Obama and Leno - Video, Transcript

Obama was Jay Leno's guest on Tuesday's Tonight Show.

It was a campaign commercial.

No surprise there.

I expected Leno to be respectful and he was.

I expected Leno to be a total suck-up and he was.

Obama looked tired and old and frail.

This time, Obama didn't mock Special Olympics athletes, like he did during his appearance in March 2009.

I don't think he'll have to issue any apologies like he did when he revealed what a callous and cold individual he is. He could apologize to the viewers for his shameless politicking, but he didn't disgrace himself the way he did when he compared his poor bowling ability to that of a Special Olympics participant.

Certainly, Obama owes the country an apology for his disastrous policies.

Leno owes his viewers an apology for being the willing stooge, accepting Obama's spin without challenge.

I really don't blame Leno too much because he's not meant to do a tough interview.

The question becomes: What is a sitting U.S. president doing on the Tonight Show?

I think it makes Obama seem small. It diminishes the office.
