Mitt Romney 'View' Appearance: Republican Presidential Candidate Cancels On ABC Talk Show


........................

Through a campaign spokesperson, Romney announced that he would visit the program in October after devastating comments made during a fundraising event were released through a secretly recorded video. Romney called the ABC talk show "high-risk" and said that co-host Whoopi Goldberg had a particularly sharp tongue.

While his comments about the roughly 47 percent of Americans who do not pay taxes made headlines, his remarks about the ABC daytime talk show raised some eyebrows as well.

Walters addressed his Thursday cancellation at the top of Monday's show. She said:

Gov. Romney was supposed to be on with us this Thursday with Ann Romney. We were looking forward to it. Over the weekend, his people said that he had scheduling problems and would not be coming on with us. Nor at this point did he feel that he could reschedule. We are happy to have Mrs. Romney on with us. We are sorry that we won't have Governor Romney and that's the situation...He can change his mind and we hope he does. It would be our pleasure to have him on the program.

[Liberalynn]

5. Whoopi would have

whooped his ass! Mittens is a spineless turd!

[randome]

3. They can still ask Entitled Ann what she thinks of the 47% remark.

[lunasun]

38. They WILL have to ask Ann - He is not gonna waste time talking directly to a bunch

of women ...oh no
women are not important enough for him to address directly
They can speak with the Mrs.

[regnaD kciN]

4. Brave Sir Mittens ran away...

[awoke_in_2003]

40. When danger reared its ugly head...

Sir Mitty bravely turned and fled . Thanks, I am going to have that song in my head all day

[KamaAina]

6. His drag outfit must be at the cleaners

remember when he spray-tanned himself before he went on Univision?

[Denise21]

7. Afraid of Whoopi...

darn right to be very afraid of Whoopi she might ask some questions about your taxes that you don't want to answer...Americans why are we not asking for his taxes! Come on how much can we let them get away with.

[lsewpershad]

8. Coward

Afraid of "sharp tongue" intelligent Black woman..me think.

[graywarrior]

17. Uppity Negress, he means

[lordjin]

27. Ha

My thoughts exactly.

[Epiphany4z]

9. what a wimp

I mean if he is scared to talk to Whoopie....is he really going to be able to deal with world leaders....is going to hide under the desk and have someone tell them he is not in? Have his wife take the call for him or call him in sick? what?
.
He is scared to deal with criticism over his taxes too. Romney excuse is he is scared...and somehow that is ok

[yellowcanine]

10. Mitt is afraid of Wooopi Goldberg? Not surprising. He is used to women who

take their cues from men.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. Oh yeah,....like Romney was going to subject himself to females.

[Drab]

12. What is he afraid of......

[cstanleytech]

13. If he turns chicken from going on the View imagine what he will do as president when challenged. nt

[dmr]

14. I bet the leaders of the world have taken note.

They already know he's an idiot.

Now they know he's a fearful idiot.

[onehandle]

15. Chicken. nt

[truthisfreedom]

16. rMoney's afraid of the black woman with the "particularly sharp tongue."

Translation: rMoney's afraid of the black woman with the particularly sharp mind.

[vinny9698]

18. Now Romney is sitting on the so called lead and does not want to blow it.

Romney campaign thinks it has momentum and they are going to go and blow their chances by going into a scene in which they do not have total control.

[Heather MC]

19. Of Course he was going to back out duh, not suprised at all

[Javaman]

20. Mitten chickens and instead sends in the vapid responce team. nt

[McCamy Taylor]

21. Romney is bad with women.

[LibGranny]

22. OMG! Remember what happened when ol' McCain

cancelled his appearance on Letterman? His campaign went into the toilet! rMoney doesn't have the cojones to even schedule an appearance on Letterman! He's a coward in more ways than one!

[triplepoint]

23. mutt dogpile = The Cowardly Vulture Capitalist

How Can I Get to and Hide Out in France and Avoid the Vietnam War?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Nice concept, but wrong graphic. The Cowardly Lion was ultimately brave. Mitt was never brave. nt

[Diclotican]

What a coward - but then again Woppi Goldberg can be a rather snappy one who sometimes tend to tell the truth - even if it hurts. And I also suspect that he would have had trouble getting away from Ms Goldberg, she is a interesting woman to say at least - and intelligent..

Diclotican

[grasswire]

26. afraid of Joy too, no doubt

Maybe even afraid of Baba Wawa.

[patrice]

28. Hiding behind his wife again. & Whoopi will have to mind her manners or get called a bully ...

they'll probably call her a bully anyway, so maybe she should pre-empt that with an observation/question about what the probabilities are that she'll be called a bully no matter how she acts around Queen Anne.

[33Greeper]

29. If RMoney is afraid to face Whoopi....

then how can we trust him to face Putin?

[SoapBox]

30. Oh ya!

Good comment.

[Dem2TheCore]

33. He'll send Ann to take care of Putin?

[bamacrat]

31. He avoided the two types of people he cares least about...

All in one person. A black woman... That's the female minority vote he cares so little about....

[Geoff R. Casavant]

32. Let's see where his schedule takes him.

McCain's campaign didn't go into the toilet because he bailed on Letterman; it went into the toilet because he bailed on Letterman but still made time for an interview with someone else just a few blocks away.

I'd like to see what event would be so important that Romney simply has to forego a national audience.

[L0oniX]

34. Frank Conniff: Romney won't be on "The View" due to scheduling conflict. ...

He forgot he was scheduled to not want to discuss women's issues.

[lindysalsagal]

35. Turning down free national tv time with women is chicken and stupid.

I hope Obama comes and fills rMoney's time, instead. He danced with Ellen. Wonder what they could get him to do on the view?

[lunasun]

39. Both the Obamas have been on the View recently

[llmart]

36. What a weenie.

n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

37. I hope they chew up Ann and spit her out.

[ailsagirl]

41. ...
