The View Takes on Obama’s ‘Cocky’ State of the Union Attitude

Like everyone else who watched last night’s State of the Union address last night, the hosts of The View zeroed in on the one unscripted moment in which President Barack Obama told Congress he as “no more campaigns to run” adding, “I know, because I won both of them.”

“He did a little bit of trash talking, which is always the best part of the State of the Union,” Nicolle Wallace said before playing the clip. “It’s very scripted, rehearsed, and they write the speech weeks in advance. There was an off-the-cuff part that, no matter your party, was pretty priceless.”

Comedian Jen Kirkman, sitting in for Rosie Perez, said that friends of hers said of the president’s attitude, “’He was so fresh. He was so snarky, and he was so cocky,’”

“And then I see that, and he was perfectly friendly about it,” she said. “It was just a little nudge. But I feel like still because he’s a black guy, we have to say, he was a little cocky.”

“Yeah,” Whoopi Goldberg agreed.
