WHITE HOUSE - OBAMA TO GUEST ON LENO'S TONIGHT SHOW

OBAMA TO GUEST ON LENO'S TONIGHT SHOW

It may be rare -- if not unheard of -- for a sitting president of the U.S. to appear on a TV variety show when he is not engaged in an election campaign, but on Monday the White House announced that President Obama will be Jay Leno's guest on the Tonight show on Thursday. The Associated Press commented that the visit may be regarded as an effort by the president "to add a light touch to his effort to get the economy back on track."
