‘Is Obama Too Cool?’

The View co-hosts got a little heated this morning over a new political ad accusing President Obama of, of all things, being “too cool.” They played the ad, which leans heavily on the exploding problem of student loan debt, in all of its auto-tuned glory for the studio audience. Elisabeth Hasselbeck thought that the while “point of [the ad] is there, the delivery is off,” and she and Whoopi Goldberg agreed that the music could have been better.

That was about the only thing that they agreed on, though, with Whoopi vehemently disagreeing that crippling student loan debt was Obama’s fault, and reading a list of the President’s accomplishments in office. The audience was on her side too, breaking into applause when she characterized the student loan crisis as something that “clearly doesn’t have anything to do with him.”
Sherri Shepherd suggested that perhaps other politicians, like, say, Mitt Romney, who are constantly accused of being boring, might be jealous of Obama’s charm. Elisabeth took this opportunity to launch into a very complicated metaphor about somebody coming over to fix a broken dishwasher, but Barbara Walters cut her off unceremoniously to go to commercial. Ouch!
