Yes, a modern president has to communicate with the American and world community in as many ways as possible. Obama can’t be seen as hiding in the White House. He must sell his economic policies, defend his positions, and get on the right side of growing anti-wall street populism. I disagree with those who feel a seat next to Leno isn’t “Presidential.”Being likeable, accessible, and “real” are not luxuries for a president in time of crisis, they are necessities.

Do I want Obama putting on funny hats and participating in pet trick skits on late night TV? No. But he can certainly have a conversation with Leno and any other host to communicate his priorities to the nation.
