AceShowbiz - President Barack Obama made a stop on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday, June 9 and he made it memorable by taking part in "Slow Jam the News". With only seven months left before leaving the White House, POTUS took a look back at his accomplishments during his eight-year presidency.
"It's been an honor and a privilege to serve as your president over the last eight years," he said, before boasting about what he had achieved. Jimmy Fallon, standing in front of the President, delivered his lines and made it sound sexy, "Oh yeah, President Obama stimulating long term grown, and both the public and private sector. In 2008 the country wasn't feeling in the mood, too tired and stressed, said it had a headache. Barack lit some candles and got some silky satin sheets and told the American people 'yes we can.' "
Obama continued by mentioning his green energy plans and how same sex couples could marry now. "In short climate change is real, health care is affordable and love is love," he added. "You gotta listen to my man Bareezy, he's accomplished a lot in eight years, even when congress tried to block him, he found a way in the back door," Fallon responded, trying not to crack up at his own lines which sounded racy.
When Obama mentioned his TPP trade deal, Fallon responded, "So this trade deal will help put everyday Americans back to..." and his band broke into Rihanna's "Work". Obama also noted that America had a big decision to make in the upcoming election. When he said that some of the candidates may have proposed controversial policies, Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter sang, "He's talking 'bout Donald Trump."
In another segment, President Obama sat behind Fallon's desk to write "thank you" notes together. When talking about the election, he revealed that he had "spoken to Hillary and Bernie at certain points during the campaign, and I don't know if they asked me for advice, but I give it anyway."
He said of the two candidates, "It was a healthy thing for the Democratic Party to have a contested primary. I thought that Bernie Sanders brought enormous energy and new ideas, and he pushed the party and challenged them. I thought it made Hillary a better candidate. I think she is whip smart. She is tough. And she deeply cares about working people and putting kids through school and making sure we're growing our economy."
Of Donald Trump, Obama said, "The truth is I am actually worried about the Republican Party. You want the Republican nominee to be somebody who could do the job if they win... This is not reality TV."
