Whoopi Goldberg Blogs About Barack Obama’s Nomination

by Winnie McCarthy

View co-host Whoopi Goldberg has blogged about Barack Obama’s nomination as the Democratic candidate for president at the website “WowOWow.”

In the article she says that she thought that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton’s speeches at the convention were “extraordinary” and that she has to “tip her hat” to Hillary because during the campaign no one really asked out loud whether the attacks on her were “femophobic.”

Regarding criticisms of Barack, she wrote ” . . . it will be interesting to see if people can tell the truth — why they’re afraid of Barack Obama. . . Are they afraid because they think, “Oh, my goodness. I’ve seen black men in rap videos and how do I know he’s not going to turn into that?” I know that sounds silly but I’ve heard stranger things. I’ve heard John McCain say he’s not like us. Well, I don’t know how he’s different except that he’s black.”

The article was written Thursday morning, so she did not address Barack’s acceptance speech.

    Hi there, Whoopi!

    You expressed it so sincere & with great love & understanding regarding our President Barack Obama & his beautiful wife, Michelle & daughters.

    The man lost his grandmother, but WON the fight that so many racist & bigots like Elisabeth with her negative acts against him will not go unnoticed. He has stood fast to his beliefs, that WE understand.

    As long as she has hatred breathe in HER body nothing will ever change her.

    Also, the reason why her child knew who won the Presidentcy is because Elisabeth talked soooo…much about Obama (that backfired against her) that that’s the only name her child knew which Elisabeth couldn’t explain. I feel sorry for her child because of her mother’s hatred more than anything. It’s not just an opinion but a longtime past due expression of Elisabeth’s hate & she’s proud of it!!! That’s so sad. You’re 100+ correct, WHY try to explain something that HUSSY-BACK will NEVER understand nor care to.

    Elisabeth Hasselback’s true color came out & she does need education & eyesight on the ECONOMY/COUNTRY/LOVE!

    Elisabeth is a hypocrite from her heart-SHE MUST GO…LEAVE THE VIEW BEFORE GETTING FIRED, because Barbara WILL get rid of her, A.S.A.P.

    Hussy took the liberty to steal someone’s hubby, like Cindy McCain…how can you trust anyone like that?

    Elisabeth changes her mind depending upon who she’s for & likes…she did the same when the Palin girl got pregnant but differently when Britney’s sister became pregnant.

    Talk to ya’…Elle spelled the same forward & backward!
