About Last Night

By now we all know that President Obama was on "The Tonight Show" last night. We all know that he compared his bowling skills to that of a Special Olympics athlete. A surprisingly dumb, inarticulate thing for a normally intelligent, articulate person to say. What bothers me more though is how common the presidency is becoming. Once upon a time it would have been unthinkable for a sitting president to appear on a late night gab fest. I don't want the president of the United States to be just another guest, to be an entertainer. I expect more of someone who holds the highest office in the land. It may be old fashioned but I think it's just a bit demeaning for the President of the United States to be a talk show guest.
