Blow up CNN, Faux and all the other "news networks". They are completely worthless. I've never been a huge Leno fan, but this was a very solid interview. He covered more substantive information that all 4 of the debates combined.

And likewise for the times when Letterman and Stewart have done these interviews.

I've always understood him to be a republican, but he genuinely seems to be enjoying the company of the President. He's evidently a better host than I've been giving him credit for.
