BURBANK, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger first announced his candidacy on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." Might Barack Obama, who is considering a run for president, do the same?

"This is a great place. Everybody who has announced here has been successful," Leno hinted to Obama, who appeared on Friday's show.

"This is true, but I have to say that I've already committed to the Food Network to announce," Obama quipped before offering his standard answer to a question that follows him everywhere he goes.

"I think that if I'm going to run, then I've got to dive in early next year, and I've got a little bit of time," Obama said.

When Leno asked whether he would consider running for vice president, Obama said: "You don't run for vice president. So I don't think about it as much."

Earlier Friday, Obama gave a speech about fighting AIDS at the Saddleback Church in Orange County. His visit was a source of dispute among evangelical leaders, with some of the most conservative saying that a politician who supports abortion rights should not have been allowed to speak at such a prominent church.

"Everybody was reporting on me going to this church," Obama told Leno. "It was like, a Democrat in church!"

I don't want a pretty face who is being promoted heavily by the MSM in the White House.

What's the story with this dude, A US senator and he can't afford a tie? He looks more like an agent out of the middle east.

Look how haughty and reedy he looks in that picture.

People like their Presidents to be somewhat tall and muscular. Look at President Bush. He's athletic and he stays in shape.

Osama Obama was raised Muslim. He didn't convert to Christianity when he attended a catholic high school. Osmama has no chance of getting elected president.

The more time and money spent by the dems on him the better.

Please.

The left has been saying that about W for six years.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to oppose Obama. Inventing silly ones isn't necessary and doesn't help.

LOL. I see the publicity machine has created "The Myth of Obama". Isn't it amazing what they can do today? I hear they can with the technology just about make anyone a singer. And that would be a miracle for me since I have one of the worst singing voices ever.

Anyway, please think twice before believing these man made myths.
