The Late Show with Barack Obama - doing Letterman's Top Ten Tonight

The Late Show with Barack



If elected, Barack Obama will name Oprah Winfrey his vice president and appoint Mitt Romney the “secretary of lookin’ good.”
The Democratic presidential candidate will announce those “campaign promises” and eight others in the familiar Top 10 segment of “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Thursday night.

Among the other one-liners on Mr. Obama’s list: “I will double your tax money at the craps table;” “I’ll rename the tenth month of the year ‘Barack-tober;’” and “I’ll pronounce the word nuclear, nuclear.”

Mr. Obama filmed the Top 10 list between campaign stops in South Carolina on Thursday. His appearance on the show comes two days before the Democratic primary in South Carolina.

Mr. Obama is the third presidential candidate to appear on “The Late Show” this month. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton welcomed Mr. Letterman back to television on Jan. 2 after a two-month strike-induced hiatus. Former Senator John Edwards visited Mr. Letterman in New York on Tuesday.

“The Late Show” is essentially the only late-night television show that the Democratic candidates can appear on, because all three candidates have pledged their support for the striking members of the Writers Guild of America who are actively picketing outside the studios of Jay Leno, Jon Stewart and other talk show hosts.

“You can’t muss my hair,” Mr. Obama told Mr. Letterman after reading the list, in a reference to the talk show host’s friendly teasing of Mr. Edwards’ hair earlier in the week.

Mr. Obama’s Top 10 list of campaign promises will be featured on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Thursday night. (CBS)
