Mr Obama's appearance in July 2010 was the program’s most-watched episode ever, as he became the first ever sitting president to visit a daytime talk show. Mrs Obama most recently appeared on the show in August.
But GOP challenger Mitt Romney, who has been doing extensive damage control for his now-infamous leaked dinner party video, may not try to follow suit.

the show

appeared again earlier this year
He singled out Whoopi Goldberg, saying: ‘The last time I was on the show, she said to me, “You know what? I think I could vote for you.” I said I must have done something really wrong.’
After seeing the video footage, co-host Sherri Shepard retorted: ‘If you can’t handle four sharp-tongued women, how are you going to handle the country?’
Mr Romney appeared on the daytime talk show in 2010 to talk about his book, No Apology: The Case For American Greatness.
The View’s conservative, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, said Wednesday that she had reached out to Romney, and the campaign said he'd love to come on the show in October.
She said she’d love it if he ‘once more join the sharp-tongued chatter.’
Still, the ladies of The View are looking forward to hosting the first couple. Co-host Barbara Walters said in a statement: ‘We are honoured to host President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
Although each of them has appeared several times on the program, this first joint appearance marks a significant milestone.’

Meanwhile, Meredith Vieira spoke out against the Republican party hopeful, saying that in his closed door fundraiser remarks, Mr Romney ‘shows more insight in that moment than he has throughout the entire campaign.’
Speaking to Joy Behar, Vieira added that the co-hosts were indeed ‘tough,’ but also ‘fair-minded.’
Both candidates will appear Sunday in separate interviews on the CBS show 60 Minutes.
