Obama enjoys "The Fame"!!

I was watching The Insider the other day and one of their main headlines was "Obama on the Late Night Show with David Letterman".It wasn’t shocking news for me. Yet I find it quite interesting that he marks history as the first President of the United States to appear on a late night talk show. President Obama was condemned by many people and on several tabloid television programs. Criticism included that “he is not fit for president” and that “he is busy working on his celebrity life and fame rather than fixing the problems conjoined with the country”. I personally believe that because the late night talk shows are the most viewed shows across America, Obama intended to make an appearance on one of the late night talk shows to advocate and deliver his message “America is undergoing a positive reform”. I had a feeling that Obama is trying to introduce a new vista on presidency. We, the public, have always had this view that all presidents must be strict and rigid. I guess it's up to the public whether to accept Obama’s appearance on the Late Night Show with David Letterman or not, but I find no need to over-react. It’s obvious that Obama is very much relying on modern technologies to give out a speech to the public. I find no problem associated with his reliance on modern technologies; he is just trying to “fit in” and adapt to the whole “21st century virtual world”. Why make a big fuss out of it?

  1. I definitly agree you on your last statement why make a big fuss out of it?
    Obama is the first african american to actaully rule the U.S thus "obama-haters" are trying to find anything to use against him.
    I have a similar perspective on your perception of Obama as I believe he is a strong dedicated leader willing to change the U.S in a positive manner

  2. I'd have to agree on that although his reliance on modern technologies could be his undoing, but he should use it as he needs to in his state of running a country.

  4. They’re probably not use to a “modern president” and I find that not a problem because it will gradually fade as the new generation comes since technology is a huge thing in their life.
