The 44th President was described as ‘relaxed, chatty’ during his State Of The Union address, when he was also seen to ‘laugh at his own jokes’ – prompting some to speculate that Obama has eyes for Jay Leno’s chair.
‘The jockeying at NBC got the President thinking that, maybe, just maybe, he should play to his strengths,’ said a White House source. ‘He’s always liked talking and bringing people together, so why not just get
paid for that?’ The source went on to say that the President had become disillusioned with politics, and began turning his eyes to Hollywood shortly after the recent party rout in Massachusetts.
He even has a sparring partner in mind – in fact, he has two. The President is torn between Union disputant Justice Samuel Alito and Republican heckler Joe Wilson to play Hank to his Larry.
Neither NBC nor the White House declined to comment.
