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:

Flip Flopping again Whoopi!

Are you related to Mitt Romney?

[inthecolour]

This is embarrassing.

[avicenna]

This is proof that joining that show scrambles the brain cells so critical thinking and decision-making skills evaporate into thin air.

[awb]

actually the first thing Hillary said ont his topic was "NAFTA"

Kinda makes you long for Rosie O'Donnell - at least she knew something about politics before she spoke

or maybe Chelsea's call to Whoopi is what did it

The VIEW lost any credibility when Meredith Viera left -- and now Meredith is muzzled on TODAY -- kind of a lose-lose for the viewers

Maybe why MORNING JOE is doing so well -- at least they have good conversations

[Ides]

That and Mika Brzezinski is hot when she bursts into Polish.

Yeah, I said it. I still fully respect her as a news journalist when Joe Scarborough isn't talking over her and pretending she isn't there.

[MNmommy]

Mika's preening and arrogance are getting harder to take as each day goes by.

[MNmommy]

Y'all are hilarious.

Hillary can't take any credit for her experience as First Lady, but you blame everything that passed under her husband's administration on her.

Whoopi didn't endorse anyone, she voted for Clinton. She stated why. Get over it.

[Nezua]

if clinton does not want to be tarred with the disastrous NAFTA brush, she should not talk about coming to the table with experience. when she speaks of the clintons' past rule, by necessity, this great horrible error in judgment that is still playing out in so many peoples' lives must be discussed.

Agree totally! Nothing Hillary or anyone says, true or false, will make us change our minds. We're inspired! Join the MOVEMENT!

Isn't she from CA? That means, she's already voted!

Hey Ann! I read all your posts. You are way too intelligent for the MOVEMENT! We don't want thinking people, cuz we're FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!

Actually, my point was: OMIGOD, are we going to hear now about all the endorsements that come after people vote?

I see it now. :)

[GarrettW]

This is ridiculous. Why would someone make an important decision like that over who said something first. If they both say it, who cares. A voters priorities should be what they will do when they become president not who was first. An issue that Hillary and Obama are the same on, should not be considered in making a decision.

I wish that the average voter would take a little more time to look into the elections more closely. They shouldn't vote if they can't make an informed decision.

[yummymaplesyrup]

You would love to make up Whoopi's mind for her, right? Guess she really really wanted to vote for Clinton the whole time.

Why would her decision be more informed if she had voted for Obama? If Clinton and Obama are on the same page on the issue you feel Obama should get her vote?

You say: "If they both say it, who cares"
Hello, you do.

Leader > follower.

How do you know Whoopie's not lying?

[anghiari]

all the women on the show are voting their vajaja...except Elizabeth and she's not allowed to say vajaja

[Ides]

Vajayjay's an Oprah term. And she's not voting her vajayjay.

[Lalo]

Of course she's lying! Isn't anyone who has something positive to say about Clinton a liar??

Who was it on the view who got slammed for making an endorsement? I don't mind knowing who Whoopi voted for. But I recall some controversy about this show and endorsements.

Oh well. It really isn't important. Just like this story!

[Jonni Rae]

Wo cares who she voted for? Maybe she is just jealous of Oprah. Maybe she is trying to stir up some controversy. It's for sure she does not know her issues if she thins Clinton will do a better job of stopping jobs from going overseas, when she and her husband created and pushed through NAFTA at the same time as they threw all the women and children off of welfare, with no daycare, job training of eduction. Harriet Wright Edelman called this an "abomination." I wonder does Whoppi know who she is?

[Jonni Rae]

Obama still took 40% of New York, her home state.

[nellie]

This shows how much both candidates are liked by so many people. And how people are making decisions based on very personal, very specific kinds of criteria. It explains why the polls are all over the place.

[Neaguy]

this is sweet

[howdydostu]

We gave "The View" a chance after watching Rosie as host for almost a year.
That "chance" lasted about a week with Whoopie as host. Now we've got more space on our tivo!
Imagine, one phone call from Chelsea and All these women go ga-ga!
It's easy for the ladies of The View to stick with the staus quo, the safe, the same old same old.
Us regular folks are gonna fight for REAL chane with Obama.
Later, ladies!

The three of them that count have been saying for weeks that it was a tough decision between the two.

[northcoast]

Whoopi's a Scorpio, secretive as hell. No surprise there.

Whoopi's a Scorpio, secretive as hell. No big surprise here.

NAFTA -- that's what Whoopi will see
