Barack Obama on "the View" today

[Blue_Roses]

He was talking about the morning after the election when Bush called him and he said he had breakfast with him, Cheney, and Rove. That would have been a tough breakfast to force down...seriously, though, very good interview and Meredith is just enamored with him:loveya:

Great interview! I'm so proud to have him on our team and he does offer hope!:bounce:

1. Too bad Star Jones wasn't there

she is crazy about him. I had to watch just to see Elisabeth (the Republican) give him those dirty looks she always gives to anyone who is not a Bush-lover.

3. when Edwards came on she had him some ugly angry look on her face

the whole time towards Edwards.

Edwards tried to talk about issues but Barbara Walters wanted gossip.

starr jones was there so she was able to help edwards talk about the issues.

4. I know, I thought the same thing

Today is the first day I have been able to watch the view since the election. I just can't stomach Elizabeth.

[siliconefreak]

12. same here!

I stopped watching after the election too - mainly because of Elizabeth. I still can't understand why they chose her. She's awful: annoying, not funny, and Republican! (Actually, those 3 characteristics go hand-in-hand...)

13. First day I've watched since the election too

I just wanted to see Barack Obama.

16. He was pretty awesome

He makes me smile and gives me such hope for this party.

2. but what did he have to say about aL jones

(i assume he took starr's name)

that's aLL the view's audience cares about - starr's LoveLife.

[Blue_Roses]

6. sure--ok.

whatever:eyes:

[fugue]

5. I despise that show

I think it's a patriarchal plot to demonstrate that women really aren't the intellectual equals of men. "Just look at what women consider a news show!"

[Blue_Roses]

7. Is the view supposed to be a "news show"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahahahahahahahah...:D

Then I can see why you are so disappointed:eyes:

[sniffa]

8. you're quite the douche today

[Blue_Roses]

11. ...

whatever:eyes: Nobody said you had to respond to this thread--there's a nice little x there for you. I just don't care too much for cynicism when I'm trying to discuss something that I think is important--like hope for our party.

[fugue]

9. Yes, I'm told that's what it is supposed to be

News from the female point of view or some such thing.

I was appalled when I first saw it and appalled to at least one order of magnitude greater when I learned that it is supposed to be a news show.

[siliconefreak]

10. get real

Don't be an idiot. Of course it's not a news show. I've never heard any of them claim that it is.

[fugue]

14. That's what I've heard it's supposed to be

It was on another TV show--don't remember which--but they insisted it was supposed to be a news show.

[siliconefreak]

18. it's a variety/talk show

That's why it's nominated every year as "Best Talk or Variety Show".

15. Obama said absolutely nothing of substance today

Now he gets to start acting like a bland and inoffensive politician. Just what we need.

[Blue_Roses]

17. what did you want him to say?

be more specific--like what?

19. he seemed to be a making a media tour today

also on Imus.
