President Obama did a lightning round of pop culture questions during his Thursday appearance on ABC's "The View." The president revealed that he was not invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, that he knows actress Lindsay Lohan is in jail, and that boys have not entered the picture yet for his two pre-teen daughters.
The questions came from co-host Joy Behar.
Behar: "Do you know Lindsay Lohan's in jail?"
Obama: "Yes, I actually know that, I'm not sure why..."
Behar: "Should [The Jersey Shore's] Snooki run as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska?"
Obama: "I don't know who that is..." (The president might recall that he got laughs at May's White House Correspondents' Association dinner with a Snooki joke. Oops.)
Behar: "Do you think [actor] Mel Gibson needs anger management?
Obama: "I haven't seen a Mel Gibson movie in a while...."
Behar: "Do you Tweet?"
Obama: "I don't Tweet, although there's a presidential Tweet [sic] ... some 20-year-old does most of the tweeting."
After fighting to keep his Blackberry after he entered office, Obama admitted that only 10 people have his blackberry email address, and that "It's not that much fun, because everyone assumes the messages are going into the presidential record, so they don't send you the juicy stuff."
On the topic of his iPod, Obama said to the hosts, "You name a song and I've got it," before being forced to admit that he does not, in fact, have teenaged sensation Justin Bieber, who played the White House this spring.
Asked about Chelsea Clinton's upcoming A-List wedding this weekend, Obama told the hosts he had not been invited, "Because I think Bill and Hillary [Clinton] want to keep this about Chelsea, and I know [the Clintons] who are terrific parents, and they made it all about Chelsea, and that's something Michelle and I want to do."
Lastly, to the question of whether "boys have entered the picture" with his pre-teen daughters, Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9, the president sat up authoritatively. "No they have not."
