On Leno: Kids Ask Obama the Darndest Questions By Geoffrey Dickens Created 05/21/2013 - 9:47am

Ever since he announced he was stepping down as Tonight Show host Jay Leno has seemingly been harder on Barack Obama. Well on Monday's Tonight Show with Jay Leno that trend continued as Leno featured a clip of schoolchildren peppering the President with the tough questions that the press should be hammering him with on a daily basis.

Watch and laugh. (Video after the jump)

JAY LENO: Actually President Obama made a surprise visit to a school in Baltimore on Friday. And these kids, you know these little kids are so much more sophisticated nowadays. Here's the video. Take a look.

(Begin video clip of Obama meeting with children)

BARACK OBAMA: Hello everybody!

TEACHER: Here's our special guest.

OBAMA: Hi, how ya doing?

CHILD#1: In regards to Benghazi, what did you know and when did you know it?

CHILD#2: Mitch McConnell says you govern my intimidation. Is that true?

CHILD#3: Isn't it unconstitutional to secretly obtain phone records of AP reporters?

CHILD#4: Are Eric Holder's days numbered?

CHILD#5: Who inside hatched the plan to target conservatives?

(End clip)

LENO: Who are these kids? These kids are so sharp!

If only, sadly your kids are with left wing propagandists all day long who sing hymn about Der furher.

Leno is jumping on the bandwagon. He’s spent the last 5 years and years before that diminishing Conservatives and ridiculing us. Because he now throws up some embarrassing questions within a joke we are supposed to laud that now.

Hell no. Not enough...not enough by a long shot.

Leno is having a great time tweaking his Obama loving bosses at NBC. The commissars must be furious.

I’m astounded the National Broadcasting Communists network is allowing this, you would think they would have pulled the plug.

“Because he now throws up some embarrassing questions within a joke we are supposed to laud that now.

If he’s a convert, I welcome all converts and within reason will forgive past transgressions.

But, I think there’s more to this. Leno is being pushed out. Remember Leno works for some of the most rabid leftists in media. Now that Leno has been freed, with no concern about keeping a job he’s losing, perhaps this is what Leno really thinks? It serves to tweak his bosses, I’m sure of that.

Leno appears to be undergoing a Demascus Conversion ... ala St Paul.

Hey,better late than never.Consider this....Princess Liawatha (D-Obscure Massachusetts Indian Tribe) will go to her grave shouting that Osama Obama is greater than Jesus Christ Himself (but not quite as good as mohammed).

And Dennis Miller was a Democrat before 9/11. Look/listen to him now.

While this may be true, I still welcome Leno's barbs about Obama and the scandals (sounds like a singing group - "Obama and the Scandals.") Leno has a big audience, and it will get more people paying attention to what's really going on with this administration.

The response of his audience is encouraging.

The introduction of these events to comedian shows like this means the news is leaking out to the unwashed masses.

I once thought this too. However, let me give you an example. One night last week, Jon Stewart cut Obama a new one on his “I don’t know - Who? Me?” stuff. The next show he’d obviously been read the riot act from the WH because he was right back to his old sh!t. Even had that hag RINO appeasing Olympia Snowe on. Give me a break.

Leno is a funny looking twit who made his money saying funny things other people write. He’s spent millions on toy cars and happily cutting conservatives to bits each and every night he’s on the air. The fact that he’s on the way out with his multi-millions and now feels free to maybe have a conscience just isn’t enough for me. Let’s see if he gives, say, about 10 million to the Tea Party, and then I’ll shout Hosea!
