Barack Obama on Jay Leno

President Barack Obama went on the Late Show with Jay Leno to get the real scoop about what's going on. So, Obama told Leno that he was "stunned" when he learned about the bonuses that were being given out to AIG employees, after AIG was bailed out by federal money. However, one of the men on Obama's administration was very much in contact with AIG, as a former employee... so how did Obama not know about all the financial shenanigans going on over at AIG? (Some food for though)

When Jay Leno went on to ask Obama about the bonuses that the AIG executives received, Obama again said he was shocked that the executives there had such a feeling of entitlement, that even after being bailed out, they even accepted the bonuses! (Maybe President Obama needs to take a step back join the real world for a couple minutes.) So, of course, Obama also gave much praise to his Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, explaining how Geithner is doing an outstanding job despite the allegations and the pressure. Instead of just fixing the financial problems, everyone is pointing fingers, trying to escape the blame... even our president claims he didn't know what was going on.

But is this episode not just what one would expect from obama? Rather than using his time in such endeavours he should release his birth certificate, his school records and his medical records---and stop trying to hide the fact that he was not born in the USA---and so is our 'pseudo-prez'.
What a shame that the first Black had to be such a disloyal, dishonest, America-hating person! There are many, many loyal, honest Black Americans who would have been a better choice.

Does he really think we Americans are so stupid as to believe his consistent lying about not knowing what has gone on???---just because he is dense doesn't mean the rest of us are.

God help us.

Why is everything that obama do is wrong and is critize ?when Bush iis the one that really but this nation in the fix that it is in today, and while he was doing that nothing was done about. it. Is it because obama is Black and very intelligent?

Obama will say whatever makes him look good. He lies all the time.

"I'm shocked, SHOCKED - to learn that gambling is going on in this establishment. It is closed until further notice - Rick, where are my winnings? (sic)"

Obama has solidified MANY individual's already existing belief in entitlement. He's giving them MORE - while we spin in the wind and are ignored - or called names by high government officials,
This is NOT MY America,

And NO President should be laughing away with a GD Comedian who happens to be popular on national television.
The most dangerous place in Washington is no longer anywhere between Joe Biden and a camera - Obama has stolen that trophy. He's on NOW!!!
Quit campaigning and get to work..

You repukelicans had YOUR America for 20 of the last 28 years and you F***'d it up SO bad that we were on the very edge of economic meltdown. Not a recession, not a depression but a complete ECONOMIC MELTDOWN that would have made the Grapes of Wrath look like a kid's party. YOUR America SUCKS!!!

In MY America everyone has the opportunity to get as much education as their brains can absorb and jobs commensurate with their education and abilities that will provide them with a living wage. In MY America there were jobs available to every American at every skill level. For the life of me I don't see why you people have a problem with that.

As long as we pay for it, right? Well guess what? We don't have any left! (hahaha) What we DO have YOU won't find - not even with your so-called experts at the helm.
Brenda to Jim October 20, 2009 03:08:23

The way you talk, sounds like YOU need more education. You can't even spell "Republican"!!! Maybe Obama can pay for your education instead of us taxpayers. I'm sick and tired of working so hard so that deadbeats like you can get a 'free ride'. By the way, Reagan did not raise taxes and economy was great when he was in office. And he was a Republican!

Jay Leno and Obama are two Pea in the same POD, don't expect much. One likes to collect cars and the other is giving us "CHANGE" and want everyone one to kiss his Ring, Leno wake up, Dennis Miller Did, There is still time for you, unless your getting kick backs?
chief00 to les June 15, 2009 01:10:21

Dennis Miller is a jerk if he woke up he needs to go back to sleep.

I have always heard "IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE". I would be ashamed to say that I did not know about something that I should have known. Obama puts the blame on everybody else. Also Timothy Geithner is a real dummy.
unity c... to ginger ... June 18, 2009 01:40:18

No,no,no - if Tim Geithner has been there as an employee, seems to me he'd be the best person on earth to fix it for us. Cool it, give up your replicanism and let democrats fix what you so badly messed up in the last adm.

So - How's he doin'?
What I see is NOTHING!

Obama is a fake and a liar. He should be jailed as a illegal person. When I get passport I need a birth record why not Obama for president. The hatred that the left has stunned everyone. They cant believe that this is happening in the USA. Everyone that i know that voted for him regret it.
chief00 to lkb June 15, 2009 01:20:35

Bush was the ultimate fake and liar. He lied about the reasons to go to war. He lied about how prisoners were being treated. He is the true liar. Yet another white person asking for a birth certificate when no other president was ever asked for it. Why ask the minority for it. It would be one thing if EVERY president was being treated like this but it seems to be only if you aren't white that they treat you like this. Why is that? And they say America is supposed to be a melting pot. Only if you are white is it supposed to be a melting pot. The hatred that the white, oops I mean the right is what is stunning everyone. You guys are the ones calling Obama all the names, making up lies about him, hoping the president fails. You guys are so stupid that you can't even realize if he fails THE COUNTRY fails. But I guess just to prove your point you want us all to fail. How hateful is that???
34thBom... to chief00 September 23, 2009 14:31:53

Quit blaming everything on Bush, his Father, and even Reagan for God's sake. Lay the blame where it belongs - on THIS guy's watch.
One more statement by one more idiot which is pushing me toward racism and bigotry.
Could it be that NO previous President has NOT been born overseas? NO previous President spent his entire youth in a foreign Country? That we STILL don't know who he is and what he stands for? HE's the one who screwed up about the land of his birth - and it sure wasn't Hawaii...
I'll bet he's VERY glad that his Mother and now his Grandmother are dead. No one can got to them for the truth - and ALL his relatives are in Africa - go figure.
Jim to 34thBom... October 08, 2009 18:47:09

I don't care if Obama was born on the freaking moon. The thing you should realize is that NO republican could have won against WHOEVER the Democratic Party put up. They could have picked some gang banger straight out of prison to run against McCain and still won.

Now it's time for you and your ilk to SIT DOWN AND STFU UP!! I'm SICK of hearing your blathering.
Macl to chief00 September 27, 2009 19:55:16

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Chief......~sigh~.....The thing you need to do to defend Obama is to stay on fact. Stop acting like a child. Pointing fingers, blaming this, blaming that, you need to stay on fact. ~SIGH~ You are only reinforcing the notion that Liberals can not hold their own with Conservatives when it comes to FACTS. That they resort to name calling and personal attacks when they are backed into a corner! You have a very basic misunderstanding of how to present your case. You are sounding like a child! Come forth with facts in your hand and the references to back them up. Man up. Be strong. Be independent. Stand on your own two feet. Present your case with hard hitting examples of the truth. Truth that YOU have researched. Not what has been spewed out some news media and told to be the gospel truth, think man, think! Think for yourself! If you need some help in doing this I would be glad to be of service. America will not fail if Obama fails, Conservatives understand that Obama's PLANS for America will cause her to fail. Because in a nut shell, they grind against the Constitution which MADE America great.
You see Conservatives understand that we have an imperfect government, led by imperfect men and we need the divine guidance of God in Heaven to lead us to the right answers....

You see Conservatives understand that we have an imperfect government, led by imperfect men and we need the divine guidance of God in Heaven to lead us to the right answers. Liberals believe that government IS the answer. We do not! It is the divine guidance of God and the PEOPLE of this great country. Obama can not cure the ills of this country....No president can! It goes much deeper than that. The best any sitting president can do is set the tone and atmosphere for the free flow of ideas, people and plans to come forth. Conservatives believe that Obama has put a strangle hold on that path and therefore has put the country on a dangerous course of being way too one-sided
What we must do, you and I, and all others is argue in the arena of ideas, values and beliefs. Not name calling and finger pointing. People on both of our sides have done that to determent of both.
I am an American. Proud of it! I am a Conservative. Proud of that too! I would wish for ALL Americans to be healthy, successful and happy....including you too Chief00 !
