[Barack Obama on David Letterman - Full Video Via: Ilovepwnage]
Typically on these late night talk shows you have some A-Lister shilling their movie followed by a C-lister or animal tamer willing to pimp anything. Last night President Barack Obama took up both spots and was David Letterman’s only guest.
Obama mentioned the health care reform issue that is tearing most Americans support in him. He also had some snarky quips of his own when it came to the subject of Jimmy Carter accusing South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, of being a racist.
“I think it’s important to realize that I was actually black before the election. One of the things that you sign up for in politics is that folks yell at you,” the president said, noting that “whenever a president tries to bring about significant changes, particularly during times of economic unease, there is a certain segment of the population that gets very riled up.”
