Those who criticize Whoopie for alluding to slavery have, obviously, not read the constitution of the United States. It is okay to talk of the holocaust, but whenever Blacks speak of slavery there is a problem!
Michelle Obama's bones were picked to pieces when she was misquoted about her pride in her country. Cindy should have been asked about her pride in her country after her appearance on The View.
By the way, Elizabeth, we are tired of you continuing to attack Obama with such hate and anger. Rosie was right about you. When you talk you sound like Sarah Palin:scripted, false and like an illiterate Ms. America contestant. You could learn a lot from Michelle Obama, the Harvard graduate. You are one of the dumbest fools on T.V.

That interview was fair and right on. So far we have heard nothing about any changes from the "Shrub doctrine" from the the Mcsame camp. How about Palin go in Face the Nation so we can see her without scripted answers? BTW, I donated another $50.00 to Barak as this "picked our bones clean" statement just infuriated me.

The ad about Obama supposedly supporting 'comprehensive sex education' to kindergarten students was a blatant lie. The program he supported was actually to help kids recognize and report inappropriate touching. Yet McCain stood there and boldly lied again on the View. If he and Cindy continue to say that it is true, then they are either liars or just plain stupid. I don't think we need them running our country. Sorry, Cindy, you deserve no pity from us. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

If she feels beat up on "The View", she should stay out of Washington where the true buzzards roost.

Once again, It seems that it is women who ask the tough and right questions that are on voters mind. Remember Campbell Brown interview?
The "male" anchors tend to take it easy. They will usually pick talking points of day out of candidate speeches and then have spin masters from the respective campaigns explain aka spin these talking points. How about getting neutral commentators from say think tank institutions for analysis rather than old, has been party faithfuls (most of current) CNN political experts.

If McCain can't handle tough questions and be able to provide a substance respond, how then will McCain be able to be a president? He'll be a splitting image of Bush.

Liar #2. More of the Same old Rhetoric and distortions. The polls don't take into account Cell Phone users (most of the 18-34 Crowd that supports Barack heavily), doesn't poll the underprivelaged. Honestly, how does any poll of 900 people determine what Millions will do? It doesn't!! Reagan was in the same boat and he Crushed Jimmy Carter. Obama will crush McSame as Bush.

I don't usual watch the view, but i'm glad i tuned in.. Barbara Walters did what she is best known for...asking the tough questions. If McSame and his whiny wife didn't want to have to be honest and answer the tough questions then they should have hid from the press...afterall that is what they do with palin....she's allowed to say what's written...and God forbid if she speaks on her own...she opens her mouth and discloses her inability to make sense..let alone lead the country! All the american people have to do is read the blogs.....the only cry babies are the mcsames, palins and the repulbicans...they dish it out woth lies and smears but yet can't take the truth. i even wonder why todd palin has to trail behind his wife at every event....is he on the payroll too?...hmmm!...kinda makes you agree w/the safety commissioner as to the "first dudes" involvement in troppergate~ you can bet she won't do to many "solo" events...she can't be trusted with what idiocy comes from her mouth and john mcsame can't draw a crowd without her....they are making fools of themselves. there was an anti-palin rally in alaska...why isn't cindy mcsame focusing on that?...or haven't they pinpointed any group yet to blame.

I don't watch The View mainly because talk shows do not interest me, but I am happy to hear that someone had the chutzpah (sp?) to ask the questions that the so-called NEWS MEDIA refuses to ask. Being an Obama/Biden supporter, and incidentally, a white female voter (in her 40's), it would logically make me happy to hear that someone made the McCains squirm. But hey, I don't have a problem with either Obama or Biden or both having to be put under the same microscope. They won't be as uncomfotable because they have honest open answers for all the same questions. You notice how when the republicans have to answer questions that they simply can't answer honestly - they squirm trying to come up with some lie (pathetic lie, I might add). Hence the one and only Sarah Palin interview with Charles Gibson. It's pretty scary to think that republican voters out there will just blindly go along with all these lies, half truths, and exaggerations that the McCain/Palin campaign is throwing out there. Wake-up people, think for yourselves!

My dear Cindy,

It is more important to you to defend tough questions regarding your husbands policies and lying, deceitful ways than to speak on behalf of integrity and honor. Your husband has engaged in the most disgusting, nasty political campaigns and we are appalled that you all condone these tactics.

It doesn't say much for your own character nor give much credence to anything that comes out of your mouth....

in other words... defend truth and integrity or simply, shut up.

When The View is described as the most hard-hitting interview a Presidential candidate has has to go through, the cable news networks should hang their collective heads in shame.

First they LIE, then they CRY when someone calls them on their Lie. She didn't act so upset when she and her husband told the straight out lies, oh boo hoo.

Typical, typical typical. It's not nice to ask us why we lie on a talk show, you're just supposed to ask softball questions, like, is that a new dress, who does your hair, John, are those new shoes?

Maybe the main stream media will finally get the hint and do Their job. Ask the question about ads that are flat out lies. Media, the View asked the questions America wants to know, so now it's your turn to do your job!

Everybody knows that with the exception of Elisabeth the View gang is liberal. What do you expect, they treat Obama like a star and act like attack dogs with McCain. The condescending left in this country can't handle the fact that a REAL American woman (Sarah Palin) has hit the scene. She hunts, she fishes, she rides motorcycles and can still put on a dress and high heels and look good. She represents true America and is just as qualified as Obama. Unlike Obama she has a record. You Liberals are just plain jealous elitist and out of touch losers.

After weeks of reading comments about the campaign I think I've finally reached my tolerance limit. I have never read and heard so many hateful comments from Americans about Americans. In almost every election that has ever taken place, facts and comments are misrepresented and twisted. I hate to break it to you but Obama is just as guilty of this as McCain is so I wouldn't be throwing stones. The fact is this is a very close race and just like the last two elections, it shows how much this country is divided and this will not be a "landslide" victory (at least not if the election was held today). It's the extremists from both parties that have lost the ability to hear other points of view without name calling that made me leave the Democrat party and became an Independent. People, show some respect.

THANKS BUT "NO THANKS" TO mcSAME-PA'IN!!!! The latest from NEWSWEEK - "WHAT WOMEN WANT????" written in "lipstick".... lol WOMEN are separated and the MSM is making that a POINT! Is it what WHITE women vs. what WOMEN OF COLOR want? NO!!! Because Obama's campaign and the MAJORITY of the WORLD have ALL types of WOMEN - there's DIVERSITY there!!! CINDY - PA'IN - and other righteous REPUBLICAN WOMEN represent only ONE type of woman. THE VIEW, in this case - represented a DIVERSE set of WOMEN!!! And there are things "WE WANT TOO". Get used to it Cindy - the WHOLE WORLD "does not" center around YOU and the RIGHTEOUS Right and ONLY what YOU WANT!!!! So we ask again - WHAT DO "ALL" WOMEN" WANT?" That's a DEBATE!!! OBADEN 2008-2016 - YES WE "WOMEN" CAN and WANT OBADEN!!!!

Regardless of the high level of disrespect that the angry women of The View displayed towards Senator John McCain, they can never stop the McCain/Palin ticket from surging ahead. Experience and credibility are much more important than celebrity status.

I will be voting for the true American hero John McCain come November and then for Senator Hillary Clinton in 2012.

The Democratic Party and its undemocratic lleaders will pay a big price for denying us the most qualified democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton!

What ever you think about the ladies of The View, they had the "GUTS" to ask the questions, confront the lies and ask for truth. Most of the media outlets seem to be cowered by the part of the industry that fires the reporters if the left is not satisfied with thier search for truth.

THE NAME CALLING BY EVEN THODE OF US THAT BLOGG OR JUST TALK ABOUT CONCERNS IS THE FALL OUT OF THIS ATMOSPHERE OF DECEPTION AND HATE.

THERE ARE IMPORTANR ISSUES OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE IN AMERICA IS IN THE BALANCE!!

YOU COULD SEE THE FIRE IN MCSAMES EYES HE WAS SO ANGRY, NOT ONLY THAT WHEN HE DOES NOT WANT TO ANSWER A QUESTION HE JUST TALKS RIGHT OVER A PERSON HE DID THAT ON THE VIEW, I WISH I HAD PUT MY TAPE RECORDER ON BECAUSE I WOULD OF LOVED TO SEE THE INTERVIEW OVER AGAIN A COUPLE OF TIMES. HE NEEDS MORE OF THOSE KIND OF INTERVIEWS MAYBE HE WILL WAKE UP AND TELL MORE TRUTH BUT I DOUT IT. I am from Canada and praying for Obama to be your President .

You are not really pulling ahead because McCain is the better President; you are pulling head because some white people are gullible, and will not vote for Obama just because he is black. Because they hear the lies McCain puts out there and want to believe him because he is white. Don’t fool yourself.

Oh please Mrs. McCain. I bet John thought he was going on that show to talk about baking or something b/c he forgot (or most likely didn't know) that Barbera Walters is a journalist.

I was glad someone finally asked McCain tough questions w/o letting him wiggle out of it. It's sad that the View and the National Enquirer are more credible than the MSM.

I don't think most of McCain's die hard supporters really care that his recent ads are lies. He would have to have a major position change for his supporters to change their minds. As for Palin, social conservatives only like her for her staunch social positions not her economic record.

I think Barbara Walters needs to clean up her own mess before she criticizes someone else. Proverbs 30:12. What difference does it make how many houses the McCain's has as long as he is able to do what needs to be done for America and I think he can. People should not watch the View, Oprah Winfrey or any of these disgusting media that think they know it all. As for Sarah Palin, she may be common, but along with that comes common sense and that is more valuable than all the nonsense these TV hosts dish out. Don't under estimate Ms. Palin's abilities until you know her better.

As an independent my question is. Obama who? What has he done? You want to pick on Palin? Please… She has about as much experience as Obama which isn’t much. Obama is losing because he is inexperienced and people are learning that. Think about it. He has the perfect environment to get elected as a Democrat unlimited money and the media grossly on his side and he’s having problems. He was giving a gimme and is losing it. I myself was going to vote Democrat no matter what, but cannot in good conscious vote for this man who has done nothing except prove that he can’t be trusted. Not sure what the Dems were thinking, they should have put up a viable candidate.

To What Obama Supporters Do Not Know:

You sound like a reasonable person, but all I hear coming from you are some catch phrase, such as socialism, Marxism, etc...

I agree with you that people SHOULD examine Obama's plan for this country, which the media has quite deftly obfuscated. The fact is, he is nothing close to a socialist and exemplifies the values this country was founded on of individual hard work, self determination, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. He just wants to make sure the same opportunity is in place for future generations. I am optimistic that this is what will happen if people really want to come back from that breach we have put ourselves on with the Bush style of "leadership".

The McCains are the very image of the rancor and hideous underbelly of the racist element in America. Folks, these people are really out of touch, elect McCain and allow the festering mortgage, Wall Street financial predicament and the mismanaged war in Iraq and Afghanistan to drive the nation we all love so dearly to complete financial ruin.

Please do not allow the so called conservatives to shape America’s future they have proven themselves to be misguided and ignorant to continue to talk of tax cuts for the privilege few when the nation is prosecuting two major wars and ordinary folks can hardly make end meet.
