President Obama made television history last night by becoming the first sitting president to slow jam the news with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on NBC’s “Late Night.”



“I’m President Barack Obama, and I, too, would like to Slow Jam the News,” said the president before Fallon’s band, The Roots, saluted him with a sampling of “Hail to the Chief.”



Obama and Fallon slow jammed the president’s efforts to stop Congress from allowing interest rates on government-subsidized student loans from doubling.
