Obama -- Brad's the Hot One in the Family

The yentas of "The View" went all googly-eyed for Barack Obama on today's show, but it was Barbara Walters who really went there with Barack.


When asked about being Brad Pitt's ninth cousin, Obama said that Brad was the one who got the looks in the family -- Babwa disagreed, strongly. And then they had to go and talk about stuff like foreign policy and race relations and O-blah-blah-blah-ma ...

61. The only way Obama (or Hillary for that matter) can deliver on his promises is by raising YOUR taxes. He may be eloquent speaker and a likable person but come on... Stop being "sheeple". Think for yourselves, do the research on the candidates. He's the most liberal senator in the Senate...how will being that partisan unify the nation? It's quite frightening how easily people will blindly support someone. Are you really ready for a Socialist president? That's what you get if you vote Democrat. You want the government to take care of you? Take care of yourself! Lose your "follow the herd" mentality! Question THINGS...you'll better yourself in the long run, I promise. Don't count on the government to save you, it won't happen. The government can't even care for it's veterans and you want them to run the entire healthcare system. What a joke.

62. Johnwon -- YOU ARE A LIAR!!
1. Did you see Obama's tax records, the man is NOT rich, he and his wife's COMBINED income last year was less than a million (and that is only because he sold a few books, he wrote yars ago) AND I am sure that you are aware that growing up Obama was raised by a single mother, and he and his mother HAD TO live at home with his grandparents.
(Hillary's net worth is OVER $10 million dollars. AND John McCain's net worth is over $13 million dollars
2. Obama NEVER,EVER sold drugs!
3. It was Hillary who made racist remarks about Gandhi. Hillary rudely said in a speech she was giving that Gandhi could be found running a gas station down in Saint Louis. (Just go google it to find the YouTube Video)
4. AND BY THE WAY, Obama did more than most other senators in the US Senate for the victims of Katrina, just go google it. He held prEss conferences, calling on Illinoisans to contibute to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort. Obama went to Houston with President Bush, and Bill Clinton, to visit evacuees of Katrina. In the Senate, Obama co-sponored the Katrina Emergency Relief Act of 2005. Obama also co-sponsored the Hurricane Katina Bankrupy Relief and Community Protection Act of 2005. Obama also co-sponsored Gulf Cost Infrastructure Redevelopment and Recovery Act of 2005. Obama also introduced legislation to help low-income children affected by Hurricane Katrina. Obama also introduced legislation requiring states to create an emergency evacuation plan for society's most vulnerable. And so on, and so on, and so on.... This man, Obama was very focused on helping Katrina victim, all you have to do to find the the truth, just look it up, google - Obama and Katrina
5. The fact is every Senator in the US Senate, says that Obama is a very intelligent hardworking, focused Senator, who will work with Democrates,or Republicans, as long as it results in things gettng done for the American tax paying people.
6. Obama does not like lobbyists, he DOES NOT think politicians should be paid or influenced by lobbyists for big business. Hillary Clinton n te other hand loves lobbyist, loves lobbyist money, and has no problem being paid and influenced by lobbyist money.
7. Let's not start on the fact that Hilary lies, and lies, and lies, eveything she has mentioned as being foreign policy experience has been a LIE!!
JUST GO TO factcheck.org: www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/hillarys_adventures_abroad.html
THINK HILLARY, AND BILL ARE GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH IN THE WHITE HOUSE, IF THE CLINTON'S ARE ALREADY TELLING BOLD FACE LIES DURING THE CAMPAIGN. AND W ALL RMEMBER HOW WILLING BILL WAS TO LIE WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT.

63. ROFLOLOLOLOL - I have had some good laughs tonight. Wow are there a lot of sheep out there. Barack Obama is a Politician, He is not a messiah, a Prophet, or a savior.Its Election time again and the candidates are spoon feeding us what we want to hear again. Look to yourself for change, The only change he will bring is higher taxes and lack of personal freedoms. Hello Welfare State! And that Lovely wife of his is an absolute disgrace of a human being, seldom Have I been more disgusted with another fellow human being as when I have to listen to her overinduldged self entitled speeches. His attendance and voting records are lack luster at best, His speeches however are inspired, Reverend Wright taught him well.

I agree with Johnwon - the three candidates we have left are abysmal and again we have been let down by the parties. The same parties that burn MILLIONS of dollars per month on advertising there candidates. DISGUSTING
Our economy is in dire straights, we are on the verge of a recession, many people are holding on to there assets by a thread and good ol Barack Obama throws 35 million dollars out to win the candidacy, Oh Wait that was for February only. Lobbyists, special interests, unions, Media moguls, they are all the same to me. They want to get there hooks into the future president in order to shape policy for there benefits.... BO is as guilty as the others of the same game.

64. stop making racist commets about obama, yall just cant handle it cuz there's a black man running for prez and that there's a chance he could win. what makes him a racist when his mother is white? yall are so ignorant, seems to me the ones that make those mean comments about him are racist themselves and dont want to see a black man in the white house running things. its so sickening. mclain is too damn old to be the president of our country, he to old to handle the stresses of running a country, he might have a heart attack or a stroke. i think obama has all the best intentions for this country, CHANGE is what we need. i love obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

67. It would have been nice if he would have actually answered a friggen question. Every question he was asked he basically skirted around giving non-answers.

He and hillary both annoy the hell out of me.

And what makes Obama good looking? He's right when he said Pitt got the looks in the family. Its just like how people gush over the former president Clinton... come on. To say these guys are "hot" is like saying Bush really did great on this war.

Besides, what do looks and a name have to do with anything? Basically - he has no experiene... and I don't know what makes Hillary think she can attack him on that point because being the wife of a former president doesn't make her miss know it all. If you were having heart surgery and the doctor was unavailable, would you say "Ok bring in his wife, she's been married long enough tha she should know something about heart surgery."

68. This country does NOT need another man for president. Maybe just maybe if we get a woman in there as president things will be better not worse (they can't get any worse since bush is almost out of office THANK GOD for that) IF and that's a big if there was any intelligence in this country ( which obviously there isn't or bush would not have been president for 2 terms, 1 cheated to win and the 2nd stupid people voted him in) people would vote a woman in as president, but obviously it's ok to have a black man as president but not a woman, well woman were here before balck men God created woman before he created black men, but people still think men can be president better then a woman can be. Well bush has shown how wrong that is.

69. He will be our next President. I am so happy that he has done so well. Everyone now is jumping on board to get him the nomination. It really is a beautiful thing to see. He has ben on Larry King, and CNN this past week, and did a great job. We are all so lucky to have him for our next President. And his speech today in Pennsylvania, was inspiring. Thousands showed up, and many had to stay outside because of lack of room. I believe the Stadium held 25,000. He will go down as one of the Best President's in U.S. History. Obama We LOVE YOU!

70. Obama, Obama, we love you! Can't wait for you to become President!!! Your smile lights up the whole world! Go Obama!

71. Sarah you actually need to better check your facts on his income tax returns what I did notice more than anything is that he donates less than 1 percent of his income to charity and the largest year of donation just happened to be the year he announced his nomination for candidacy that standng on A Change it certainly isn't starting with him,and the largest contribution went to his spiritual organization for 27,000.

As for the lies,he sat right on the view and lied he said that everyone mis characterized his relationship with Rev Wright like he was his mentor and that simply wasn't true, yet 2 weeks prior he was on national televsion declaring this was his pastor, spiritual advisor, mentor,He was like and unlce to him a part of the family. It is bad enough to be lied to by already elected politicians but I am not about to vote for one who can't even keep track of the lies before they even get into office and most certainly when it comes to Issues as strong as Rev. Wrights and I.m sorry saying you mother is prej yet you still love her is completely diff than this , If Hilary's pasor was the grand marshall of the kkk people would not be so quick to seperate the two

73. Racists is a very say depressing word, you would think this day and age the great United States of America would be further along than the yesteryears.
I've been there and walked and it is sad. First Barack has to speak for his ignorant preacher because the media wants to know why he is in that church, gosh..get a grip. Then his family is trash, then he get's slammed for being related to other famous people...Hey Barack, you rock and keep striving.
I'll keep us all in prayers!!!
Hope you win in November.
