IF a bunch of older women nattering on via your television screen sounds a tad self-indulgent, then an appearance by President Obama might catch your interest instead.

The President of the United States is set to make his first-ever daytime television appearance on July 29 while in office, joining the ladies of The View. He’s even managed to usher Barbara Walters, who is still recovering from heart valve replacement surgery, back into the studio for the day.

“We are so pleased and honoured that President Obama will be a guest on The View,” said Barbara. “The President last appeared on the program in March 2008 while he was still a senator, and First Lady Michelle Obama was a featured guest co-host in June 2008. This shows that both the President and First Lady feel that our show is an influential and important source of information and news.”

The interview is set to touch on topics such as the economy, the Gulf oil spill, jobs, and family life inside the White House.
