1. Why were there no video cutaways during Leno's routine?

Is it a rights issue?

2. Leno was lame...

The President had some much sharper digs than Jay. Whether it was a lack of miking the audience or
bad material, I thought this was one of the weakest WHCD's in recent memory. More Colbert, please!
:wtf:

3. I've never found him that funny;

And Leno sucks at most attempts. Seriously, Obama does not do the 'set-up' very well. But he does have his moments.

4. Agreed

Leno is known for stealing and recycling jokes and playing it safe. His the expiration date on his humor was November 12, 1987.

5. Leno is so lame...

Can ANY repukkkes be funny....I mean really worth a shit? Obviously not. Leno is so awful. He is awful on his show....terrible at this routine at the dinner last night...and why he continues to be "an item" is only explainable if you speak reich-wing-ese. I've said for years...the only reason this turd is still on the air waves is because he has some repukkke audience that refuse to let him die. I think limpballs is actually funnier.

A tip of my hat, again, to our Commander in Chief. What a CLASS ACT!!!

6. The President's got a pretty good sense of humor

even took a couple of funny jabs at the birthers.
