Who brought the heart-shaped potato that Obama saw while he was being interviewed?
Letterman covered a number of topics with Obama – many of them serious – including the war in Afghanistan. Obama also had his most irreverent answer yet oLater yesterday, Obama became the first sitting US president to appear on David Letterman’s “Late Show’’ couch. Letterman offered the top 10 reasons why the president had agreed to do it, including that Obama said yes without thinking about it, or as Letterman put it, “Like Bush did with Iraq.’’ But Obama had other ideas. It turns out he was listening when Letterman had bantered with a woman in the audience who brought a potato in the shape of a heart to the show. Obama told Letterman: “The main reason I’m here? I want to see that heart-shaped potato.’’ The woman tossed the potato to Letterman.
