Obama: What Promises?

Obama just spent two days in California raising $4 million dollars for the Democratic National Committee.

Outside the Beverly Hills location of last night’s event, groups waving pride flags protested the California Supreme Court’s recent Prop. 8 decision (above). Obama apparently made eye contact with one of them as he entered the building, as he referenced them in his remarks:

“One of them said, ‘Obama keep your promise,’ ” the president said. “I thought that’s fair. I don’t know which promise he was talking about.”

Not funny, Obama. Not. Funny.

Perfect.

The CA Supreme Court is yet to issue their ruling on the legality of Prop 8 but most analysts agree that it will probably stand.

Obama To Appear On The “Tonight Show”

The New York Times is reporting that Obama will visit Leno at the Tonight Show on Thursday, as part of a visit to Southern California.

Sitting heads of states rarely venture into late night, making the move somewhat unprecedented. The interview will focus on the economy.

Will he be funny? “As funny as the times allow,” the White House said.
