Obama on Letterman Video Obama on Letterman last night pushing health care and a couple of good one liners. Obama told Letterman on a serious note when addressing health care: “The American people, I think, gave me this extraordinary honor. That tells you a lot, I think, about where the country is at.” Obama said he chose to appear on Letterman, not to push healthcare, but because he “wanted to congratulate Dave on the big Emmy win.” (Letterman lost to Jon Stewart).
Then Dave came back by asking about the Obama girls. Obama - “They bascially just goofed off during the summer, which I couldn’t do.” Letterman - “Others have.” On the girls dating in the White House: Obama - “I suppose they are going to want to go on dates and I’ll have all these men with guns around. At that point they may have some stress.”
