Obama: 'What is a Snooki?'
President Obama charmed the ladies on "The View" yesterday and confidently showed off his command of the big challenges facing the nation today.
But the name Snooki didn't ring a bell.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who that is," the smiling but perplexed President said when asked about the big-haired "Jersey Shore" bombshell, according to several audience members interviewed after the show.
"We all liked that he didn't know who she was," said Nella Cerminara, 51, of Montreal.
Obama also revealed that he wasn't attending Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding, said audience member Bonnie Schneider, 37, of Shamong, N.J.
"Why would you want two presidents there?" Obama said, according to Schneider. The Secret Service would "have to unwrap all the gifts."
It was one of many light-hearted moments as Obama made history - and caught some flak - by becoming the first sitting President to appear on a daytime talk show. His interview airs today on ABC.
"He was a gentleman, very charming as usual," co-host Joy Behar said on CNN. "He seems at ease with whomever he is speaking to."
Obama also seemed unruffled by what Behar called a "pointed question" about jobs from Elisabeth Hasselbeck, an outspoken conservative who sparked outrage on Wednesday's show by suggesting that older women become lesbians because they can't land a man.
"The last 20 months has been a non-stop effort to restart the economy," the President said in a snippet aired by ABC.
Having Obama as a guest was reason enough for Barbara Walters to return to the show for the first time since May, when she revealed she needed heart surgery.
Before the show, Obama took heat from critics who said a daytime gabfest was not a fitting venue for a U.S. President.
After the taping, Obama hit two fundraisers in Manhattan for the Democratic National Committee, including one at the swanky home of Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
Obama began his day by visiting the Tastee Sub Shop in Edison, N.J., where he got a hero of a welcome.
Before starting his spiel, Obama ordered a six-inch version of the No. 5 - a salivating symphony of pressed ham, boiled ham, salami, capicola, prosciuttini and provolone - to go.
It went uneaten as Obama pitched a bill aimed at helping small businesses grow.
Adrienne Berg, who built Obama's sub, wasn't offended. "I told him it was an honor to make his sandwich."
Obama's brief stop in the Garden State was his first visit to Jersey since October, when he campaigned unsuccessfully for the reelection of former Gov. Jon Corzine.
Outside the sandwich shop, excited Obama supporters waving American flags said they were thrilled to see the President. "I saw him waving, it was great," said Lana Bridgman, 49, of nearby Clark. "My knees were shaking."
Obama's visit also attracted some angry Tea Party members, who said the president served up baloney at the submarine sandwich sitdown.
