BAM & BABS FUEL VIEW

You know a President is in trouble when he agrees for a sit down on a TV chat show in the morning with BARBARA WALTERS.

'The feisty View cohost on the med from recent heart surgery will be sitting down (along with her cohosts) with President Obama Thursday morning.

Producer Bill Geddie announced that the Obama's appearance, will touch on inflammatory topics including unemployment, the economy, the Gulf oil spill and family life inside the White House.

Walters will make a special return to the studio for the occasion, joining co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd.

It's the first EVER visit from a US President still in office to a daytime talk show.

And that includes long-time Bam pal OPRAH who is no doubt miffed!
