President Obama on Leno

Last night, President Obama became the first sitting President to appear on a late night TV show when he graced 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.'

Obama and Leno had a pretty cordial back-and-forth, obviously discussing the financial crisis for the better part of the interview among other topics.

Obama is in California to engage citizens in a series of town hall meetings to discuss the economic crisis and how his financial plan will help. 

There has been a little commotion over one of the President's remarks. When asked about his bowling, President Obama likened it to the Special Olympics. His staff members have already apologized for the remark, and are hoping the fallout from such a comment is minimal. Come on Barack. Let Leno make the jokes. Your street cred already went up just by being the first to appear on Leno. Leave the funny business to the comedians. 

Here is Leno's interview with President Obama in its entirety:
