Just two days after being told by his doctors to cut down on his cholesterol, President Obama visited a restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, where he ate a meal which included fried chicken, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, cream corn, biscuits, corn bread, barbecue pork, and blueberry pudding. That's why he's in favor of healthcare. He's going to need it.

From "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," February 5, 2010:    

On the "Today" show this morning, Michelle Obama said she likes having her mother live at the White House because she helps take care of Sasha and Malia. And Barack Obama said he likes having his mother-in-law living at the White House because he has to say that. 

From "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," December 18, 2009:

From "Jimmy Kimmel Live," December 17, 2009:   
It's hard to believe there's only two weeks left in 2009. President Obama is already said to be hard at work on his New Year's resolutions. His plan for 2010 is to do all the things he said he was going to do this year. 

From "The Jay Leno Show," December 3, 2009:   
I'm trying to sum up President Obama's first eleven months in office. He gave billions to Wall Street, cracked down on illegal immigrants getting health care, and he's sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. You know something? He may go down in history as our greatest Republican president ever. 

From "The Jay Leno Show," November 12, 2009:   
President Obama's approval rating is down to 46 percent. That means 54 percent of the people do not approve of the job he's doing, which I think is totally unfair. We should at least wait until he actually does something. 

From "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien," October 15, 2009:  
One of the top-selling costumes this Halloween is a vampire version of President Obama called Barackula. Not so popular: Congressman Barney Frankenstein.

From "The Jay Leno Show," October 8, 2009:  
The big question now, with the troops in Afghanistan, is how soon can we expect a decision from President Obama on this troop thing? We've been waiting, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Remember, it took him five months to decide on a puppy. 

From "The Jay Leno Show," October 8, 2009: 
Here is an example of how quickly things can turn around. According to a recent poll, President Obama's approval rating in California has dropped. In fact, among Hollywood celebrities, it is now down to just 99 percent.

The Obamas are taking a vacation on Martha's Vineyard. ... And people on Martha's Vineyard are going crazy and they're buying Obama t-shirts, they're buying Obama mugs, they're buying Obama caps. The only thing they're not buying is Obama' s health-care plan. 

From "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," August 5, 2009: 
I want to say happy birthday today to Barack Obama. The president just turned 48 years old — if he was ever really born, that is. ...

As you probably know, due to a lack of health care coverage, Obama's mother was turned away from a number of hospitals and was ultimately forced to give birth in a manger. 
From "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien," July 31, 2009:   Conservatives are criticizing Time magazine because they put President Obama on the cover for the 12th time in the last year. Not only that — every week since Obama was elected, he's been on the cover of Black President Magazine.

From "The Late Show with David Letterman,"  June 24, 2009:

From "The Late Show with David Letterman," June 22, 2009: 
President Barack Obama’s approval rating of 61%, which I thought was staggeringly high, has now dropped to 56%. So don’t kid yourselves. Hillary could still win this thing. 
From "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," April 2, 2009:

It's an exciting time in Washington, Barack Obama is putting his team together to take over the Administration.

And Joe Biden said, "Yeah ...."
