President Obama charmed the ladies on “The View” today and confidently showed off his command of the big challenges facing the nation today.

But the name Snooki didn’t ring a bell.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is,” the smiling but perplexed President said when asked about the big-haired “Jersey Shore” bombshell, according to several audience members interviewed after the show.

Obama also revealed that he wasn’t attending Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming wedding, said audience member Bonnie Schneider, 37, of Shamong, N.J.

“Why would you want two presidents there? The Secret Service would ‘have to unwrap all the gifts.’”

It was one of many light-hearted moments as Obama made history - and caught some flak - by becoming the first sitting President to appear on a daytime talk show. His interview airs tomorrow (7/29) on ABC.

Owned by the President… priceless.

UPDATE (Video): He knows Lindsay is in jail… ha, ha, ha ha!!
