The View talk show is making History! The View will become the only daytime talk show to interview a sitting president! Barabara Walters will even be present for this Historic event. Barbara Walters has been visibly absent from the talk show because the world renowned journalist had heart surgery early this summer and wasn't scheduled to come back until September. Although I know what an honor it is to have a sitting president come to the show, I am beginning to wonder if Barbara Walters' motives have more to do with Elizabeth Hasselbeck's lack of decorum and her recent controversial statements about certain issues. The conservative Hasselbeck has been known to spar with her more liberal co-hosts and is no stranger to controversial statements. She once argued that the morning-after pill should be banned even in cases of rape and incest, and she criticized ESPN's Erin Andrews for being the victim of a stalking because she was "wearing next to nothing." She also has been known to go on "anti-Obama" rants whenever the president's name is mentioned. If she brings up the Jeremiah Wright racial youtube video- that surfaced during his campaign-I am going to loose decorum, for the first time, and jump through the television!!! I think that Barbara Walters suspects that Elizabeth probably can't hold it together so she is most likely making this appearance to make sure that Elizabeth's "View" won't permanately damage the reputation of the show. So tune in at 10:00 on channel 7 to witness history and to see if Elizebeth controversial "views" will get her in trouble once again!
