Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R) criticized President Obama's appearance on The View Thursday via Twitter, challenging him to visit the US-Mexican border. 

Some critics have panned Obama's recent trips -- to Maine with the First Family, and to New York, for the 'View' taping and two fundraisers -- saying that distressed areas like the border and the Gulf Coast require more attention.

Palin tweeted:

President w/no time to visit porous US/Mexican border to offer help to those risking life to secure us,but lotso' time to chat on The View?

I'm headed to border in near future... let's see how quickly his travel schedule will allow that border visit after all! .
