What's 'The View'?

Its a women talk show.

more free air time. if someone added up all the free air time this guy's gotten, it'd be equivalent to many millions of dollars.

BHO is white and black, on Monday says he's Irish. What now? He's a woman.

Wonderful, the View is a very nice show managed by very progressive and intellignet women. Sharing the air time with the next President of the United States of America is just wonderful.

And I suppose Hillary paid for her time on Saturday Night Live?

Give us a break!

BKMC and Jackt51, I wish I had your optimism

LA in Indiana, it is easy the math of pledge delegates is on Obama's side. So this is not about optimism or pessimism but reality check, mathematics have no feelings.

Neither Sen. Clinton Obama can reach the magic number 2025. The superdelegates are there for a reason.

DCVoter, it does not matter, the show is an opportunity to demonstrate that Obama can talk to his supporters and to Hillary supporters, as I told you there is tomorrow after the elections and the 3 ladies who are supporting Hillary will end up supporting Obama as the nominee of the democratic party and help him win against McCain. That is why it is an honor and a privilege to be with the ladies and discuss serious issues, listen to them and get some ideas from the, rather than the DCVoter.

aaahhh ye ole pledged delegates

But we have now crossed the threshold of electability. We already know Pennsylvania won't vote for him. Neither will Indiana and North Carolina. White America is not as forgiving as Black America, and this will keep him from moving forward.
We all know the republicans will hang Wright around Obama's neck like kryptonite.

Knowing this country's mood for centuries, the light at the end of the tunnel is more cynicism than optimism.
But I will continue to pray for Barack.

This election is a joke, so many issues and here we have main headline Obama will be on "the view".

The man is a compulsive liar, he seems to have a hidden agenda that he cloaks in words and speeches, he is lacking in experience, and most of all dividing this country because if he does not get the nomination it will be divided more than ever.

Yet the media has turned a blind eye to all this and reporting as if its a daily soap opera, while gas is going up, people are losing their homes, the war is still going on but Obama is going on the view is a hot topic.

Barbara has defended him as 'a good man.' Whoopi has more flip flopping than John McCain. Joy is for Hillary. Elisabeth is for McCain, so you know she owns a lot of flip-flops.

Hillary can win in two ways;

1) Win more than 65% of the delegates from the last ten contests. Something she has not even been closed to doing yet.

2) Superdelegates and if they give her the nod, polls indicate that 20% of the party will either vote otherwise or stay home. This does not take into account all hte new democrats that Obama has brought to the party who will certainly shun her.

Talk about unelectable.

Friday's show is usually on tape. Will this be live on the 28th, or taped on Wednesday 26th?

"No one should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political persecution, arrest, abuse or torture. I believe that now, on the eve of a new millennium, it is time to break the silence. It is time for us to say, here in Beijing, and for the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights." (Clinton said this in 1995)

Lissa Muscatine was Hillary Clinton's speechwriter in the 1990s. Muscatine wrote that speech, and she says it galvanized attention for women around the globe.

"I can tell you from going around the world with her that for years after that everywhere we went, people — women — would run up to her with copies of the speech, clutching it," Muscatine said. "It was as if it empowered a lot of women and gave voice to their aspirations."

A few weeks ago, Senator Clinton was on the road to a concession speech in August.

Fortunately for her, David Axelrod is in charge of the Obama campaign and keeps giving her new life... a little byte at a time. And Axelrod used to work for the Clintons...

At any rate, the Obama appearance on "The View" is an attempt to show genuine concern for gender bias when there really is none. In addition, Obama will try to smooth and diffuse his campaign's attack on Geraldine Ferraro's comments on gender bias in the United States, which by the way, is significant.

If you don't think so, then why do women in many jobs get paid less than male counterparts for the same work?

And, why were black men in the United States granted the right to vote before all women?

Such comparisons in reality should send the race issue to the back burner.

So did Wright and Obama give black men right to vote before women? Would Obama take credit for that?

I agree Obama's appearance on the View is an attempt to try to win female voters back. Of course, Barbara is not going to say no, ratings make money. No doubt they would want Clinton on at a later date. Unfortunately, appearing on talk shows is needed to get exposure to people who might not see them on news shows. Free bytes are free bytes no matter which candidate you are.

Whoopi is not undecided... she switched from Obama and actually voted for Clinton as she stated in one of the episodes. Sherry is the undecided one as of last week but she may be for Obama now since I dont watch every episode. Barbara does state Obama is a good man but they all say that. Barbara is a Clinton supporter.
