Jay Leno played a clip of President Obama dancing as 'Magic Mike' (Photo: Screen Shot / NBC)
Jay Leno took shot after shot at President Obama on The Tonight Show on Monday, mocking his “appeal” with women voters, slamming him on the unemployment rate, and even making a reference to the Fast and Furious scandal.
“One thing about President Obama, he knows how to use pop culture to his advantage, you know, while he’s campaigning,” Leno said during his opening monologue.
“You know Obama is trying to appeal to women voters, and now he‘s using some of that ’Magic Mike’ charisma,” he continued, referring to a new movie about male strippers.
You will want to see this video of Obama “speaking” before a crowd of adoring women, via NBC:
After that, Leno proceeded to mock the president’s handling of the economy, Fast and Furious, and immigration reform.
“Well the record-breaking heat that has been affecting the rest of the country now is starting to hit Los Angeles,” Leno began, “I was sweating like President Obama trying to spin the latest unemployment numbers!”
“It was so hot, Eric Holder was smuggling water pistols,” he continued. “That’s how hot it was!”
“It was so hot, immigrants are crossing the border on slip-’n-slides…”
Watch the clip, via Mediaite, below (relevant section ends at around 30 seconds):
While many conservatives are happy that the famous comedian is bringing matters like Fast and Furious to the mainstream, others say it’s too little too late.
“Did his audience even laugh?” one commenter asked. “Did they have a clue what he was talking about? Clearly, the news media has hardly covered the fast and furious story… I bet he apologizes tonight for stepping over the line!”

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 3:54pmMy comments relate to the Office of the President of the United States of America. I am not a fan of President Obama or his progress, socialist policies; AND, I want President Obama to be a one term President as much as most of you, but this “joke” crosses the line of common decency. It is time for people to start taking the high road and not stoop as low, if not lower, than those who oppose “us”. “Freedom” means “responsibility”, NOT just I’m going to do /say whatever I want, whenever I want. TAnd just because I can do a thing doesn’m mean I should do that thing. That video was disturbing not only it its content, but also from the standpoint that “we” think it is OK show this type of think to get a laugh. Well – only the left will be laughing if he gets reelected.

Really, I’d say Obama crossed that line long ago, when he has used his bully pulpit, to bully TV personalities, Police, Judges, Tea Party Protesters and News organizations, Oh, yeah and as a stage for him to mock the American public, you might remember when he sang? or when he joked about shovel ready jobs? not to say the Green Job, you know when he and his friends hit the American people 20 plus billion…?
So yeah the line has been crossed but not by any joke, skit or video but his actions…!

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 9:13amDan_O, if what you‘re concerned about is Leno being disrespectful to the office of the presidency I’m afraid President Obama already blew that one out of the water by bowing to every foreign dictator he meets. Hard to have any respect for a guy who holds the office of the president of the US in such little regard.

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 3:10pmAfter 3 1/2 years of no jokes about Obama, late night comedians are starting to lighten up. They didn’t make jokes when Obama said he had been to 57 of the states in the US. They didn’t make jokes when Obama said that he had eaten dogs. I wonder why they’re starting now.

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 3:01pmAs one of the unfortunate movie-goers that paid to see the movie, Magic Mike, seeing this clip of the president just sickened me even more. Judging from the movie trailer, I thought Magic Mike was to be a light comedy and was eager to see it. It was NOT in the least bit funny. I and the two other people that were with me found it to be disgustingly raw, perverse, and very UN-funny. We ended up walking out of the theater after the first 20 minutes or so. I’m sure the movie, and the graphic vulgarity, became worse as the movie progressed. Didn’t think I could become anymore disgusted regarding that movie, but seeing Obama‘s head on one of the stripper’s bodies – my disgust has reached new heights. :((

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 3:40pmAt least we didn’t have to look at the real Obama doing this… yuck! I find him singularly unattractive- purply silver lips, stick out ears, that mole, skin and bones body, and I can’t get the image of that big fly sitting on his upper lip (that he didn’t even notice). It was at that point that I decided he must be some kind of robot. A very destructive, evil robot.

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 7:15pmlol Nancy, the movie was about male strippers! What did you think you were going to see??? Really, I find it fairly lame to say how disgusted and appalled when the trailers and previews are VERY clear about the plot and content. So…did you go back and see the rest without your friends? lololololol

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 1:20pmHello, Alex Alvarez, the commenter asking if Jay’s audiance understsnds his jokes. Alex, if you spent more of your time and money to elect uncorrupt politicians down south and helping LA schools teach real subjects, there would be more and better jobs there and here. Knowledge is power; it gives one the ability to understand more than subtle jokes.
