Leno asked Obama how things have changed since his last appearance, which was as a candidate, on the show.

"I asked Secret Service (in Costa Mesa), 'Why don't we walk over there?'" Obama said. "They said, 'Sir, that's 750 yards.'

"They let me walk on the way back, but the doctor's behind me with the defibrillator. Michelle jokes about how we have the ambulance, then the caboose, then the dog sled, then the submarine."

President Obama's appearance on Jay Leno was timed to draw the public's attention from ominous financial developments announced following the FOMC 2 day meeting.
The Fed basically went all-in,going to a "war footing" as a last resort effort vs the financial crisis going on all around.

US Federal Reserve announces massive increase in government debt

By Barry Grey
20 March 2009

The US Federal Reserve Board on Wednesday [3/19/2009]announced that it will massively expand its moves to pump liquidity into near-frozen credit markets, including a highly unusual plan to purchase up to $300 billion in longer-term Treasury securities over the next six months.

The plan also includes an additional $750 billion in Fed purchases of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the federally owned mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and an additional $100 billion in Fed purchases of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debt. These measures came as a surprise to global financial markets and triggered a simultaneous rush to buy Treasury bonds and a sharp sell-off of US dollars on world currency markets.

The announcement came in the statement issued by the Fed's policy-making Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) following its scheduled two-day meeting. As expected, the FOMC said it would continue to keep the Fed's benchmark federal funds rate?the interest charged by banks for overnight loans to one another?in a range of 0 to 0.25 percent, and would do so for the indefinite future.

But the announcement that the Fed would inject up to $1.15 trillion in additional funds into the US financial system?essentially printing that amount of additional dollars?was widely seen as something of a desperate gamble, motivated by concern over the deepening economic crisis as well as the mounting political crisis arising from public outrage over the $165 million in bonuses awarded to
executives and traders at the bailed-out insurance giant, AIG.

Stunned economic commentators and analysts referred to the Fed's announcement as a "shocking" admission that its previous efforts had failed to stabilize the banking system. The Financial Times carried a commentary under the headline "Fed's Shock and Awe," which began: "The Federal Reserve is on a war footing and is using the Powell doctrine?only go to war as a last resort, and do so with overwhelming force.

"The stunning news that it would buy $300 billion in Treasury bonds (and spend a lot more on many other fixed-interest securities) also used another classic military strategy. It had the element of surprise..."

His explanation of the AIG crap was explained so well that even a simple minded individual like Reaminator or Real Deal could understand

Doc;
President Obama was "stunned" when he learned of the AIG bonuses?That's hard to believe.
Meanwhile as Paul Craig Roberts describes it,the 165 million bonus controversy is an "orchestrated outrage" to divert attention from the exponentially larger 200 billion dollar AIG bailout.
Treasury Secretary Geithner's gonna withhold 165 million from a payout of 30 billion,so what?

BURBANK, Calif. ? President Barack Obama told Jay Leno on Thursday that he was stunned when he learned of the bonuses that bailed-out insurance giant AIG was paying its employees.
Obama told "The Tonight Show" host the payments raise moral and ethical problems ? and vowed again to try to recoup the cash for taxpayers.

[SIZE=+1]A Program of Financial Concentration [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+2]Was the Bailout Itself a Scam? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS [/SIZE]
March 19th,2009
Excerpts from:
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts03192009.html
[SIZE=+3]P[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]rofessor Michael Hudson (CounterPunch, March 18) is correct that the orchestrated outrage over the $165 million AIG bonuses is a diversion from the thousand times greater theft from taxpayers of the approximately $200 billion ?bailout? of AIG. Nevertheless, it is a diversion that serves an important purpose. It has taught an inattentive American public that the elites run the government in their own private interests. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Americans are angry that AIG executives are paying themselves millions of dollars in bonuses after having cost the taxpayers an exorbitant sum. Senator Charles Grassley put a proper face on the anger when he suggested that the AIG executives ?follow the Japanese example and resign or go commit suicide.?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Yet, Obama?s White House economist, Larry Summers, on whose watch as Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration financial deregulation got out of control, invoked the ?sanctity of contracts? in defense of the AIG bonuses. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]But the Obama administration does not regard other contracts as sacred. Specifically: labor unions had to agree to give-backs in order for the auto companies to obtain federal help; CNN reports that ?Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday [March 10] that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance?; the Washington Post reports that the Obama team has set its sights on downsizing Social Security and Medicare. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]According to the Post, Obama said that ?it is impossible to separate the country?s financial ills from the long-term need to rein in health-care costs, stabilize Social Security and prevent the Medicare program from bankrupting the government.? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]After Washington?s trillion dollar bank bailouts and trillion dollar gratuitous wars for the sake of the military industry?s profits and Israeli territorial expansion, there is no money for Social Security and Medicare. [/SIZE]

Treasury Secretary Geithner, the fox in charge of the hen house, has resolved the problem for us. He's going to withhold $165 million (the amount of the AIG bonuses) from the next taxpayer payment to AIG of $30,000 million. If someone handed you $30,000 dollars, would you mind if they held back $165?
