President Obama Stumbles Through "The View's" Pop Culture Quiz, Talks Clinton Wedding




(Undated) -- President Obama isn't entirely up on his pop culture. In his Thursday appearance on ABC's "The View," the President admitted that he doesn't use his Twitter account. When asked by Joy Behar if he thinks Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of MTV's "Jersey Shore" should be the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, he said he doesn't know who she is. But President Obama did score some points for knowing that actress Lindsay Lohan is currently incarcerated. He was also excited to share what kind of music he keeps on his iPod.

President Obama may not be a fan of 16-year-old Canadian Justin Bieber, but adds that the pop sensation is someone he has met and is "a very nice young man." Since it's tough enough having one president at a wedding, Obama says he won't be attending Chelsea Clinton's ceremony. He added that he wasn't invited anyway and thinks that it's fair he didn't get an invitation. President Obama says, quote, "I think that Hillary and Bill properly want to keep this as a thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be-husband." He added jokingly that the "View" hosts wouldn't be invited to his daughters' weddings someday. The President also answered serious questions on Thursday about current issues facing his administration.
