President Obama has a busy Tuesday in NYC. He first stopped by 'The Late Show' where he got the whole hour to talk with David Letterman. The two of course talked about his lovely wife Michelle Obama, and more serious topics like the current situation in Libya.

Dave couldn't help but bring up is opponent Mittens Romney and the absolutely stupid comments he made at a recent fundraiser where he referred to the 47%, the number that Obama has in most polls against him, as "victims" and that he doesn't need to worry about them. The President commented

"One of the things I learned as president is you represent the entire country. If you want to be president, you have to work for everyone."

Obviously something that Mittens doesn't understand about the job that he's applying for. President Obama added,

"There are not a lot of people out there who think they're victims. There are not a lot of people who think they're entitled to something...We've got some obligations to each other, and there's nothing wrong with us giving each other a helping hand so that that single mom's kid, after all the work she's done, can afford to go to college."

Later, he spoke at a fundraiser at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in Manhattan where he said that he and Mr. Carter have a lot in common.

"Jay knows what my life is like," he said. "We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are." 

About 100 people were attendance for the $40,o00 a ticket party where Beyonce said that they were "proud" to be hosting the event for President Obama.

Oh, to be a fly on that wall.
