President Obama doesn't usually slow jam the news, but when he does, boy is it good. President Barack Obama was on Tuesday night's episode of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and rather than doing his usual sit-down-and-talk-about-politics schtick, he tried something a little different.

A recurring segment on Fallon's late show is "slow jamming the news" -- but this time, Obama joined in on the fun. He used the segment to talk -- er, we mean "slow jam" -- about student loans. And though he may sound a bit too academic doing it, Obama was complemented by Fallon's smooth "ohhhhh yeahhhh's," making the segment both hilarious and educational. Well, at least we think so. Watch the clip below and let us know: do you think President Obama "slow jamming the news" is awesome -- or inappropriate?

    Then put blame where it belongs. When you blame Obama and don't include Bush's name anywhere in it then that's when I have a problem. And as I stated, no one would have been able to fix Bush's mess in 3yrs so don't be so quick to jump down Obama's throat either. Do u agree with everything he has done?? Of course not because u are a republican which is fine. They generally don't agree with Democrats on anything and vice versa. But none of the republicans agreed with Clinton either and he had a surplus instead of a defecit. Put the blame where it belongs and it starts with Bush.

    Financial felonies??? Come on man. That type of comment wasnt called for and is the main reason why politics are the way they are now. The bottom line is that Bush got us in this mess and it appears Obama isnt really doing much to help get us out of it. In his defense, no one would have had us out of this mess in 3 yrs. And Obama has no help from the other side either. No one wants to work together and instead everybody has their own adgenda. They need to clean house and put all new people in office. I mean get rid of everybody; republicans and democrats.

    Even Obama knows this is "his economy". Obama has done nothing but make a bad situation worse. He's going down in November, just like his predecessor Jimmy Carter.

    "It's still about the economy and we're not stupid."

    "(CBS News) The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-5...

    Obama is owning up to it because he is the man in charge at the moment. And you are misleading to think Romney will win over the Presidency. He couldn't even beat McCain last yr. And a lot of the debt that has happened during Obama's 3yrs are things that never got paid for during Bush's term. The 2 wars and Bush's prescription drug tax bill hit the books during Obama's term. Not to mention the multiple stimulus packages that had to be created in order to stop us from heading into a depression due to the downhill slide Bush had us on. And once again, Clinton left office with a surplus. So that means the slide started with George W don't it??? Will you ever involve the main player or not? My guess is no.

    Get ready to help Obama pack in 2013. I hear he's going to need a lot of help shoveling out all that BS he sold y'all back in 2008.

    He's left us with no hope and no change.

    No I don't have 4 seconds to watch some stupid clip u are advertising. From the crazy stuff that you are saying, I'm sure it's just more of the same. I guess Obama created food stamps and no one ever used them before he got into office. You have no points. I'm telling the facts and you are telling off the BS. So why watch that stupid video? You will have 4 more years to come up with some better material. Take advantage of it.

    People have been put on welfare because of Obama or because of the bad economy that he took over? It's a Domino effect. We almost went into a depression and a lot of people lost jobs. That's why more people are being put on welfare and food stamps. Once again, to blame him only for that is immature. That down spiraling economy was happening when he got the keys to the White House. Your facts are BS because u refuse to look beyond 2008 when the economy started to nosedive. I'm pretty sure Obama will beat Romney but we'll see. As far as your panties going down on prom night statement, i think that was pretty clever. I like that analogy but even more, I like when the panties did come down on prom night. You bring back good memories.

    LOL! I'm glad you liked the panties analogy. I second guessed putting it out there but heck I thought to myself that I couldn't pass it up. (We agree on something) :-)

    As for the economy, it's not that I refuse to look at the dates prior to 2008, it's that a lot of those on the Left tend to ONLY look at the dates they like best. There is little to no inclusion of how much of a role the Dems played. Do you know they took Congress in 2004? Do you know Barney Frank claimed there was no housing bubble? Sure Bush got us into some rather unpleasant wars but let me ask you this. If your allies and those against you are telling you Irag has WMD's, what do you do? Now I know WMD's weren't found but there have been reports that showed residue from a chemical used in making WMD's. Sure the WMD's weren't there BUT does it mean they weren't moved?

    Getting back on topic: Obama said so himself, that the Repubs can give him the economy - he'll take it!

    He also said if he hasn't turned this economy around that he'll be looking at a one term proposition. aka one term presidency.

    There are countless of other promises he made most of which he has not fulfilled, in his first term, as he promised.

    Unemployement is still over the 8% he said it wouldn't go over. Gas prices are still double what they were when he took office. Gitmo is still open. And he's charging us taxes in other forms such as the tax on cigarettes, tanning salons, sodas, etc. But he promised he wouldn't raise one red cent on us. What happened?

    Obama can slow jam the news all he want but you have to honeslty sit down and ask yourself, are you better off now then you were four years ago?

    Obama said when he got elected, "Change has come", "the tides have receded" and that he will reach across party lines", - "that this is not a red or blue america, it's the united states of america." He also said he'll cut the deficit in half in his first term. Has he?

    All that you just said can be summed up in this one question I ask you. What President ever told the truth? Has any President took office and followed through with what they said? I'm not on here defending Dems. I think both parties are corrupt as hell. Bottom line is that he hasn't had much help in trying to bring change. The GOP won't help him, instead they reject every move he tries to make. I say to hell with all of them myself. But to suggest Romney is the answer is absurd too. And about gas prices, they were high as hell when Bush was in office too. So Bush and Obama both suck with that one. And yes, we both agree on your panties analogy!!!
  • Shayes Tre 2012/05/22 17:12:01
    Shayes
    It's not that the GOP won't help him, it's simply that both the left and the right have hardcore principles that they stand on and there is little left for compromising.

    Obama has been a "my way or no way" prez since he stepped foot in the office. More than 1/2 the country didn't want his healthcare but he pushed it through anyway.

    I understand all you might be hearing is that the GOP is the party of no, but do you know of the countless times the Democratic run Senate denied Obama's proposals? At least 5 that I know of, regarding Obama's budget plan.

    Gas prices were barely over $2 when Bush was in office, but since Obama's turn they've topped as much as $4 easily.

    Question for you: What exactly, in your mind, disqualifies Romney from being POTUS?

    Lastly, two things we agree on: panties and corrupt politicians. :D
  • Tre Shayes 2012/05/23 12:54:32

    Once again, what President gets elected and doesn't go the my way or no way route. Didn't Bush do that too? All politicians do that which is something we agree on. But it's also like u said, both the left and the right have hard core principles that they stand on which leaves no room for compromising. But when that happens, guess who gets screwed.....us! As far as healthcare, there were millions of people who were for it and millions of people who were against it. So regardless, someone was going to be mad whether it got pushed through or not. I think something had to be done because healthcare in this country sucks. Your gas price theory is just not true. I was paying $4 a gallon when Bush was in office. And what made it worse was Cheney getting kickbacks off of it. Gas prices barely over $2 during the Bush term is very far from the truth. If it was ever close to that, it was the first week of his first term fresh off Clinton moving out. About Romney, he has an agenda too and it don't involve you or me. He will be just like every other President but with him, the middle class is screwed. And surely you can see that he didn't have that much competition to become the Republican nominee. I mean come on. You would have a good shot to be the nominee against Perry, Santorum, and Gingrich. Hell, even Donald Trump was considered a contender at one point.

    First I want to say thank you for engaging in a civil debate with me. I can't tell you enough how refreshing it is. Thank you! Now, onward to the points of interest.....

    More than half the country was against Obama's healthcare. As for Bush, more than half the country supported him in going to war and getting Osama Bin Laden.

    As for gas prices, I stand corrected. During the first twenty-six months of President Bush’s first term in office, the price of gasoline increased by 7%. At the end of his second term, the price had decreased by 9% from the time he took office (adjusted for inflation). Before Bush left office gas was below $2.

    During the first twenty-six months of Obama’s term in office, the price of gasoline has spiked over 67% with no relief in site.

    .... Here is one of my resources: http://cnsnews.com/news/artic...

    As for Donald Trump, he was never my first contender. Romney either, for that matter. Surly they both possessed financial strengths that piqued my interest. But, Donald is too full of himself and with such a big ego I can't imagine him actually looking out for the American people. Unless it benefitted him of course. That's a lot of what I see in Obama. He doesn't make a move unless it's political and shines a bright light on his smiling face as he ...

He doesn't make a move unless it's political and shines a bright light on his smiling face as he looks down his nose at us. Obama and Donald are VERY narcissistic, in my opinion.

    As for Romney, here's why I think he'll be a better POTUS
    1.) He's more of a moderate than he is a conservative. That to me means he'll be better able to reach across party lines and in many ways unite us.

    2.) Financially, he has the reputation that millions hope to aspire to. I imagine his ability to make America a financially strong nation again is one where he knows that if he fails, it's not just Americans who will lose their neck, he will lose his too. Just look at the negative ads Obama is running against him. Romney is on trial for some company that went out of business some 2 to 4 years after Romney was gone. Is that Romney's fault? Really?

    3.) Romney has built his reputation and his company by being a man who knows how to produce wealth. To name a few of the companies Bain Capital has helped: Staples, Domino's Pizza, Sports Authority, Bright Horizons and KB Stores....just to name a few! Look around, wouldn't you say America could use a little wealth right now? Namely jobs!

    Bain grew wealth for their investors (mentioned above). They invested in Bain and in turn Romney was able to save their company and to this day hundreds of thousands if not millions of people have jobs. Good, steady jobs!

    Obama invested in Solyndra to the sum of $530 million dollars. What do we have to show for it? He's invested millions more of tax payer dollars in these solar companies and several have filed bankruptcy or have only employed an upwards of 12 people, give or take. Why isn't Obama's head on the chopping block? And what tangible jobs has Gov't created for nonGov't workers?

    You are welcome. I've enjoyed going back and forth with you an we have proven that we can agree to disagree in a civil manner. You seem to be a person I could be cool with even though we believe in different things. Now to the disagreement...lol. I'm not sure how accurate that is about more people being against the Healthcare than for it but you got to admit, healthcare in this country was and still is horrible. As far as more than half the country supporting Bush in going after Bin laden, I agree. And I supported it too. The problem is that he went after Saddam Hussein in Iraq instead which is the root cause as to why our surplus plunged into a deficit. That whole Iraq war was costly financially and a lot of lives were lost for nothing. Yeah, they captured Hussein but he didn't have anything to do with 911. As far as your support for Romney, everything you said about him I'm not going to trash. I just don't trust him. I don't trust any of them but he doesn't convince me that he will be an improvement from Obama. But that's where we will have to agree to disagree peacefully...lol.

    **Raved for possible friendship.** :)

    Healthcare: We all wanted reform but most of us didn't want Obama's version. Healthcare in the U.S. is the best in the world. Hundreds flock to our shores, sometimes for that benefit alone.

    Iraq: I'm glad we got Suddam and will agree that I too think it had nothing to do with 9/11.

    Romney vs Obama: Obama has made a bad situation worse and I think it's time to try someone who has a strong reputation for financial growth and security. Romney made "his" money and I believe he can make "us" money too.

    If it's fair game to put Romney's head on the chopping block for "some" failed companies then I think it's fair game to put Obama's head on the chopping block for his failed investments in solar energy. Hundreds of folks lost their job when Solyndra and EnerOne went out of business. Obama used taxpayer dollars and set it up to where his people was going to get all the kick backs if the investment was a success. The only thing us taxpayers got was a bill when those companies closed. Shameful!

    Would you prefer I watch race baiting stations like NBC & MSNBC? Sorry, my grandma raised me to be a better person than those who would rather see life through race colored glasses.

    "Man looks at the outward but God looks at the heart." MLK said to judge a man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin.

    NBC risks being sued b/c of their malicious editing of the 911 call in the Trayvon Martin case.

    MSNBC said white guys were showing up at Obama's inauguration with guns on their hip. But when the truth came out it was a black man carrying a gun in a state where it was lawful to do so.

    Now....I'm done discussing the race issue. Let's move on to Obama's failed policies. How's that cars for clunkers working out for ya? Are you or anyone you know struggling to find a job? How about those gas prices? How's that stimulus package working out for us? Is unemployment still over the 8% Obama said it wouldn't go over? Who has Obama helped by endorsing the Occupy Wall Street Protesters? Do you know how many people lost business b/c the customers couldn't get into the stores b/c OWS wouldn't let them?
