    "President Obama's appearance gave The Tonight Show its largest audience in years. NBC programming head Ben Silverman said it was 'awesome.'"

    Much as I despise Charlie Rangel I don't have any issue with him going Acela first class. It's like $100 for the upgrade - not like a $10000 first class plane ticket.
