He is NOT. There were a lot of people who took offense to what the President said. Personally, I'm not one of them. That doesn't mean it wasn't offensive. I just feel that with the country in shambles, we have more things to worry about than being PC.

As for his appearance, I think it goes back to what people were saying in this thread earlier. The President needs to project more confidence in the country and in the economy. This was just another way to reach out to the people, to give a confident and relaxed appearance, joking with Leno. I heard it called the new millennium's version of FDR's Fireside Chat.
