Forget the mortgage crisis.
Who cares about rising gas prices?
Drill for oil, don't drill for oil. Whatever.
The true indicator of which Presidential candidate is best suited for office in America today is how each of their wives behaves in the dressing room of The View.
To present that insight, take it away Elisabeth Hasselbeck...

Who really cares what was said in the dressing room. It is amazing to see such educated, intelligent people acting like high school students in a popularity contest. Why isn't anybody concerned about who is going to do what to fix this country? You try to read and stay up on politics when all you read and hear about is high school bathroom gossip. People that are in the media are held to a higher standard and they can unit us all, yet comments such as this are just down right juvenile. Neither of these women, Cindy or Michelle deserve to have their personal lives ran through the mud. If Michelle had something to hide, face it, the Republicans or any journalist would have found it by now. She didn't just step into the lime light. If she got involved with a married man, stole drugs from a charity or any of those things, it would be front and center. As for Cindy, she has come through her addiction, and tried to make amends for any mistakes she made, so how does any of those things matter. If Michelle doesn't want to answer certain questions then so be it. Why blast her? Why bring of Cindy's problems of the past. None of which on either side will affect John McCain or Barack Obama's ability to run this country and deal with the REAL ISSUES. Grow up Hasselback. Bring something positive to the table. She had the opportunity to motivate a crowd and leave them with something positive and yet she chose to go back to high school and try to hand with the popular girls. Sad, so very, very sad.

I have stopped watching the View because of Elizabeth's rude behavior to her fellow co-hosts. She acts like her opinion is the only one that matters. Barbara needs to get rid of her, period. I would rather hear opinions from Joy or Whoopie or Sherri who lived during the real history (Cold War, Vietnam, Kennedy years, Martin Luther King and Bobbie Kennedy years, the landing on the moon years). I am sick of her whining. My god if she was any farther up McCain's butt she would be President. God help us.

with a biased liberal media and liberal audience of the view, elisabeth hasselback has no chance of pleasing anyone who watches that show. who watches that show? it's unfortunate that a conservative republican is ridiculed for having an opinion and then has their personal life bashed in every direction. btw, the view is called the view for a reason. otherwise, it should be called "just for liberals" or "the deomocrat show". give me a break. there are 4 liberal democrats that host that show. it would be really boring if it was just them. think about it- 4 to 1 . is it really a problem to listen to someone who has another opinion? what happened to just plain ole disagreeing? i am proud to be in a country where you are free to have and stand by your own opinion. reading some of these comments makes me think that some of these ppl are stuck in a time warp in a different country.

First of all, yes there is a biased media that goes both ways- Faux, I mean FOX news anyone? Second, freedom of opinion and speech is what America is about, but try telling that to Elizabeth. My problem with her is instead of having a normal adult discussion, she turns it into a war. You can see her foaming at the mouth, ready to disagree, the moment she sits down. Most of the time she doesn't even let them get anywhere near completing a thought because she has already disagreed. Second, she is a host of a show and willingly broke the confidentiality agreement of a guest that was on her show, to create doubt in the minds of voters. We don't know what Michelle didn't want to discuss. Why didn't she confront her about it while she was there vs. smiling to her face and talking about her behind her back- just like high school. The hosts were more than cordial to the McCain's who have plenty of not so secret skeletons that could have been brought up on stage. That is the issue a hand.

I am agreeing with Elizabeth when she said "btw, the view is called the view for a reason. otherwise, it should be called "just for liberals" or "the democrat show"
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Her opinion MATTERS. I enjoy watching the View, For the different "VIEWS" Thats the whole point of the show. Of course she is going to argue all the time, she doesn't need to "grow-up" she needs to be APPLAUDED. Even if you don't agree with her, she is STRONG ENOUGH and INDEPENDENT ENOUGH to FIGHT for what she BELIEVES no matter what anyone thinks or says about it and she does it LIVE ON NATIONAL TELEVISON. It gives all those girls someone too look up too.
The view will lose it's audience if they got rid of her. Lord knows I do not want to sit around listening to a bunch of liberal's talking about THEIR opinions.
Are only LIBERALS allowed to have an opinion? I think not! Welcome to America!
By the Way, If Michelle Obama came in with a list of things that can not be talked about and SHE IS HIDING things, Makes you think about what her husband is hiding.
Are you serious? A list of things not to talk about. Why come on the show?
Michelle already is demanding and hiding information, Imagine when her husband is President what she will hide.

Elisabeth needs to get a life and one day someone will break her down. She is weak and thinks she is mighty. She tries to run with the big dogs but doesn't know how to keep up. Get rid of her on the View and get someone who is worthy of that hour.

While I agree the View is called that for a reason and a healthy debate from different view points is what the show is about...I can't stand Elizabeth Hasselbeck either. She acts like victim when one of the other women tries to get a word in edgewise-a typical republican tactic. It is especially creepy that she uses her unique position to back stab a guest on the show. You can bet that if one of the other hosts did the same to Cindy McCain it would be all over the place. There is a bias in the media and it ain't liberal!

I have not watched the view for a couple of years because of hasselbeck's snotty, smug attitude. It does not surprise me that she would gossip about Mrs. Obama. Hasselbeck got her start as a contestant on a reality show. Her look's and her knee's have gotten her this far in my opinion. I Love joy but not enough to risk putting my foot through the television. Harumphhhhhh.
