President Barack Obama sits down with the ladies of “The View” this morning at 11 a.m. on Channel 2.
Will you be watching?
The visit has already been taped, and details are under wraps. Not everyone is thrilled about the leader of the free world joining a daytime coffee klatch. None other than former View co-host Rosie O’Donnell criticized the decision.
“I have mixed feelings about that. I don’t really think sitting presidents should go do fluffy daytime TV shows,” she said in comments quoted on a number of Web sites. “Maybe an hour on ‘Oprah’ or something…I don’t really want to see him on ‘The View’.”
What do you think?
C-host Joy Behar told CNN that Obama was “charming as usual” and added “We had some laughs with him.”
Behar also has a show on CNN’s spinoff channel HLN.
Obama said he chose to appear in the program because First Lady Michelle Obama is a fan. He has appeared on the show before.
“Look, I was trying to find a show that Michelle actually watched, and so I thought this is it, right here,” he said, according to a snippet provided by ABC.

To Whitepower69,
Thanksfor being honest about what drives your disapproval of the President, blacks and hispanics. At least you’re not hiding behind mindless drivel that poses as actual critiques of Obama’s performance as president.
