Whoopi Switches From Obama To Hillary

Yesterday on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg switched her endorsement from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton. Whoopi cited Clinton's statement that she would end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Whoopi previously believed that Obama had made that pledge first, but apparently she was mistaken. Watch the video of Whoopi on the "The View" below:

welcome to reality whoopi

[fullkelly]

Well it looks as if some in the hood will most likely label Whoopi as just another "RACE TRAITOR". For shame! This will UNhinge a lot of the Obama cult folks.

[anthonylee]

You're funny - 'cause your sad.

[SUNRAI]

Awww who cares.... It's trivial.

[BKGirl]

The bitch Whoopi hates her own skin color...it­'s apparent every time she confronts Sherrie for daring to be ethnic.

[jeffhas]

Talk about racism.

[jane1]

Why is it acceptable to refer to a woman as a "bitch"? You need to grow up or find some class and a real point of view rather than hate.

[TxWonderWoman]

Hopefully she confronts Sherrie for daring to be an idiot

[flasher3838]

there has only been one, one on one debate between the two canidates. most of the other had what, 6 or 7 or 8 people up on stage together. to act like it isnt a different story or situation just having a one on one debate is political speak. it is politics as usual. i thought your ne jesus, obama, was above that. i guess not, or i mean ofcourse not

[flasher3838]

all we have to do people is "hope" yes, lets all hold hands and "hope" together for a better america. that will solve all our problems. who needs experience when we got "hope". now lets all sing together

HALELUJHUA BRO GET DOWN!! OH LORD WONT YOU SEND ME A MERCEDES BENZ?

[FlowerGirl]

I haven't laughed so hard at anything since my pet possum went rabid and bit off my baby brother's nose.

[kappa08]

That dude can vote for whomever he wants!

[Zhonni]

You are crazy!lol

She is certainly entitled to support whom ever she chooses. I have heard Obama say that several times but not Clinton.

Anyways, whatever floats your boat Whoopi.

[tfangmel]

Whoopi is just as phony as her hair.How can she support someone who voted for and continues to support a war that was wrong. We won't even talk about NAFTA which the Clinton's pushed. Wake up Whoopi, you've lost your "view".

[JimK2]

Hillary fought against NAFTA

Sally Bedell Smith: In the summer of 1993 she (Hillary) tried to scuttle NAFTA.

[sarnold49]

Even Bill admitted he was wrong on NAFTA and now don't we all wish that Bush would admit he was wrong on EVERYTHING so we could start fixing our country already. BTW there were regulations in the NAFTA bill that like everything else to do with corporations has not been enforced by this administration.

[Gabrielle]

SO DISAPOINTED, SHE'S JUDGING HILLARY BY HER LYING PROMISES..­..
TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BLINDED BY THE CLINTONS LIES.

FOR CRYING OUT WHOOPI,RUSH LIMBAUGH IS SUPPORTING BILLARY NOW.

[Lalo]

F--K OFF LALO!!!

I try to refrain from using crude languages not because I don't know how to you em. I especially think some people deserve it.

WHY IS IT THAT CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE BRINGING UP THE MESSIAH NONSENSE?

I have checked your profile and I know you support Clinton so STOP THE CHARADE!

[melann830]

Dear Gabrielle,

There are also lies of ommision, which is what the Obama camp is currently demonstrating.
Please keep that in mind too when applying meaning to the word "liar".

[melann830]

Dear Whoopie,

Thank you for changing sides. Mrs. Clinton is the right person for the job, if I may humbly say so and since you now wield such clout on the air, could you please ask Mr. Obama to behave like a well mannered gentleman and debate Mrs. Clinton so that the rest of the country can truly gauge once and for all who is the most prepared to enter the oval office. Also, asking for her taxes after her request for the debates was blatantly arrogant. As a person comparable to Mr. Obama's age, I feel I know what I need to know about her, yet know nothing of real substance about his past affiliatio­ns,fratern­izations and accomplish­ments---th­is is not for lack of trying---it just seems as though the media is not asking the tough questions of him because they are afraid of being percieved as racist. Please Whoopie reach out to him over the airwaves and urge him to participate in this very relevant and crucial debating process. Thank you! Melissa S.

[JenKinFL]

Dear Melann...

Thank you for your concern... There have already been 18 debates so far this Democratic Primary season. I would suggest that if you really want to know about Senator Obama's accomplishments that you are looking to the wrong forum if you try to glean such information from a debate. The vapid commentators tend to prevent a meaningful exchange on the issues. This would especially be true of a debate on Fox.

Should you truly choose to learn more about the accomplishments of either Senator, there exist many valuable resources on the World Wide Web.

Might I suggest starting with Google and going from there?

[Lalo]

No, he's not afraid! He can make a beautiful speech anywhere, no need for teleprompters! See the light and join the MOVEMENT!

[kennedy]

There has been only one debate between Hillary and Obama. One, with just the two of them. Either Obama can debate like a real man or go home. Americans want to hear the issues.

[melann830]

Dear JenKinFl

In these "debate" the tough questions have not been asked of Mr. Obama. Also, the media has been blatantly antagonistic toward Mrs. Clinton. Furthermore, googling for factual information on Mr. Obama doesn't necessarily provide all of the answers. It lets you know what has been made available, not what is necessarily factual.

[CindyV]

And Hillary won most, if not all, the debates. Her grasp of the issues and the depth of her knowledge, shows she is the best person to be president.

[jeffhas]

Yes friends... by all means, please google...

Start with Obama and Rezko to learn of how he was able to swing a purchase of his 1.6 million dollar home with the help of a 'friend'(who happens to be under indictment­)... or google Obama and Alice Parker, to learn how a crafty politician sues to keep a competitor off the ballot in a no-holds barred backstabbing event.... OR you could google Obama and No-PAC money pledge to learn how the lie of omission takes shape, and Obama actually takes the money.

All of these things are no worse (maybe less) than Hillary has done, but she's not running around pretending to be 'a different kind of politician­'... Mr perfect is not so.

Any politician who pretends not to be a politician, and does the kinds of things we are used to from a politician­... is a charlatan.

At least with Hillary, you know what you are getting... a hard-working and maybe craven politician that will fight to the bitter end to win. She will read every poll, and make certain she does what the American people want to secure her legacy.

[Macready]

this is a non-story . .. what about hillary's Iraq war vote and her vote against banning landmines and cluster bombs Whoopi?

[JimK2]

AUMF was a firewall to stop and divert Bush from a fall (pre congressional elections) attack (liberation of) on Baghdad.

The US campaign to change the Iraqi regime started at end-July (2002), quietly, step-by-step, without a war declaration, without congressional approval and without much noise.

THE NATION 12-02-2002: In general, antiwar forces in the United States and around the world can claim the recent UN resolution as a partial victory. The resolution does not endorse the use of force; it redefines the Iraq crisis, at least in the international arena, as one of disarmament, not regime change; and it will at least delay a US attack. It provides a powerful tool to fight for US accountability to multilateralism and the UN. But it still reflects the heavy-handed domination of the UN and the rest of the world by the United States and ultimately sets the terms for war.

The real victory lies in the fact that the Bush Administration felt it necessary to go to the UN at all. Only last summer the Pentagon's "chickenhawks" appeared to have derailed any UN-based strategy for Iraq. But the Joint Chiefs of Staff remained skeptical of war; polls showed less than a quarter of Americans supported attacking Iraq without the UN; and hundreds of thousands of protesters filled the streets. Washington's closest allies, from Germany to Mexico and even Tony Blair's own Labour Party, railed against growing US unilateralism. The superhawks didn't want this resolution, but they lost.

Whoopi is an idiot then. Hillary gets donations from Indian companies who push for outsourcing of U.S. jobs. Does anyone actually think Hillary will make it harder for companies to send jobs overseas?

[SethBLiNK]

Okay, so Whoopi wakes up one morning and announces that she will give her vote to the first candidate who finally addresses this ignored issue, even though both candidates have been addressing it for months.

She first hears Obama say it, and says she's going to vote for him, and then finds out that Hillary has been saying it for months (so has Barack) and decides instead that she will switch to her.

Because of this one issue... on which they both seemingly agree... and on which Whoopi cares so much that she was oblivious to the fact that both have repeatedly stated their views publicly.

I don't get, was it too much work to just flip a coin?

[HowietheScreamer]

Pssst... ratings. It's all about ratings. Whoopi and Barbra Wawa are just doing the bidding of their corporate masters to UP ratings. Sheesh, it's not like it's not obvious.

[momorune]

Whoopi, have you ever heard of NAFTA? Or is it just that you're hoping to keep your job by avoiding the Barbara Walters slap-down? Lord. This IS embarrassing.
