This morning, ABC aired an episode of ‘The View’ featuring Barack Obama. Despite the fact that the show was a rerun from this past spring, for dedicated Obamaphiles, it was as fresh and glorious as it was the first time around. Clearly, the ladies of ‘The View’ just can’t get enough of Barack the Magnificent, and they’re not alone. Hope you’ve got your drool buckets handy …

On an old The View, President Obama touched Barbara Walters on her hand. If he ever touched me, I would just PASS OUT! 🙂 #Obama2012 <3

Oh, our ovaries! Excuse us while we swoon!
The view was on and watching Obama… I love our President because he is himself and don't try to be who they want him to be…
— Bruce Wayne (@ImjustPoole) August 13, 2012
“Who they want him to be”? Like, say, competent? Focused?

He must always be nervous, then.
Why is Obama on the view
— morg (@morgconstantino) August 13, 2012
Why indeed? It’s not as if he’s got more pressing issues.
Obama's on the View? 24 million people out of work .Glad our president has Americas priorities in check. #Fail

Exactly RT @Pasquale_Gee_: how does barack obama have the time to be on the view
— Chillbert Arenas (@CPfromGV) August 13, 2012
It’s easy to make time for “The View” when you’re forgoing your responsibilities and concentrating on being everyone’s bucket list.
Not everyone was impressed by the smooth operator in chief:
Obama on the view/ Even George W. wouldn't stoop that low #who I'm forced to vote for
— Drexl Spivey (@Windexman34) August 13, 2012
President Obama, with all due respect, why are you on The View? Talk shows are for movie stars, please return to running our country #thanks
— Kristin (@xKWilliams) August 13, 2012
I can not stand Obama on the View, he is so plastic!

The fact that President Obama is debasing himself on the view right now is making me want to vote for him a little less ?
— devil's avocado (@_pizzawitch) August 13, 2012
Obama get the fuck off the view and go do something….
— Colin Witt (@TheColinWitt) August 13, 2012
America's economy is in the shitter, and Obama goes on the View? Some one give him a tampon.

Go with your gut, Shelby.
President Obama’s “View” appearance wasn’t a total bust, though. He did manage to put forth one illuminating little nugget:
Obama grades his performance as an "incomplete" on The View. Did he really just say that?
— Justin Hart (@justin_hart) August 13, 2012
Incomplete? That’s worse than a B+, no? It’s refreshing to hear the president say something honest for a change. Too bad his honesty bodes ill for the rest of us. If he believes his performance is indeed incomplete, what other disastrous tricks does he have up his sleeve before he jumps into his Volt and rides off into the sunset?
