Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View is often described as annoying, infuriating, unbearable. She can now add Conan O’Brien to the long list of people who find her such a terrible bore.

The other day, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by on The View for a brief interview.

As Conan puts it in the video below, viewers were most definitely expecting some softball questions for the President, but not an interrogatory from the Conservative Hasselbeck.

She was way out of line, Coco believes.

“Who the hell’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck?! She won a reality show — she didn’t even win! She was like… fifth!” O’Brien said, before mocking Elisebeth’s high-pitched voice, “Hey, leader of the free world! Answer this!”

What seems crazy to me is that when Obama is asked a question about his failures the media blasts whoever wants to know the answer. I like Conan, but seriously...WTF...its okay to bash one President but not another. Please...

She totally blew this clown away. She asked him a very direct simple question backed up with the HARD FACTS about how people are worse off because of his policies.

He couldn't even attempt an answer.

She just hit a grand slam home run and made him look like the vacuous idiot that he is.

You're calling Obama an idiot? What kind of education do you have?

The View needs to replace her. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is very disrepectful to the President and 1st Lady every chance she gets. Her castmates are Democrats it is clear, they never slam the Republicans in the way she does our President. She is a horrible host and racist as they come., and Sherri Shepherd you are her token black foe friend, Barbara get a intelligent conservative on the show, someone that does not always have to spew their own agenda.

She's a talk show hostess, not a reporter or a journalist to ask a question like that to any president.
