fallon and the daily show. and on the web pushing health care on between two ferns and buzzfeed video. he s been criticized for these appearances, but the country s changing. do you thing this ed mek this 3450ed ya strategy has been effective. i always enjoy the president on these types of shows. last night s appearance on jimmy kimmel went from talking about ferguson, a really good message. then he was able to do the segment of the mean tweets which is one of my favorite segments on that show. i have to say that was the best one i ve actually seen done because he has this dead pan when he reads it then he gets this look on his face and he starts laughing. i was laughing hysterically. it makes him human, makes him real. helps you relate to hill. i have to agree with abby. the president when he did the three youtubers, glozell and the other two, that s the first time that happened at the white house. he s taking technology this media, if you will to a
