Bill Clinton was a first time guest of The View on ABC this morning. The women were on their best behavior and very quickly seemed totally caught up in his charismatic spell. He was relaxed and unhurried in responding to their questions about Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain and Sarah Palin.
As has been said of the former President in the past, he has a way of charming those around him. The shows co-hosts Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and even staunch Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck hung on his every word and let him do most of the talking.
Clinton patiently answered a variety of thought provoking questions and gave an interesting take on the current mortgage crisis and the proposed government bailout.
Check out the three videos below. Note: there is a very short clip at the beginning of the first tape that was a lead-in to Clinton being introduced.
