I think the fact that Leno is retiring might have something to do with it as well. I don't have a problem at all with any President going on TV shows- I know it's common practice with leaders elsewhere in the world, and I don't see how it diminishes the office in any way. I think we've already established that he and his wife are fairly normal people (Gasp! Didn't he appear without a jacket in the Oval office?) and what better way to connect with the public than on the Tonight Show? I never watch it, but I'll be sure to tune in to this one.
