You’d hardly know from Jay Leno’s softball questions Tuesday night that Obama was presiding over a tanking economy. Lloyd Grove on the well-orchestrated sit-down. Plus, watch video.
His face is creased and lined, his head has been invaded and occupied by an army of gray hairs, and—at least while sitting next to Jay Leno, a spicy meatball of a man—his skinny frame has a physical fragility that wasn’t apparent, say, only a year into his bone-crushing presidency.
“Michelle thinks I look old. But that’s okay—she still thinks I’m cute,” the president confided to the host of NBC’s Tonight Show Tuesday in one of his periodic visits to late-night television to shore up his insomniac base and deliver his stump speech—in conversational tones and punctuated by the occasional witticism—in the run-up to the next election.
Obama couldn’t have found a more willing accomplice. Leno—who wears his American flag pin on the right lapel, in contrast to the president’s flag-on-left—might just as well have been scripted by David Axelrod. Unlike The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, who piercingly challenged Obama with one tough question after another and at one point called him “dude” during a fascinating appearance a year ago, Leno seemed content to provide the nation’s top Democrat with an informercial masquerading as a guest-shot.

Remember Bill Clinton went on Leno show, Then the PBS interview ,The Letterman show and Jon Stewart show? All gave him softball questions. But until Clinton got on Fox News this is what happens
Come on Obama get on the O'reilly factor you chickenshit!
