Obama Tells 'The View' He's Not Invited to Chelsea Clinton's Wedding
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama, appearing on "The View," admitted that he was not invited to Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding -- but didn't mind at all, he told the five co-hosts of the daytime show, broadcast on Thursday. Asked by Sherri Shepherd if he was attending the wedding set for this weekend, Obama replied: "I am not going. It would be tough enough having one president at a wedding. You don't want two presidents at a wedding," what with all the Secret Service fuss. But show founder Barbara Walters -- returning to the show's couch for the first time since her heart surgery -- realized there ...
Gayle Haggard: Devoted or Delusional?
By Helena Andrews - Politics DailyWatching Gayle Haggard, the devoted wife of former evangelist mega star and admitted sexual immoralist Ted Haggard, on ABC's The View this morning I couldn't help but think one thing, Man this lady's got some guts! Or as we might put it around here at WomanUp, some serious big girl panties. There are many who might say Mrs. Haggard is more delusional that devoted. With Laura Bush as her best Facebook Celebrity Look-a-like, Gayle Haggard seems to be the perfect woman beside the man -- smart, demure when necessary, but oh so willing to give Oprah a peak into her sex life with "Pastor" Ted, who ...
Meghan McCain on The View: 'Kiss My Fat Ass!'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: Laura Ingraham Calls Meghan McCain 'Useful Idiot' and Deflects to ObamaSize is the hot topic these days, and it just got hotter. Fresh off of her column responding to Laura Ingraham's crack about her weight, Meghan McCain went on The View today, and echoed a defiant rallying cry that is sure to make all of the Sirs Mix-a-lot out there take notice:As I noted earlier, The Daily Beast is touting a study that extolls the virtues of fuller-figured women, and Meghan noted a backlash against catty weight-gain gossip in her column. She also pointed out that weight discrimination goes both ...
John McCain Terrified to Return to 'The View'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf you're a politician, what television interview do you fear the most? Back in the 70's and 80's the specter of answering Dan Rather's lacerating (some would say "obnoxious") questions was enough to keep some politicos awake at night. Before he passed away, Tim Russert mastered the art of the "gotcha" by scouring his guest's entire recorded spoken record for inconsistencies. FOX's Sean Hannity and Chris Wallace often boast about how certain elected officials (mostly liberals) seem too afraid to appear on their respective shows. And everybody knows that you'd better not turn up on Jim Lehrer's ...
Bill Clinton: Hillary Didn't Want to Be VP Anyway
By Liza Porteus Viana - Politics DailyNews flash: Hillary Clinton never wanted to be Barack Obama's No. 2.Many of us figured that out, knowing full well Hillary was in it to win it. But now even Bill is saying publicly that the New York senator never wanted to be Obama's running mate. He also has no idea if Obama opted not to pick Hillary because of any potential baggage called "Bill" she might bring into the White House with her. "Not really, she didn't," Clinton said in response to a question from host Barbara Walters on ABC's "The View" as to whether Hillary wanted to be on the ticket.Even though in June, soon after conceding ...
McCain Lies Snowballing
By David Knowles - Politics DailyEarlier today, on ABC's "The View," John McCain stated that, as Governor, Sarah Palin never took federal earmarks. Watch:Of course, that's just one more lie from the Arizona Senator, as the Associated Press quickly pointed out:Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Friday running mate Sarah Palin has never asked for money for lawmakers' pet projects as Alaska governor when in fact she has sought nearly $200 million in earmarks this year. Josh Marshall concurs, and points out that Palin also requested $256 million last year, adding:To give you some perspective, Palin herself ...
Videos of the Week - PUMA Powered Edition
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWelcome to an all-new Videos of the Week. I've been writing about PUMA all week (click here if you missed it), so it seemed natural to dedicate this week's VOTW to the passionate former Clinton supporters, and their wayward sister, The Anti PUMA.This is a surprisingly rich topic, but I also saved room for some new hilarity from Barely Political, more McCain madness, The Onion gets in on the values voter issue, and an outbreak of substance on The View.First up is a clip of a PUMA rally in San Francisco. I'm sure you would agree, aside from badly needing some chanting lessons, the PUMAs put on a ...
Videos of the Week -- The Return of Gore
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyWelcome to Videos of the week. I'm Jay Allbritton, filling in for Tommy Christopher who's on special assignment. Yesterday former Bush Administration Press Secretary Scott McClellan took his book tour to Congress. Republican Representative Steve King was waiting there to tell McClellan that he should just shut his mouth about the Bush administration. On Thursday Michelle Obama dropped in on the fine ladies over at The View. Obama says she's focused more on taking care of her kids than she is on the campaign and that she will have no input on the selection of Barack Obama's running mate. ...

By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyPresidential candidates suffer many slings and arrows on the campaign trail, for example live debates, hecklers and moist, unrelenting handshakes.And then there's 'The View.'On Friday, the Illinois Senator and Democratic front-runner (for now) will appear on a taped segment of the popular daytime chatfest in which a throng of dynamic and intelligent women--including Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and somebody named Joy Behar--grapple with the pressing issues of the day. Like, (a) why are we testing for radon? and (b) what is David Schwimmer up to these days?Senator Obama--sitting on a beige, ...
'The View' Ladies Get Catty on Chelsea C.
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyUPDATED below. For some undecided voters - especially famous ones - a personal phone call from the campaign seems to be in order.
