I see the President had to apologize for his harmless joke the other night on Leno. That's super lame. People get so damn bent out of shape over the littlest things; very over dramatic. It's obvious he didn't mean anything bad or wrong by it. It was just in harmless fun. You can tell on the video as soon as he said it he wished he could take it back because he knew he would be apologizing for it later. First, people say they want a President who acts just like a regular guy, then when they get their wish, they stone him for being just a regular person. That's how regular people joke. He has people who are upset that he is President (either because he's Black or their just bitter McCain isn't in the White House) ready to jump on him about any little thing so he really can't win. Now, there are people saying that the President shouldn't go on talk shows. Doing media and press is part of the job.
He has to be able to show that he's personable and interested in talking to people, so that is a null argument. I can't tell you how many top politicians and candidates I have seen on shows like the Colbert Report and nobody says anything. Not only did he have to apologize because of the 'outrage' but he invited some special Olympic bowler who bowls a 300 almost every game to come to the White House and bowl with him in order to pacify the people who were offended by his comment, and it worked. Our President is trying to bail us out of Bankruptcy and we want him to watch what he says on a damn late night talk show and then waste time bowling with a down syndrome man in the White House...seriously...coming from a nation of people who can't figure out how pay their bills?!
