During the interview, Tonight Show host and human bobble head Jay Leno pressed Obama about several hot-button issues including Trayvon Martin, the National Security Agency and Edward Snowden, the economy, Obamacare, the recent Embassy closings in the Middle East, and so on.
Since when were the Washington Redskins this genial? On last night’s edition of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, it seemed there was no limit to how much Robert Griffin III could charm the audience.

JibJab: ‘It’s Good to Be In D.C.’
The creators of the ubiquitous political flash film This Land have released another work, this time declaring It’s Good To Be In D.C. While we appreciate the subject matter (It is good to be here!) the flash doesn’t quite measure up to This Land – which the brothers readily admit on their blog: “In truth, we’re a couple of whores. Jay Leno asked if we’d be interested in making another one to debut on The…
