Last night Jay Leno had a very special guest on his show: Barack Obama! Whether you like the man or not, or whether you voted for him or not, the interview apparently was an interesting one! I won’t go into the details because you can hit up the news or YouTube for that. I just want your oppinion!

He said some interesting things during the interview, one of which was a joke concerning the Special Olympics where he compares it with his bowling game. Now, as careless as the remark could have been, he arguably did not mean any disrespect towards people with disabilities OR the Special Olympics, if you give him the benefit of the doubt. However, as the President of the United States, he MUST know the power of his words. AND he must know the prestige, power, and importance of the office which he holds.

I have several questions concerning this interview:

Do you think the President has any business on a late night talk show?
Do you think the effects of the interview will be positive or negative?
Do you think there could have been a better way to garnish support for any of his policies or plans?
Do you think the President should be held to a higher standard for the things he says than the average American?

Let me know in the comments!
