O’Barry’s Never Ending Campaign Heads To The Tonight SHow

Exactly when is Obama going to move from campaigning to actually being the President? You know, governance mode?

President Barack Obama is taking the case for his financial rescue plans to an unusual venue, appearing Thursday night on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” during a visit to California, according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

“It’s a good place to talk about the economy and the choices and challenges we face,” Gibbs told CNN Monday, while acknowledging it is “not one of those places where you expect to see the president” appear for an interview.

But Gibbs said Obama, who will tape the show Thursday during a two-day swing through the Los Angeles area for town hall meetings focusing on the economy, sees the appearance as a good chance to “press his case” to a large number of viewers.

True, Leno is getting around 4.1 million viewers per night, but, seriously, no, wait, it isn’t serious, it is a late night comedy show. Hell, no matter their faults, at least Carter and Clinton knew how to be The President.

    He has hurt many families in America. He needs to say he is sorry in the public, not to an organization.

    In addition, someone who claims to have experienced prejudice and stereotypes throughout life, and has written about them in great detail, should be more sensitive and refined from life’s lessons.

    Furthermore, Obama claimed he was going to have the world think ‘highly’ of America again. Will this joke help?

    For someone who spoke of equality as a creed. Does this joke match that philosophy?

    For someone that said he would stand for all people. Does this stand up for those that participate in the Special Olympics?

    The fact is Obama claimed a higher standard. To much is given, much is required.

    Obama has just showed us that ‘yes we can’ destroy what a campaign stands for with a single joke.

    During the campaign for the White House in 2008, the media criticized Palin for being ‘common,’ ‘not-polished,’ ‘not-compassionate’ and ‘not presidential.’ However, compare Sarah Palins attitude in this video created three weeks ago for the Special Olympics in Boise, Idaho.

    You decide the more ‘presidential’ among them. Watch: http://tinyurl.com/ccz6nj
