs and LWNJs. Unfortunately the LWNJs tip the scale considerably.
I recall a RWNJ back in Kennedy's day, his name was Barry Goldwater. He made a bit of a splash until people actually started listening to what he was saying.
I remember when the news was about Obama being the first sitting president to appear on a late night comedy show, now the story is ho-hum, it's his sixth appearance, on just this one show. Obama thinks he's a pop culture icon.
Maybe Obama will tell more jokes about handicapped children, cuz the last joke was a real hoot.
I imagine that, as our history marches on, future sitting Presidents will appear on televised talk shows.
I will note that several sitting Presidents were not adverse to appearing on television shows, such as Bob Hope's annual specials (Presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan). As Governor of California, Reagan appeared on the Sonny and Cher show.
Of course, we all remember Mr. Nixon, while running in 1968, appearing on Laugh-In ("Sock it to me?").
The wheel turns ever on and on. Sitting Presidents used to go on the radio, after that useful device was invented, for making speeches, fireside chats, and also to be interviewed.
I imagine that if Mr. Romney had won the presidency, he would not have been adverse to going on Jay Leno's show, or perhaps some others. I predict every future president makes us of this exposure.
If people still can't find jobs by now, then it's quite obvious they're not looking enough. In North Dakota jobs are going begging. If you think it's beneath your dignity to move to such a place, then I think it's beneath your dignity to still be without a job.
If your point is that you've failed miserably in this thread you're very welcome because that's all that's been validated here.
You promised to ignore me. I was so looking forward to it. But I see you can't resist the urge to embarrass yourself, so at least I'll ignore you from now on.

What the hell is wrong with him?
