President Barack Obama appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to spread his spin on the economy and other matters in an entertainment-heavy venue. He also used his trip to the West Coast, where the show is taped, to dine with some of the Hollywood folk who helped him get elected twice.
After the pre-taped interview, the President will be having a private dinner with Hollywood supporters while in town, sources say.
The event was private, Deadline.com reports, and it did not appear on the official White House schedule.
