Is President Obama's Appearance on 'Tonight Show' a Big Deal or Not?

In summary, President Obama is scheduled to appear on the Tonight Show tomorrow. Some people are upset because he is spending his time on a comedy show instead of more important things. Others are okay with it because he is a human being and has the right to have fun.

I voted for McCain and I'm not ashamed to say so... I would vote for him again as long as the oposition supported abortion and embryonic stem cell research!

My comment wasn't meant for you and if you were on this site prior or during the election, you would have fit right in. The bickering went back and forth for WEEKS.

It was insane. But thanks for pointing out your view.

I stayed up and watched it. I thought he did very well. He definitely kept his dignity. He was light but he also said serious things. Jay was funny - almost flustered and very polite. Keven even wore a suit.

I think he did great. I still don't like the fact that it was on a late night comedy show. I just don't feel that's the place for a sitting president, but I think he did & spoke very well. I actually enjoyed listening.. & thought Jay asked some great questions.

Wow....

I don't think it matters what he does or doesn't do, he can't make everyone happy.
If he were only appearing on stuffy "news" forums and refused invitations to more casual forums, some would say he was not "real" enough, and too formal and stuffy.... and can't be trusted... blah blah blah.

BUT.... we see from comments here how the others feel if he does try to be more "one of the people".

I say leave the poor guy alone, and be appreciative that you have a "REAL" person who is honest enough to NOT try to be someone else just because SOME people might think that a good president is one that puts on the act everyone wants to see.

Is it the level of respect for the office of president that is important? Or is it the level of respect that a President has for his people? I think that he is showing great respect for ALL people... of every class (not just the ones who think everything has to be "protocol")
And as for dignity? Wow, i can't believe that someone would call a TV appearance on a show that has been around for 55years and has always been one of Americas most watched shows , undignified....LOL. Its not like he is going to go on there and do a pole dance or something!! At least I hope not.

As someone else posted - Instead of raising the bar, it's about bringing it down to the lowest common denominator. I thought that a very apt description.

Very well said. No, he can't keep everyone happy and he never had a chance to anyway. Some will not even try to give him a chance.

I personally think it is pretty cool. He is a person also. Who doesn't do the NCAA brackets? (I pick according to the location and if I would live there.) If you want to talk politics, wasn't Bush on vacation on vacation like 3 out of his 8 years in office??? Let him be a normal person, like me! He works enough hours a day. It is cool to see that he is a dad, that he can loosen up and have a beer, that he doesn't have to think about this depressing economy every second of the day!
