BURBANK, Calif. – President Barack Obama has told Jay Leno he was stunned when he learned of the bonuses that bailed-out insurance giant AIG was paying its employees.

But Obama added the bigger problem is the culture that allowed traders to claim them. He says that's got to change if the economy is to recover.

I wasn’t supposed to release this, but I managed to get a clip of tonight’s show.

Apparently Obama is going to tell us what he really thinks of Biden.

"What is this beeber you speak of"

"Beeber" and "Stune" entered the FReeper Lexicon much in the same way "PeePole" and "You half no lives" just recently entered the lexicon via a thread with some ill timed typos.

FReepers are notorious for taking typos and turning the thread the were posted in into legendary events.

A classic line from that movie and would have been fitting:

Round up the usual suspects.

The culture that allowed AIG, FANNIE MAE, FREDDIE MAC and the rest of the high wheeler and dealers also allowed a man with a questionable Birth Certificate and one who will not allow anyone to see his education records.
