8. Here's the top 10:

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

9. Thought it would be fun to watch someone else get heckled.

8. Something to do with that whole Cash for Clunkers deal.

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.

2. Said yes, without thinking, like Bush did with Iraq.

4. Obama & Letterman make

a great team. The best setting that the President could have to communicate to the most people. Many more people would watch Obama on Letterman than all the Sunday talk shows. Also Letterman brought out Obama as he is at his best. A brilliant move by Obama's strategists.

5. I'm sure the audience was coached to give a standing ovation. The ENTIRE crowd did

when the President came on the show.

7. are you serious? these things are spontaneous!

[bikesein]

10. Sounds like the audience

behaved better than Congress did!

6. I thought the same thing . . .

Letterman and Obama seemed like two intelligent guys comfortably talking about this and that, going from humorous to serious without any awkward gaps. The time just flew by.
