Obama's 'View'

Share

March 19, 2008 4:40 PM

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Barack Obama will be a guest on ABC's "The View" on Friday, March 28th, in the Democratic contender's only morning talk show appearance next week.

"I am really looking forward to my return visit to sit down with the ladies of 'The View'," Obama said.

This is the Senator's second appearance on the show but his debut as a presidential candidate.

Obama's first appearance came in November 2004 when promoting his book "Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance".

"Obviously, this is a huge day for "The View". This is a critical moment for Senator Obama and we will be devoting most of the show to his interview," said the show's executive producer Bill Geddie.

Obama was previously scheduled to be a guest in September, but had to a cancel to attend to his day job when last minute votes were called in the Senate.

His wife, Michelle Obama, also cancelled her appearance as co-host in December when she refused to cross picket lines while the WGA strike was still ongoing.

In addition to sitting down with the ladies of "The View", Obama will also be in New York City to raise a little coin and plans to attend several fundraisers.

Sorry, Kravitz, I'm hearing the exact opposite. If Obama gets the nomination, many voters simply will NOT vote. They are soured after hearing Jeremiah Wright's inflammatory, racist comments. If you think this is going away, think again. We all know that if McCain or Hillary, had a white friend like this reverend, and attended a white, supremacy church for 20 years, they would immediately lose everything. If the Super Delegates still select him, the voters will make sure, McCain wins in the end !!!

The Super Delegates need to do the right thing for the Democratic party - Obama is NO longer a viable candidate. The people finally know the truth about him. It won't be swept under a rug, no matter how much the extreme liberals and extreme, liberal media wish that it could be.

The View should book Ferraro for the next day. She apparently needs to tack on her own post script to everything Obama says or does. Some folks just don't know when to quit talking.

Obama is now supported by Rev. Wright, Farrakhan, The New Black Panther Party and his ole pal Rezco. Another racist, Rev. Meeks is now been reported to be connected to Obama. With all of Obama's racist friends it is very hard to believe his message of hope.

I will vote for John McCain or not vote at all if Obama gets the nomination.

We need to be fair America; “everyone” wants Obama to denounce his church over speeches made by his Pastor. To be fair with Obama
How many Catholics actually discontinued, denounced and demonized their Church after they found out that their Reverend, Pastors, Cardinals or Bishops was molesting young boys? Should all Catholics abandon their churches?
One cannot be punish for the sins or wrongdoing of another.
This is unnecessary distraction from the main issues facing America today, issues such as the Economy, the lost of lives of our men and women in uniform fighting in Iraq, health care, education and the future of our country etc…
We have Presidency in denial, who actually believes the war was a success after five years, with so much lives lost, and Trillions of dollars spent. This should be the main attraction/issue for every realistic persons and journalists who love our country.
The main question is why the so-called “journalist” chooses to pick on issues that are so irrelevant to the American lives. Does any one actually care more about the speech Obama Pastor made as compare to the lives of our dead service men and women, or over the endless war or over the economy, health care and crimes in our streets…?
The entire sanitized journalists should be ashamed of the “work” they do. It seems journalism of today are so sanitized and afraid to be a real journalist, instead they have to pick on anyone/issues that secure their employment…what happened to fearless and courageous reporting? That is what journalism is.
Would you please start been a journalist again by reporting issues that actually affects lives of the millions of Americans, issues ranging from how the best country in the world have so much homeless people and possible solution to eradicate homelessness, issues affecting the jobless Americans and their homes, the war, the miscarriage of justice in our society etc. Please be courageous in reporting, tearing people down is not journalism.
Thank you for reading this.

As a Dem. I think Obama political team have issues “the racial” and is going to carrier all to the next level. As a president this issue is going to increase then he won't have time to focus on any national real problems due to his own racial national problems that he is going to provoke/cause with any action, verbal discussion , etc. so then he is not going to be a good for the Dem. I’m see things that are going to be worse later on

I wish you so called americans would stop trying to decide who is more american and who is not. This country was built on the backs of slaves black and white. So please people just stop all the madness. We all have different american experiences so grow up and just agree to disagree.

Everyone needs to study the Book of Revelations!! According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is: The anti-christ will be a man,in his 40s',of MUSLIM descent,who will deceive the nations with persuasive language,and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,and when he is in power,will destroy everything!! Is it OBAMA????

Why don't more people decry Obama's 'Typical White Person' comment? What exactly is a typical white person? That clearly shows he sees people as white or black as is preached in his church. He also said that people's feelings are 'Bred'. Where did this guy go to school? I'm white and when I see a black person on the sidewalk I say "Hi! How're you doin". I guess I am Atypical and haven't been 'bred' the way typical whites have. This guy is a joke!

First Oprah, now Barbara Walters is using her celebrity and power to promote Barack Obama. I thought Ms. Walters was above this type of biased journalism but I guess not.. Too bad.

Connect the dots ...

Barbara Walters is a co-owner (with ABC) and co-executive producer of "The View".

Anne Sweeney, who is rated higher than Oprah on this list "Disney Studio Head Tops Most Powerful Women List", is Walters' boss and friend.

Anne Sweeney is friends with Maria Shriver who publicly endorsed Obama.

==> Media Bias!

Let's have Hillary Clinton on "The View"!!

I would *love* to see Ferraro on "The View"!!!! Please

Can't stand to see Bill, Hillary, Ferraro or that bald headed James Carville anymore. They make me cring. What a bunch horrible people, a bunch of losers.
