Barack Obama Talks The NBA Lockout & The Kardashians

My favorite President and my step-daddy in my head, Barack Obama visited Jay Leno while he toured the west coast. I love everything about Obama. He’s articulate and he’s for the people. I’d vote for him a million times if I could.

In the clip above President Obama talks Gaddafi, our troops coming home and Bin Laden.

Check out some of his more pop culture highlights below.

On the NBA lockout
Well, look, if you look at the NFL, they were able to settle theirs — and I think they understood. Players were making millions of dollars. Owners, some of us are worth billions of dollars. We should be able to figure out how to split a $9 billion pot so that our fans, who are allowing us to make all of this money, can actually have a good season. And I think the owners and the basketball players need to think the same way.

I think they need to remind themselves that the reason they are so successful is because a whole lot of folks out there love basketball. Basketball has actually done well, but these types of lockouts take a long time to recover from.

On “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”
I’m probably a little biased against reality TV [cue rimshot!], partly because there’s this program on C-Span called Congress. But no, I have not seen the show…[but] I think the girls have seen it.
