The NY Times is reporting that President Obama will be making another appearance on “The View” this Thursday, on DISH Network Channel ABC. The appearance, which will be the third for the President but a first since his election, will be according to ABC, “the first time in history a sitting United States president has visited a daytime talk show.”

Obama has over the past year visited a slew of shows that have seemed unconventional in comparison to past presidents. From “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” to even ESPN during March Madness, the President has been making his rounds in hopes of reaching out to a wider audience.

However, where does the President draw the line? At what point does he become too entrenched in popular culture and cross the line from being a global leader to a global joke?

We have already seen the outcome of politicians who suddenly begin appearing in reality television (Rod Blagojevich anyone?). During the presidential campaign, everyone and their aunt were making their rounds on late night talk shows and SNL to try and one-up the other in making the American people laugh. Sarah Palin won that contest by a landslide, but that was during her appearance in the Vice Presidential debates.

But did this do them any good? Were people won over because their presidential candidate could deliver a punch-line? And more importantly, how do such actions reflect upon the world’s perspective of our politicians?

Whatever the case, we applaud Obama’s decision to break the 234-year-long ban of appearing on daytime talk shows. We just hope this doesn’t lead to his decision to appear on America’s Next Top Model. Although truth be told, he could probably pull off a cocktail dress.
