Nope, it’s not Michelle. Unfortunately, it’s actually President Barack Obama who will be making an appearance on The View. Michelle Obama would be plenty acceptable to interview and she actually could even be offered a permanent spot by the time the episode wraps. Anyway, Barack Obama will be the first current president to appear on the daytime talk show and will be recording a pre-taped interview with the five completely irrational women on Wednesday.

The hogwash interview will include topics such as his celebrity sponsors administration’s accomplishments, magazine/tabloid covers jobs, most powerful celebrity couples the economy, James Cameron’s advice the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and of course his friendship with Oprah family life in the White House. Because that’s what is most  important. It’s not important that he’s the President of the United States and likely has other things on his check list to be working on instead of flying Air Force One to New York City and wasting our time and his on a daytime talk show that nobody watches anyhow. It’s a beautiful thing.

You can be sure the ladies of The View are all ecstatic about the presidential visit with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The show is usually focused around tabloid headlines and celebrity promotional interviews. Like the time Obama went on the show in 2004 to promote his book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” What did he inherit? A green card … citizenship? Interesting.

The democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, expressed his opinion that The View may not be an appropriate forum for the sitting president of the United States. “I think the president should be accessible, should answer questions that are pre-screened, but I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency.” Well, that all went out the window ages ago on late night television. So Randell suggests, “If I was advising President Obama, I’d say do as much ad hoc as you can do,” adding, “He doesn’t have to be scripted, he doesn’t have to be telepromptered.” And he may as well throw back a beer bong while he’s off the clock.


Does anyone else find it incredibly annoying how the world and the media have transformed the president into a baseball statistic? Every time President Obama pops up somewhere he’s making some historical record. For example, “Today, the President will make history on The View.” Next time Obama’s going to wear a purple shirt instead of a white shirt and the headline will be “Today, the President will make history on The View. He’s never worn a purple shirt on The View ever before.” Spare me.


The White House spokesman Robert Gibbs explained, “Look, I think it is another opportunity for the president to talk to people where they are. We made a decision to put the president on Jay Leno, David Letterman, The View, because that’s where — people have busy lives and it’s best to go where they are. And I think that’s what the president will do tomorrow.” Or, maybe he’ll do a standup comedy act about his dwindling approval ratings? Because that’s a winner EVERY time. Will somebody watch this and let us know what happens … apparently unlike our president, we have work to do.

Is This Obama?

Looks like Barack Obama or a good lookalike made a cameo in the hit 1993 single “Whoop (There It Is).”

What do you think? The only thing he’s missing is his mole?! Could be hiding under make up, or those large sunglasses.

After being thrust into the limelight with her husband President Barack Obama’s inauguration, First Lady Michelle Obama chats about what she misses most from her private life and what it’s like being a “mom-in-chief.”

“The little nothings in life that we don’t do anymore: Running an errand,” she tells Good Housekeeping magazine about what she misses most from leaving behind a normal life. “Walking into your kid’s school without causing a fuss. Going out to dinner without a press pool.”
She discloses to the publication that her daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama, aren’t too thrilled with all the attention. “Our girls are pretty modest types, and they don’t like the attention, the hoopla. They will say things like, ‘Ugh, Dad, do you have to drive around with the sirens in the car? Do you have to block up all the traffic?’”

So how does Mrs. Obama juggle her duties of First Lady and mom? She says of raising her girls, “It’s just that the constant worry still exists when you’re a mom that the decisions you make in your life are negatively impacting your kids. I want to make sure that the girls are doing well, and that they feel like they have the love and attention they deserve from their parents, regardless of what positions we hold.”

“I think that Tiger has acknowledged that he betrayed his family, and that’s a personal issue that he’s got to work out,” Mr. Obama told FOX News. “I hope they’ve worked it out, and I’m sure he’s going to still be a terrific golfer.”

As predicted, Woods will be competing in the Masters Tournament this April, according to the pro golfer’s Web site. For the sake of his family and well-wishers, he needs to get it all together, and fast!

First Lady Michelle Obama didn’t shy away from questions about her commander-in-chief husband on Friday night’s “Jay Leno Show.”

Asked by Leno what she thinks President Barack Obama’s most annoying habit is, Mrs. Obama joked, “We don’t have enough time,” before continuing, “He has no annoying habits … he’s perfect.”

Then, after reconsidering the question, she said, “When he beats me at tennis, that gets to be pretty annoying, and he beats me quite often.”

The first lady also disclosed who’s on her iPod playlist, naming musicians such as Stevie Wonder, Sting, Robin Thicke and Mary J. Blige.
