Barack Obama, television appearances, updated

Recently, the president said that he hates Photo-ops. This, from the man who had a giant image of himself hanging in his campaign headquarters in 2008.

 I've previously referred to the president as a celebredent, and said that he'll make a great game show host someday. But let's take this challenge. How many times has the president deliberately put himself into the limelight?

Luckily, IMDB helps us track that.
I tried to eliminate any appearances where the president is simply in a clip or a documentary about him.
