Obama on Jay Leno!

I wanted to post this before going to work this morning. Senator Obama was on the Late Show with Jay Leno last night and Barack had this to say after the show:

I’m leaving the Tonight Show studio and I wanted to share something.

Jay Leno just asked if it bothers me that some of the Washington pundits are declaring Hillary Clinton the winner of this election before a single vote has been cast.

I’ll tell you what I told him: Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare “Mission Accomplished” a little too soon.

We started this week $2.1 million behind the Clinton campaign — a lead they built in large part with contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs.

We don’t accept money from federal lobbyists or PACs. But we’ve already cut that advantage in half with small donations from people like you.

Let’s close the rest of that gap now. Please make a donation of $50: https://donate.barac…

In Colorado, out of more than 8,000 total donors, over 7,000 contributions have been under $200 pushing the grassroots campaigns fundraising efforts to over $1.6 million. This is an unbelievable accomplishment for a campaign that is taking on the Washington establishment.

If you missed the tonight show, here is a write up of it. http://thecaucus.blo…

Sorry I don’t have the time to find the video. Perhaps I can add it later.
