I have a question for the libs regarding the appearance on the tonight show. I have read the posts comparing this to FDR's fireside chats, but I really can't see how these are similar. The fireside chats were nothing more than his weekly radio address to keep the public informed and confident in his leadership. Besides publicity, I really don't see what BO is going to get out of this appearance. He is being interviewed on a talk show. I am thinking that the subject matter is going to more about moving into the white house, his blackberry and his kids. I really don't see this as a chance for him to push his political plans.
IMO, he would be better off just scheduling a TV address to the nation during prime time. Just seems to be a better option to me.
It should be noted that I believe that BO is more of a puppet to the Dem Party, specifically Polosi. But in the end, he is the one that everyone is going to look at...
