The ladies of 'The View' strongly disagreed over Pres. Obama's performance to date, with Elisabeth Hasselbeck assuming a typical anti-Obama stance, and Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Barbara Walters speaking out in his defense.

Hasselbeck said Obama was "delusional" for giving himself a grade of B+ for his first 11 months in office while being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey during Sunday's 'Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special.'

Hasselbeck said Obama was "delusional" for giving himself a grade of B+ for his first 11 months in office while being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey during Sunday's 'Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special.'

"You know something, Elisabeth, last year we were in a very big financial problem in this country, and he has basically saved us from the brink of disaster," Behar retorted.

Hasselbeck isn't one to be silenced, however, and she pointed to skyrocketing unemployment rates as a sign that Obama's tenure has been less than successful -- but Walters argued that Obama inherited this problem from the preceding Commander-in-Chief.

Check out the clip for more back-and-forth on Obama, and for Goldberg's attempt to ground the discussion in some form of reality.
