Paying another visit to his friends at NBC studios, President Barack Obama sat down for his fourth appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - which is set to air tonight (October 25).
The Windy City native hit the stage earlier this morning to chat with Jay about topics such as the death of Gaddafi and his feelings on Republicans opposing withdrawal from Iraq.
Asked to share his thoughts on Gaddafi being killed, President Obama told, "Well, this is somebody who, for 40 years, has terrorized his country and supported terrorism. And he had an opportunity during the Arab spring to finally let loose of his grip on power and to peacefully transition into democracy. We gave him ample opportunity, and he wouldn't do it. And, obviously, you never like to see anybody come to the kind of end that he did, but I think it obviously sends a strong message around the world to dictators that people long to be free, and they need to respect the human rights and the universal aspirations of people."
During the course of the sitdown, Barack also offered up some laughs on lighter topics such as Halloween and the White House getting egged.
Shortly after his interview, Obama headed north to San Francisco for a fundraiser which includes a performance by well-known singer Jack Johnson.
