jay leno got the member hoe on all of the negative coverage that the president supposedly received andecided that he was going to unilaterally reverse that. look, he is going to be nice to the president because he wants him to be back on. and the president is in campaigner in chief mode. this is what we've seen again and again and i think everything he does and says from this point on has to be viewed in that context. >> i mentioned the students loan program, jehmu, the president is trying to make it easier for students who took out loans, make it easier for them to walk away from some of the those obligations and leave the taxpayers paying for it. has that been covered in the media? i mean, sure, everybody wants poor students to, you know, be able to aboard the education they've just had, but taxpayers paid for it. has that been covered. >> i think that the white house probably nis it's not covered as much as it should have. it's a message to get out to young people and inspire the coalition. >> kelly: you think it's a good program. >> as a good program, because he's providing relief

here what what happens with jay leno as you know miller been on many times. ay will come in and rap with you. comes on in with jeans and spirit and motorcycle stuff and he says look this is what we have want to do. obama got his guys threatened a formulate what they want to say. i'm telling you i don't think it's an accident that the survivor thing after you said it was used. but i could be wrong. >> i do. i just think jay -- listen, jay likes obama. is he fond of him, i think. he likes having presidents on the show. quite frankly, i'm sure they feed him a few lines. i would, too. god, you get the president on. you want him to look good. i wish i could be calm as barack obama on television. that guy is smooth, man. >> bill: i said that top of the program very smooth. you are very calm though. when i go on leno and letterman i'm calm. >> i sometimes get a little antsy. is he so smooth that i'm hoping jay makes him his ed mcmahon on june 21st, 2013 because i think he is going to have some free time. i would put obama there in the ed mcmahon place. >> january 21s

that said, it's typical jay leno.portunity for the president to sit down with somebody who's pretty friendly and throw if not all softballs at least some questions that are letting the president say what he wants to say. he got more time than he would typically get with a regular television anchor or a mainstream media resource. i think the president did a great job. it's seen more than any of the sound bites you see. here the president is saying all the things he wants to say. my favorite was when he talked about the fact that trick-or-treating time is coming up and the first lady wants to hand out fruit. the president said they're going to egg the white house. i was trying to figure out if somebody actually tried to egg the white house. i don't think that is something you could do very easily. can you imagine how much toilet paper? i'm here. no, it's in the going to happen. >> i think those snipers that stand on top of the white house would have a problem with all of that. >> they might have something to say about y

he also did have a little bit of fun on this trip, stopping by and talking to jay leno. they talked about everything from libya to the republican field. the president having a bit of fun with that when jay asked him, have you been watching the republican race closely? and he said, i'm not going to really get too involved until almost everyone has been voted off of the island. so this trip certainly a big mixture, savannah. >> and i want to play another portion of his interview on leno where he talked about that beloved rumor in washington that somehow vice president biden and secretary clinton might swap jobs in the next term. let's listen to what he had to say. >> this is a fun story. this is stuff i love. this rumor that joe biden and hillary might swap, and she might run for vice president is. there any -- >> i think that they are doing great where they are. and, you know, both of them are racking up a lot of miles. joe tends to go more to pittsburgh. hillary is going to karachi. but, you know, the -- but they have both got important work to do. they're doing great. >>

last night during his second appearance on "the tonight show with jay leno." >> now, have you been watching the gop debates? >> i'm going to wait until everybody's voted off the island. >> really? >> once they narrow it down to one or two, i'll start paying attention. >>> elsewhere, a newly released report on income levels in this country may shed some light as to why more and more frustrated americans are taking to the streets in protest. according to the nonpartisan congressional budget office, the disparity between how much money americans make has risen sharply over the past three decades. from 1971 to 2007, income for the wealthiest 1% nearly tripled, far outpacing income growth for all over groups. >>> well, while the majority of demonstrations sympathizing with occupy wall street across the country have been largely peaceful, that was not the case yesterday in california. riot police in oakland used tear gas and flash bangs to disperse anti-wall street protesters camped out in front of city hall fort past two weeks. the crowd had been ordered to disperse earlier in the day, but they

he had been scheduled to show up at the jay leno show. there he is in the jay leno burbank studios. you probably didn't realize this. but it's a good thing that the jay leno show is taped, the presidential motorcade got stopped in traffic on highway 101. they were 10 minutes late. within moments, they were yucking it up and talking politics. listen. >> when mitch mcconnell says our goal is to make this guy a one term president. i mean, why is -- does that anger you? how is that a goal? >> well, look, i think the thing that folks across the country are most fed up, whether you're democrat, republican, independent is putting party ahead of country or putting the next election ahead of the next generation. i'm going to wait until everybody's voted off the island. >> really? >> once they narrow it down to one or two, i'll start paying attention. >> that second question was who -- what do you think about the cast of candidates that want your job? and he said he's going to wait until -- >> that's not exactly true because they put out a press release yesterday, the white house, talking abo

i know the president made a few jokes with jay leno last night. but many americans are wondering about that herman cain ad and whether he was joking with his chief of staff smoking. was all of that for real? >> reporter: it is absolutely for real. there's no subliminal message in that ad. he's just a smoker. he also says that herman cain is just herman cain. and that is why american voters like him. this ad has certainly generated a lot of buzz for the cain campaign. it was a hot topic on "the view" yesterday. it is probably got him more mileage if he had done a straight issues ad or went after mitt romney or rick perry. the polls show that herman cain's campaign is on fire. and apparently it's also smoking, too. >> can't figure out the political calculation behind that one. but i'm sure there is. abc's karen travers live in washington. thanks, karen. >>> republicans are calling on congressional investigators to expand their probe of the administration's green energy loan program. they want to know more about the $500 million in federal money that

so he will be sitting down with jay leno. fun moments, but also a chance for the president to continue to push congress to act on his jobs bill. this trip from the president is really focused, at least the first part of it, on helping americans who are struggling to stay in their homes, to be able to do so. revamping the mortgage program, the government mortgage program. it's expected to impact about 1 million americans. the sense is that the depressed housing market is pulling down the economic recovery. that is why you're seeing the president pushing in this direction along those homeowners who are under water. in other words, they owe more on their homes than they're actually valued. it will also lower some of the fees or do away with some of the fees that are holding back these homeowners from getting a chance to refinance, and the idea is that if you make it easier for these homeowners to refinance, they get lower rates, they'll end up with more money in their pockets and then they can spend that money which can help inj
