Although President Obama is receiving rave reviews for his tongue-in-cheek appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, not everyone is singing his praises. Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson implied that Obama wasn’t being dignified enough on the comedy show and suggested former presidents wouldn’t approve. The Huffington Post reports:

Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson came down on President Obama’s recent appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday.

Obama appeared on the late night show on Tuesday night. He spoke about his student loans, Mitt Romney and the Secret Service scandal, and arrived to “slow-jam the news” with Fallon.

Carlson was dismayed after watching Fallon call Obama the “Preezy of the United Steezy.”

“Right now,” she began, “a bunch of former presidents are, like, ‘Huh? That’s what we do now when we’re president of the United States?’”
