In-between the casual chitchat, funny one-liners and general repartee, Obama offered up some of his thoughts and future plans regarding the nation’s economy, education and health care. In time, the president feels he can put “a strong foundation” in place that will give the nation more stability. In time, he also hopes to improve his bowling game. The two talked of AIG bonuses, the necessity of functioning banks and how cool it really is to ride on Air Force One.
The Leno interview was a nice mix of casual talk and formal presidential policy, a good balance between Obama the man and Obama the symbol. I think that together, Leno and the president make a pretty decent pair - but I’m still more of a Letterman fan. See some bits and pieces of the interview below:

[quote author="BuckeyeFanatic25" date="1212572999"]Well, it seems like it has definitely divided the Democratic party, which is good or bad depending what side of the political aisle you are on... but yes this nomination has gone on way too long, and while it was exciting for politics in general, it is time to move onto the general election. Clinton needs to drop out immediately and back Obama if the Democrats want to win in the fall (which they should because of the toxic environment for Republicans these days...)[/quote] Well i am sure Hillary will go an support Obama against the Republicans. They need unity now since it is a very very important election.
