Barack Obama is going to be on The View on Thursday, because he is not too popular now, and he was popular in 2008 when he was on that show last, so certainly viewers who don’t have jobs and commercials for cleaning products are the magic he needs to get back that ’08 touch. According to Barbara Walters, THIS IS HISTORY, as no sitting president has wasted his time on daytime television before.
President Obama will then go and win $11,600 on Plinko on The Price Is Right, kill Lisa Grimaldi on As the World Turns, and navigate the legal process of suing Arizona for its discriminatory anti-illegal-immigration law on Dora the Explorer.
Barbara Walters, creator/executive producer and co-host of The View will — in honor of this rare occasion — make an exclusive in-studio appearance to mark this historic hour. Ms. Walters underwent heart valve replacement surgery in May. Earlier this month she chatted about her recovery with pals Whoopi, Joy, Elisabeth and Sherri live via Skype®. It was her first nationally televised appearance since undergoing surgery.
Cool! That is even more important! Thanks, press release!
“We are so pleased and honored that President Obama will be a guest on The View. The President last appeared on the program in March 2008 while he was still a Senator — and First Lady Michelle Obama was a featured guest co-host in June 2008. This shows that both the President and First Lady feel that our show is an influential and important source of information and news.”
Yes, Barbara, President Obama sees that quarterback’s wife’s Teabagger ramblings as an important source of news.
And of course, Ms. Important News Source, this is how you end a press release:
What would you like to see the President discuss with the co-hosts?
WELL, Wonketters?!?!?! What would you like to see him move his mouth about?!?!?! [The View]

He needs to go on a 45-minute rant about his complete and unabashed love for the movie Eddie.
It’ll be all about their “cycles” and his “package”.
About time the Barry tried fixing that leaking hole.
Barry must have that “not-so-fresh feeling.”
He should ask Sherri how she manages to be funny in her 30 Rock appearances while being an annoying complete idiot who’s not even sure of the shape of the earth as herself.
Meanwhile, the Palins will be countering him with a Springer appearance.
Maybe he can ask Whoopi if Mel Gibson’s a racist?
Obama wanted to go on Wendy Williams show, but his wife Michelle forbade it. That Wendy sure is one fine looking woman.
The usual: cysts, finding a dress for your non-standard figure, how to bring the romance back into your relationship with ISI…
It’s another Big Government Power Grab by the Obama administration — I mean, the guy already controls 65% of the economy, and now he wants daytime television? He created a captive audience by destroying everyone’s job and now he’s making them watch him on TV — watch out for subtle mind-control tricks, unemployed ladies!
Oh, and he should address why he’s keeping noble minorities such as Snooki down with his horribly burdensome Ultraviolet Ray Tax.
I hope Hasslebeck gets the swine flue and cant go on air that day.. gad, that woman is annoying. Maybe Obama will swat her like a fly, then I would be so happy.
I want to know about Barry’s collection of used Barbara Walters’ Q-Tips.
Is Black the new black? Has he stopped drinking tea to protest the teabaggers? Will he really appear on RHOC and get all friendy with Vicki? Will he give the Duggars birth control counseling?
I’d call in sick to watch Obama kill Lisa Grimaldi on As the World Turns.
What about MY demographic, dammit? When is the president going to be spliced into reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation? (preferably in Dr. Crusher’s place – Gates McFadden canNOT act)
I’ll watch if they promise to discuss the merits of the new game Alien Swarm.
However, I suspect this will be a pre-recorded speech, or at best a videoconference. (At worst, they will just set a life-size cardboard Obama next to them.) Therefore we are all wasting our time answering this question.
Andrew Sullivan is trying to get Sarah Palin to do a DNA maternity test on ‘Maury’.
[re=625853]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Andrew Sullivan can see The View from your window.
They should ask to see his birth certificate
Is the first time a president has ever shared the same room with a former Survivor contestant?
Ah, I can comment. I think work is on to me. When will Obama drop in on All My Children? Maybe Rahm could too. He could sub for Susan Lucci.
[re=625818]SayItWithWookies[/re]: At this rate, how long until NBC dumps Leno in favor of Obama?
Wait, a criticism of the acting on Start Trek TNG and it’s directed at Gates McFadden, not Miranda Sirtis? The MILF redhead doctor was a good actress; the woman who told the Captain she sensed anger from the alien threatening to blow up the Enterprise, not so much.
[re=625862]Extemporanus[/re]: I wondered who that bear fapping outside in the bushes was.
I want to know what brand of self-tanning spray he uses.
I think Gates did a great job. She seems natural. I vote for Gates. Gates/Stewart 2012!!
Needs moar Presidential blingee.
Let’s see, another anti-Obama article and HEY…guess what it’s that asshole Jack Steuf who wrote it once again. WHAT A SURPRISE. Hey Jack, has Briebart called you up offering you that dream job yet?
The real question is, will he wear a polo shirt? Or a button down? Tie or no tie? Fancy pants?
Once Hasselbeck sees a real man in front of her, she will think of nothing but his penis and will be unable to ask any questions.
[re=625906]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Oh, that would really piss Conan off.
Grecian Formula, or Just For Men?
If he jumps up and down on the sofa declaring his exuberant, uncontrolled love for Katie Holmes, I, for one, will be impressed.
[re=625929]jus_wonderin[/re]: I’ve been making my way through Star Trek TNG dvds with my wife and kids, and I’m always a bit surprised by how clunky most of the acting is. (The first season was almost unbearable.) The guys who play Worf and Data get a free pass because of the built-in alien-ness of their characters, but the guy who plays Riker is the only human who seems to act like a human. I blame the scriptwriters, partly. They seem intent on maintaining the tone of the original too much.

I’m not much for that “dignity of the office” blarney, but then again, I’ve been known to piss, shit and vomit myself simultaneously. They called it “the hat trick.”
[re=625918]JMP[/re]: Ha, Miranda!
[re=626065]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: They picked the only guy who could act to play the machine. It was all done just for the irony.
Ah didn’t want no soshulust addressin’ my kids in school an’ I sure as hell don’t want him tellin’ me how to keep my girlish figure.
I just want hopey to slap Elisabeth and say, “AND THAT’S FOR EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR CUNT MOUTH”
