It was all for the purposes of humor.

The first battle has him slapping both, so you expect it again. By subverting that expectation, you get a new twist on the idea that makes it funnier than had he just hit them both. And for good measure he still gives her the stink eye and even makes her flinch.

Also, saying Obama's later verses were bad is subjective, so can't really be taken into account.
