Yesterday on The View, everyone was itching to find out how she was going to react to the fact that Barack Obama was elected as the next president of the United States of America.
I was blown away by Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s sudden switch to being a supporter of Obama after all these months of dragging him, and his wife, through the mud and campaigning for the Republican party. She said some pretty amazing things about him and, while I agree with what she said, I’m so confused by her

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Hearts Obama Now!
All through the Election Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been showing her support for John McCain…and now all of a sudden Barack Obama was elected President and she shuts up. I think she should have really said what she wanted by saying she thought it was a mistake. At least it would make her more human. For someone who fought so hard for what she believed in, I think the move was weak…no matter how she said it.
But, on the other hand, seeing Sherri Shepherd in tears because Obama is President is so m

Hasselbeck Keeps Us On Our Toes
Within minutes of hearing the news that Barack Obama would be the next President of the United States, my mind went to a dark place: "Take that, Elisabeth Hasselbeck!" I couldn't wait to turn on The View this morning and watch the show's resident crazy cry in shame and weep for the state of our nation. Unfortunately, she threw us for a loop and acted like a classy, intelligent human being. Who knew?

Sherri Shepherd Lets Us Know How It Feels
Granted, Sherri Shepherd is the View host that purportedly thought that the Earth was flat
and you could drive right off the edge. Yeah, but we'd like to forgive
her for that today. Mainly because she explained today, as a woman of
color, how she feels about Barack Obama winning the presidential election
and how it affected her young son. Please have your Kleenex ready and
afford Sherri a pass for any dumb thing she says for at least the next
six months after watching this clip.

I knew this day would come, the morning after the election on The View. The show should have just been called ‘The Argument’ for the past six months, because that’s all they’ve been doing, but today it was back to the normal woman to woman love fest.
All eyes were on Elizabeth Hasselbeck when the show opened, and she said she would support President Obama and called his victory, “a victory for our country.”
Regardless of the fact she was lying through her teeth, and if
