President confirms John McCain bromance to Jay Leno, isn't sure what Snowden did

@SooperMexican @jeffmason1 Does Obama have a bromance with Sen. John McCain. Asked no one. Ever.

Until his interview airs tonight, we won’t know for sure just which of the questions suggested via the #LenoAskObama hashtag will pop up on “The Tonight Show,” but a pool report suggests the president did field a wide range of slow-pitch softballs.

Despite terror warnings, Americans are free to travel abroad. You’re more likely to die in a car wreck right here at home, so why not?

Pool; POTUS said people can still take vacation, just do so in a “prudent way” by checking on the State Department Websites

Pool: Obama: The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately."

The president assured host Jay Leno that the United States doesn’t have a domestic spying program, and he’s not sure exactly what NSA leaker Edward Snowden was up to. You know President Obama: he gets his information from the news just like everyone else.

It's not domestic spying, it's just a computer with a record of every phone call in America in it.

@RichardGrenell Shame Snowden isn't a Tea Party member, Obama could have just asked the IRS for is file .
