Michelle Obama Turns Her Back On "The View"

June Update:

Michelle guest hosted today, she fist bumped the ladies, talked about Laura Bush and chatted to Matthew Broderick.

Previously:
You may have heard that Michelle Obama had agreed to be a guest co-host on "The View" next month. Well, not anymore. Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton released the following statement:

"Michelle Obama will not cross a picket to line to appear on 'the View.' When the strike ends she looks forward to appearing."

But it may not be just the strike that keeps Mrs. Obama from filling the co-host's chair. This isn't the first time an Obama has canceled on The View, and the show frequently features Hillary Clinton (even the show's arch-conservative token, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, recently made a statement in defense of Clinton, thanking her for her baby gift and saying, "I may change my vote"). For now, though, Michelle will have to save her talk of sex and dirty socks for another day with the ladies.

Go to You Tube or the Obama 08 site and watch the video. "Women for Obama." It includes many discussions with Michelle Obama,as well as disussions with women who support him and it shows him speaking and interacting with women on the campaign trail. It is really revealing of the person she is and the reason why so many women are supporting Obama. I urge those of you who are simply hating, to check out this video. At least inform yourselves before you attack.

Somewhere in the primordial past someone invented the bow and arrow, and it radically improved the odds of coming home with meat for the fire. It was simply quite marvelous -- it overcame the fact that most game animals were fast and had better hearing and smelling capabilities than human beings. Simply put, you could knock off DINNER for the family while it was far away and running away.
Tribes that adapted the technique tended to get the best dinners, those that didn't got the worst if any at all.
The writers on the picket line are still living in a pre bow and arrow univrse, as the networks and producers etc. are all online with the 100 million screenwriters in INDIA AND THE 10 million plus domestic bloggers....they are commmunicating at a DISTANCE and reading their rich, creative, enlightening scripts and plots and jokes within a few minutes of when they are written so they are totally up to date.
The writers on the picket line are like the hunters who are standing their with their outdated spears, and bringing nothing home for dinner. The nepotism was good for over a century, but as George Harrison observed
ALL THINGS MUST PASS.

SOMEONE JUST TOLD A WHOPPER

Michelle Obama did not "Turn Her Back On The View"

That is a bold and obvious lie. Michelle Obama has turned her back on NO ONE. As stated by the campaign;

"Michelle Obama will not cross a picket to line to appear on 'the View.' When the strike ends she looks forward to appearing."

What's even MORE absurd than the lie itself, is the fact that there are ignoramuses who are posting in the comment section who apparently, only read the title and nothing more. Because the truth is right smack dab in their faces.

There are some really dumb and twisted people out there and for some reason, they are attracted to this website. I think I now know why.

I am guessing she smelled political suicide for her husband by appearing on the View. Too much controversy, but if Oprah called she would be there in an instant.

Is there any politician out there that is a real individual and not just a panderer, left or right, for ideas that no one feels have any merit anymore. I don't see anyone one of them as really what America needs right now at our hour of national decay because of this corrupt administration. I hate voting the lesser of two evils, but it looks like it is going to happen again.

Would she refuse to appear on Oprah??? I don't think so. So this won't wash as an excuse about crossing the picket lines.

[Izadora]

Who is she? Is she the other oprah's

"best friend?"

[union79]

This headline is not reflective of the main point in the post... that Mrs Obama won't cross the picket line. Seems to be unnecessarily slanted.... that's not what I expect from this site ~ where for or against any candidate or person.

It's insulting to the individual and to the reader.

Hope it doesn't get to be a habit.

Even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record " just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where torturing people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalking protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a "crime does pay" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who has signed nonagression deals with the KKK or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKK and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
I could be wrong since I was not there when the sellout decision was made but since nobody will admit the sellout they do not have to defend it.
.
Do a web search for "gang stalking" if you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to.

Why do the Obamas think the OLD way of doing things in Washington must go, but OLD way of doing things in the ENTERTAINMENT universe
are find and dandy? Why is the NEPOTISM in
Washington the object of such total disdain, and rightfully so, and that in Hollywood AOK?
A long list of words for writing an answer!!!
IF the writers unions isnt a bunch of inbreds
then what is?

It's interesting to me that I received an email from the Huffington Post letting me know that Hillary refused to cross the picket line (and I respect her for that despite remaining opposed to her for President) but that the headline of this post is "Michelle Obama Turns Her Back On "The View"" instead of "Michelle Obama Refuses to Cross the Picket Line To Appear on "The View"". A bit of preferential treatment for Hillary, ya think?

[Witchitalineman]

Michelle Obama would do well to stay away from "The View" regardless of the picket line.

[cuthbertallgood]

I don't currently back Barack Obama, and I have never seen the View, just heard about it via stories about Rosie, Whoopi and the one who thinks the Earth is flat...but Michelle Obama made the proper decision here, without a doubt. She should honor that picket line, and not assist a show being struck.
I very much admire this decision. Same goes for the candidates not crossing for the debate.
This is what Democratic candidates, and their spouses, should do.
Good for Barack and Michelle.

I guess that we really haven't gotten much further than the 50's. "I don't like that bitch", "She's full of shit", "I don't want to hear a bunch of hens cackling". "______ is a lesbian".

So many comments here and on the street regarding the View sound like so much catty crap from a real life Desperate Housewives.

Are we to deduce from this that women really aren't ready for the vote?

[Kalima]

Why would she need to go on the View?
It seems to be another excuse for a gossip rag,except for Whoopi.
Sometimes even if there is the election to consider,
class and the lack of it,is more important.
Good for her.

[vivibear]

I am not familiar with you. But she seems so much like a member on http://femmate.com.
Maybe, just maybe, she was also a lesbian? Who knows? LOL
