WATCH > President Obama Slow Jams the News With Jimmy Fallon: Awesome or Inappropriate?

He was mocking the BS that was being slung

This dumbass needs to just spend the next 6 months or so doing the comedy club circuit and stay away from DC.

We have become the laughingstock of the entire globe, especially here in our own country.

What a total failure and complete embarrassment this dick-cheese has been.

Speaking as an outsider. You're less of a laughing stock now than you have been for a long time.

Coming from the UK?
I'll just consider the source.

If you didn't care what the outside world thought, then why did you mention it :)

I have plenty of relatives in Germany, and Ukraine, I travel abroad quite a bit and hear from people all over the globe - India, Japan, China, etc.
Personally, there's nothing about the UK that impresses me.

Thought you might have. Convenient that.

I see dumbasses are not limited to the Liberals in the USA.

Do you? and where might you see this?

D_Kwest: "We have become the laughingstock of the entire globe, especially here in our own country".

No, but that happened a while back...

Well I think it's pretty clear that Fallon's audience is full of dumbass toolbags. I about puked hearing that ovation Obama got when he came in.

Its all orchestrated - no one gets in unless they drink the kool aide first - its just like doing a 30 minuet show for television with a live studio audience. Everyone is instructed, and they use large flash cards so the robots can cheer

Something tells me if he was republican you wouldn't have gave a crap and would be applauding it.

A couple things:

a) Rush Limbaugh is not a "drug addict." He did become temporarily addicted to pain-killers following a back problem, something that happens to lots and lots of Americans with back problems. Anyone who's ever had back problems, as my husband has, knows how painful they can be.

b) This MessNBC guy didn't actually say something substantive in response to Limbaugh's comments about Obama's TV appearance. He only made the low-blow drug-addict comment. Pretty typical of liberals -- don't discuss the issue at hand, just make personal attacks.

c) Equating the act of Reagan merely SPEAKING on Dean Martin's show, with Obama taking part in a silly SONG on a show, is pretty ridiculous. No wonder so few people watch MSNBC.

d) Bush's appearance on Letterman was BEFORE he was President.

e) With regard to Nixon, see "c" above. Equating that with what Obama did is ridiculous. Especially since Nixon didn't turn it into a campaign stump.

f) When Nixon and Reagan made their above-mentioned appearances, was our economy in the bad straits that it's in now? For Obama to be so cavalier and joking while so many Americans are struggling economically ... it's yet another example of our Nero fiddling while America burns.

A few of things:

1.) Rush Limbaugh is a bigot

2.) Rush Limbaugh is a liar.

3.) Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting misogynist pig.

Oh, and he's a druggie, pill poppin', limp noodle cretin.

Ahh, but it's us, according to Obummer, who should tighten our belts, miss that vacation or dinner out, while of course, they lead by example.- Phony to the hilt, as they do nothing of the sort.

>>>Something tells me if he was republican you wouldn't have gave a crap and would be applauding it.>>>

It would have been okay if Obama did this in the middle of a strong economy.

But the fact that he's doing this when so many people are still hurting is pretty out-of-touch and insensitive.

Give me a break! Yeah but it was just fine when Bush did and the economy was in the tank, and America had suffered it's worst terrorist attack on it's own soil ever.

Just admit, it's not like it's a secret. You people don't and won't support him no matter what. That's it. I've heard conservative say that they'd rather them and their families starve and go homeless than take advantage of a program that President Obama initiated to help them. How f*cking sick, demented, and just plain evil is that?

You want to talk about "out of touch" and "insensitive", well maybe he should be trying to convince everyone in this economic climate where the income inequality gap is wide as an ocean that "CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE TOO", while he's at maybe he should talk about how much he likes firing people, Oh and maybe telling students that if you aren't rich enough to afford a quality college then it just sucks to be you, that would really show how in touch and sensitive he is. YEAH RIGHT!

Presidents gotta have fun to. If not they will kill over with a heart attack.

I have lived through (12) enough uptight presidents, nice to see one with a personality. The majority of them regardless of party are tight asses so they won't offend someone and I go back to Eisenhower nice guy but it took a act of congress to get him to smile. Picture Richard Nixon, a smirk yes smile not so much. Gerald Ford, not much smiling too much stuff happening. Lyndon Johnson not much smiles plenty of Viet Nam to worry about. John F Kennedy had a great smile but not for long, and Jimmy Carter smiled alot most likely to cover incompetence. Bill Clinton of course he smiled had way too much going on.George Bush had a nice smile and I really liked him, not so much junior.
At any event let the guy have a little fun, the job he has sucks even on the best day.

You think Reagan was an "uptight" president? If you "go back to Eisenhower" and are still alive now, then you "lived through" Reagan too. He was NOT uptight at all!

By the way, you haven't lived through 12 presidents if you "go back to Eisenhower." From Eisenhower to Obama inclusive, we've had 11 presidents, not 12.

Having fun is one thing. But going on a late-night national TV show and acting like a freaking clown -- while so many in America are hurting -- is quite another.

If Obama were a conservative Republican, I bet a lot of people (maybe even you) would be saying something like, "I can't believe he's clowning around so much on TV while so many people are hurting in this economy -- how insensitive and out-of-touch!"

I have seen you on here and your very argumentative, don't wish to communicate with you. By the way I never mentioned Reagan.

Having a sense of humor is one thing, being classless and undignified is another. Obama does not have the dignity one should have to be the president.

Nah - just observant. - Obama takes the office of POTUS to the gutter. The guy's a punk. He was using this opportunity to lie to the people in his audience. He was misrepresenting the Republican position on the increase of interest on student loans. He, along with Jimmy Fallon, were lying to their youthful audience by saying that Republicans were in favor of the increase and were opposing his efforts to keep it from increasing. His classless deceit has no bounds. His classlessness was no so much that he was appearing on Jimmy Fallon's program but that he was lying through his teeth to a bunch of uninformed, mind-numbed idiots.

You have that right~

The president's job isn't to smile. It's to execute constitutional bills and control the military. The president should be 'uptight'. Especially on the job. He's been campaigning for almost 4 years now. ridiculous.

You mean, he should be serious and in control like this guy?

That's one of the reasons I loved the guy - but, the reality is that you could do that to anyone who speaks in public often. Do a montage on Joe Biden - you could get a couple of hours of bloopers on that moron. Obama has made a long list of bloopers himself and he has had only 3.5 years to compile his list.

I don't remember ever referring to junior as serious or in control, so no, that's a horrible example. Don't get it twisted, I'm not a party loyalist. The president shouldn't be on latenight tv promoting his agenda, regardless of which party he says he belongs to. He should be serious and in control like George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson.

I cannot begin to say how F%cking inappropriate this is, if ass kissing and pandering were an olympic sport this President would have a Platinum medal, I mean WTF over, more f&*king evidence of Hollywood controlling the election process, the dumbing down of America continues, we have hit rock bottom, the masses who have risen from the dung heap of society is eating this sh#t up like maggots on a pile of crap, we have got to have the most ignorant, uneducated, easily manipulated, dumb-asses on the face of this earth.

Me and my wife enjoyed that...I like the mic drop at the end.

That was a butt plug.

LOL, I got that one.

I guess it was a good election tactical move to connect his agenda with the different political game plan. This is an evident proof of his inefficiency to communicate with his peers to arrive to a true physical answer.

Honestly it seemed that he canny get the right response from congress now, what would change this inability to arrive to realtime solution when if hebwere to be reelected?

Call me prejudice, but I think that this man is the "coolest" man alive, he put the "C" in cool! What's the difference from President Obama's appearance than this appearance

Exactly. I see nothing wrong with Clinton playing the saxophone on TV, and I have no problem with Obama slow jamming the news. It proves that they are regular people that like to have fun.

There was nothing wrong with Clinton playing the saxaphone on TV, that was my point. People are very quick to criticize the president, when he is doing some of what others have done. I agree, the president is a regular and a decent guy. I loved it the two times that he sang, he's probably a fun guy,

I agree, he seems like a really fun guy. I would love to meet him.
