Jersey What? On ‘The View,’ President Obama Says He Has No Idea Who Snooki Is — Even Though He’d Used her as Punchline Before

Jul 29, 2010  •  Post A Comment

According to several audience members at Wednesday’s taping of ABC’s "The View," President Barack Obama drew a blank when asked about Snooki, the poof-haired cast member of MTV’s "Jersey Shore," reports the New York Daily News.

"I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is," Obama said when he was asked about her.

Still, he’d used her as a punchline for a joke at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in May, the story says. His joke: "This next provision is called the Jersey Shore-Up. It reads: The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill – Snooki, J-WOWW, the Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner." (Guess his joke-writers know who Snooki is, of course.)

Obama also said on the show that he wasn’t attending Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, joking that having two presidents there would cause the Secret Service to "unwrap all the gifts." The interview will be broadcast on Thursday.

  1. Who? Haven’t watched MTV since 1984.

  2. Actually, the president WAS NOT INVITED to the wedding.

  3. My Christian teachings inform me Jesus needs us to turn the other cheek. Thank God we’re a country that detaches the church and state; its about time we as People in the usa just notify Ahmadinejad to go to hell. As far as the UN, I would favour my tax cash sent on The Bridge to No Where. As a minimum we might have something to show for it.

  4. My Christian theories inform me Jesus needs us to show another cheek. Thankfully we’ve been a nation that separates the church and state; it’s high time we as People in the usa just inform Ahmadinejad to go to hell. For the UN, I’d favour my tax dollars sent on The Bridge to No Where. At least we’d have something to show for it.

  5. You offer a good quality of safe tanning safe tanning
