Leno appearance, was this a mistake?

On Thursday night, President Obama appeared on Jay Leno's show and some are wondering if this was a mistake or glory. Personally, I believe this is a huge mistake. In a recent article from FOX News, this was the first sitting President appearance by any of our leaders on a talk show. In the middle of an economic crisis one has to wonder whether Obama is trying to up his credentials or genuienly cares about whats going on in the world, such as are worsening economy. One media analyst told Fox News that, "it is no accident that no President has ever done a show like this." Perhaps because this shows that he is not only a President, but now he is just another talk show guest. There are far more things to do than for him to be present on a talk show, and not only this but I believe it decreases his credibility. Talk shows to me are for entertainment. They're funny, comically, and sinister. Most times shows as these are making fun of the worldly news and Obama going on a show as this makes him a perfect target for this. It was also noted that Obama was caught cracking jokes about the Special Olympics. Basically, shows as these are to entertain and those who watch shows such as these want the entertainment so it is no wonder that guest, even Obama, get caught up in jokes and often times making fun of issues, as he did.
In conclusion, one has to wonder, was this a mistake? Personally, yes this was. Obama must not worry so much about becoming an entertainer or "the people's choice" but solely to run the country. No one wants entertainment from him and no one needs to like him, we just want him to fix our country, in which so far does no look promising.
