President Obama made an appearance on The Late Show With My Boyfriend David Letterman last night. (I apologize for the herky-jerky-ness of the video--it's the only one out there.) 


How do you all feel about our President being on a late-night talk show? (I tell ya what--I'd far rather have President Obama on Letterman than that idiot Leno....Jaaayzus.)

Here are a couple of the less serious (read: hilarious) interactions between Letterman and Obama:



The best segment of the appearance was Letterman’s classic top ten list:

10. Heard the lady with the heart-shaped potato was gonna be here.

7. Every president since Teddy Roosevelt has done it.
6. Someone offers you 600 bucks you take it ladies and gentlemen.
5. We told him Megan Fox would be here.
4. Needed some time to hang out before check in time at his hotel.
3. I have no idea.

"First of all, I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election," Obama said to huge laughs from Letterman and the audience.

Responded Letterman: "How long have you been a black man?"

HA! Funny stuff...
