Just wanted to bump this as a reminder. Dave asks good questions and I think Obama may use tonight's appearance to hit back (or at least i hope he does)

Clinton was on Arsenio once.

And I think Clinton was on Oprah too-- or maybe it was the other way around.

Clinton played the sax on Late Night, I think! He was played like a sax in the White House.

Clinton played the sax on Arsenio.

I can't wait for tonight! Especially with lipstickgate going on! I would not put it past Letterman to have a pig with lipstick on! And this may be a chance to bring out the humorous side in Obama. Letterman can be good at doing that.

I really, really want Obama to read a "Top Ten Reasons To Put Lipstick On A Pig" list.

This should be great.

And Arsenio's talk show was hugely underrated, IMO. I'll never forget this quote:

'Well, excuse me, George Herbert irregular-heart-beating, read-my-lying-lipping, slipping-in-the-polls, do-nothing, deficit-raising, make-less-money-than-Millie-the-White-House-dog-last-year, Quayle-loving, sushi-puking Walker Bush. I don't remember inviting your ass to my show.' — Arsenio Hall, after Bush stated he would never appear on Arsenio like Bill Clinton.

Tell me you had that committed to memory.

I did for a while, but alas I had to google.

On the lipstick-on-a-pig comment: "If I had meant it that way, technically she would be the lipstick. And the failed policies would be the pig."

Priceless.

Wasn't Obama spectacular? Funny but still scored solid points and explained complicated issues so even Dave could understand them.

I watched last night. I thought he was great!

And I saw Clinton on Arsenio as well.

It's so cool to see Dave when he actually seems to LIKE his guest.
