About the photo: Presidential Candidate Barack Obama appears with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show in November of 2008.
The President has developed a habit of taking his case direct to the American people and by so doing he is extending the concept of direct democracy in America. The President has a habit of ditching Washington for events that void the beltway regulars. On Thursday, for example, the President may be sending a signal by going on the "Tonight Show" and then skipping Saturday night's Gridiron Club dinner.
The Gridiron Club dinner, an evening of music and comedy hosted by an exclusive Washington journalists' organization is a white-tie highlight of the capital's social season. But President Obama plans to spend the evening with his family, becoming the first president since Grover Cleveland not to show up for the first Gridiron dinner of his presidency.
