Obama On Leno: Shameful!

From Britain's Daily Mail:
Barack Obama will become the first sitting U.S. president to appear on a late night chat show tomorrow when he is a guest of comedian and writer Jay Leno.
While most of the people on The Tonight show will promote a film or record, Mr Obama will be pushing his economic rescue plan for America.
Critics accused him of dumbing down the presidency and of blurring the line between politics and entertainment.

When he goes on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Obama will have crossed a line -- a line in taste and proper decorum; a line of respectability.
Obama literally stoops to conquer.
But the only thing he will be accomplishing is disrespecting the Presidency.
This is a shameful turn of events.
We are in the midst of a serious economic crisis with businesses closing and millions of people out of work. And while this is happening (between parties and galas at the White House) the President is appearing on a late night comedy show.
Disgraceful!

Don't forget about his bracketology picks. He's been all over ESPN the last couple of days. I'm just not liking his pick. Pitt beats UNC. Sorry Mr. President.
