With Juan filling in, Bill phoned in from his vacation to comment on Obama's first performance on ABC's "The View" since his inauguration. (O'Reilly will be back on Monday.) The President talked with the View ladies about everything from the economy, Fox News, his IPod, Snooki, the oil spill and more. O'Reilly's overall reaction: "I think Obama did pretty well. He was relaxed. He knew what he wanted to say. He knew -- I don't think he knew the questions in advance, but he certainly knew it was a friendly audience except for Elisabeth Hasselbeck. And it was more like a campaign rally." The conventional wisdom was that the president went on the show to appeal to women but not surprisingly, O'Reilly saw things a little differently. Bill said, "Well, the women thing, yes, okay. But this is basically a chosen venue because there's no challenge to it. That's number one... Number two, if he goes on any program like that, it's going to get picked up on the Internet. So everybody's going to see it. And then, you know, cable news is going to pick it up and run with it. So it's not about being on "The View." Everybody gets to see and hear what he says. And so you select a venue that's friendly. He did that. He came off fine." Juan and Bill sparred over Obama's impact on jobs and the economy. Juan said, "I think most Americans right now don't think that what Obama is doing is leading to more jobs for the country." But Bill cautioned, "Well, it may be leading to more jobs, but it also might be leading to bankruptcy."

Bernie Goldberg was glued to the TV all morning watching and pondering the president's sit-down on "The View." As a broadcast professional, Bernie explained the motivation for Obama's appearance, saying, "Let me talk directly to the civilians, my civilian friends who are watching. This is how television works. Everybody uses everybody. 'The View' got what it needed. And Barack Obama got what he needed. 'The View' needed the president because of the ratings. I mean, it's a no-brainer. And Barack Obama got what he needed." On the political motivation, Bernie said, "He got to speak to a lot of women. Some of them presumably are Independents. The polls indicate he's lost women and he's lost Independents. He got to flash that million-dollar smile. They love that. He got to show how charming he was. They love that. And he got to talk about his wife and family. And they really, really love that." Bernie picked up on something comedian Joy Behar said and then explained what's really going on. Bernie said, "Joy Behar said something that I found very interesting and really important. Nobody's going to confuse her with a serious liberal thinker. But serious liberal thinkers to the extent that there is such a thing have the same position as she does. And that is that the right has hijacked as she put it the narrative. Well, here's a bulletin to all my liberal friends. The argument isn't between liberals, and conservative media, or conservatives, or FOX News or anything like that. The argument really is between liberals, Barack Obama and other liberals, and the American people. The right hasn't hijacked the narrative. The American people just don't like almost everything he's done."

The president got a pop culture quiz from the ladies. Whoopi asked him what's on his iPod and he responded, "I've got Jay-Z on there. I've got Frank Sinatra on there." (But Justin Bieber isn't on there for those who are wondering.) Joy Behar was curious to know if the commander-in-chief knew that Lindsay Lohan was in jail. He did. Always quick to take a cheap shot at Sarah Palin, Joy asked Obama, "Should Snooki run as mayor of Wasilla?" Obama didn't take the bait and said, "I got to admit I don't know who Snooki is." Juan then brought in both sides: liberal radio talk show host Mike Papantonio and conservative columnist and FOX News contributor Andrea Tantaros. Tantaros saw this situation this way: "My sense is that this does appear desperate because the White House is looking at numbers. They're seeing... women are slipping. Hispanics are slipping. Jews are slipping. His coalition, the coalition that elected him, is imploding... he went out today because the new FOX poll shows 46 percent of women now disprove. When he was elected, that was in the high 60's. So they're seeing signs of trouble. And as my mom always says, he's hoping the old Greek saying holds true. Men may be considering the head of the house, but women are the neck. And they can turn the head anyway that they want." Mike agreed, but also disagreed, with Andrea, saying, "Andrea gave every reason why he made the right decision here. Look, good politicians always need to dance with the people who brought them to the dance. You know who brought him last time? Women. 56 percent of the voters of women who voted for him for president... four million people watch "The View." You got demographics on that show that show 18 to 49-year-old women are watching the program. That's the first part. But the second part... is that age group, 18 to 49. That's his second most powerful block." Mike also made this interesting observation, "You go to your strength. His strengths is not Forbes magazine and the Economist. His strength are programs like 'The View.'"

There is unrest in Arizona after the Clinton appointee's ruling on the anti-immigration law. Dozens of people in Phoenix were arrested, hauled off in handcuffs as opponents of the state's tough new immigration law went ahead with planned protests today despite a judge's ruling that blocked key enforcement parts of the law. The SEIU, one of the nation's most powerful and influential unions released a video that compares the Arizona measure to the Berlin wall and Japanese internment. Juan spoke with Kris Kobach, a former Bush Justice Department official who co-authored the Arizona law and Susan Church, an immigration attorney. Juan asked Susan, "It looks like scare tactics to stir up a base in a political race but has very little to do with the reality. Am I off here, Susan?" Susan responded, "I think the reality here is what the Hispanic community is feeling as a result of these laws in Arizona that are clearly targeted just at them despite everyone's statements to the contrary... I think it's important for Americans to understand that when you pass laws the way -- like the ones that Arizona has passed that are clearly targeted at minority of people in the country that bad things happen." Kobach made his case on the law, saying, "The Arizona law says on its face four times it says this law shall not be enforced with consideration of a person's national origin. The Arizona law is race neutral, nationality neutral and clearly something that is fair and constitutional. By the way, the Justice Department didn't even bring a racial profiling against the Arizona law."

Very hot topics for the warriors: Obama on "TheView" and Chelsea Clinton's wedding. President Obama was asked why he went on the show-and he said, "I was trying to find a show that Michelle actually watched. So I thought that this is it right here. All those news shows she like let me get the clicker." Gretchen didn't like that answer and said, "My response is that, of course, Michelle Obama watches news shows. Are you kidding me? She is the first lady of the United States... To me, if he said news shows, this was a complete dig at the cable operations and probably specifically Fox News. He had to get the message out, I think, that she watches 'The View,' but she doesn't pay any attention to those people who might criticize Obama from time to time." Hoover defended POTUS, "You can't begrudge him for trying to get back the women who he's lost 20 percent in the last year. No, no problem there... I don't worry about the fact that it may not be presidential that he went on 'The View.' More power to him. Go for it." Then the conversation turned to Chelsea Clinton's wedding-some critics thought the multi-million dollar wedding was over the top in these tough economic times. But the warriors, as usual, showed grace and class. Hoover said, "I'm a bit sensitive to Chelsea in this because I just got married as well and no bride is really ever in charge of her wedding especially if she is the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton. These people are big personalities. They have flashy friends. This is going to be an over the top wedding and that's all there is too it. I don't judge. I wish her the best in her wedding." And Carlson defended the Clinton's as well, saying, "They made this money. Come on, we talk so much about free enterprise and wanting to herald the people in our society who have made it for themselves. Here's an example of two people who have made it for themselves. This is their only child. I don't give any rip how much they spend."

Rangel's scandal threatens to do serious damage to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desire to keep her party in control of the House of Representatives. Rangel is facing ethics charges involving financial shenanigans and improper fundraising, among other things. Juan spoke with A.B. Stoddard, an associate editor of "The Hill" newspaper. A.B. broke it down: "The Democrats are trying to make clear behind closed doors that Charlie Rangel has always been a loyal Democrat. He has never been a rogue member who has gone off and done his own thing. He has always been good to the party and he has always been a team player. It just looks right now that a deal for Charlie Rangel only exposes him to more legal liabilities. It would clearly help his party, but it just looks after what we have seen this week that he doesn't want to give his party a deal. The charges were read.. They are very serious. It looks like he's in violation of 13 different rules and regulations and laws. I think that he at this point is dug in and I think the party, you know, is holding out the hope that over a six-week of recess through August and early September they can build the pressure privately and through calls for his resignation for him to put a stop to that trial. At this point it looks like he is going ahead." Time will tell...

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine unveiled his party's plan to link Republicans to the Tea Party Movement apparently an effort to paint the GOP as extremists. On "Fox and Friends," Kaine said, "We are going to win races this November that I don't think we would have won had it not been for the Tea Party because they're chasing folks out of the Republican Party." Juan asked Democratic strategist Penny Lane if " this strategy really help the Democrats as the country gears up for the midterm election this November?" Penny said, "I think it's absolutely appropriate what Tim Kaine is doing and getting out there to show that the GOP and Tea Party are almost one in the same...And they have some extreme views, views that out of the mainstream and views that need to be exposed. So I applaud the DNC for doing this." Juan asked a great question, "You're saying by the extremist elements of the Tea Party, it's OK to define all Republicans. Does that mean it is okay to define all Democrats by the most left wing any socialists the Democratic Party?" Penny was a little defensive: "We didn't make a move on caucus. We didn't make a socialistic caucus. We didn't embrace some of the progressive sides and what we are saying is if you want to part of the Democratic party this is our platform."
