Sorry about the political asides as of late, but Obama-mania is everywhere and the man can - and does - talk to anyone.

If you read us when we talk about pointless crap like celebrity sex tapes, does our opinion become moot when a media-savvy president encroaches on pop culture?

For instance, could you imagine George W Bush on The View? A few things would happen: stuttering, Elisabeth Hasselback would be fawning and giving him an easy time while Whoopi would stick it to him.

It’s a good sign that Whoopi has almost nothing to say while she’s staring starry-eyed at a man who is running for president who is capable of speaking about what he believes in.

Parts 2, 3 and 4 are below the cut, should you be interested.
