Obama Does "The View"

If ever the term "raping them with your eyes" applied anywhere, it definitely applies here. I sense a lot of built up sexual tension on that set.


Barack Obama is on The View today.

The presidential hopeful, who taped the interview earlier this week, chatted about a slew of topics, from those controversial remarks delivered by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor of 20 years, to his distant kinship to Brad Pitt.

Here are some highlights:


Obama on counting Brad Pitt as a distant cousin: “I guess we’re ninth cousins, something, removed – or something. I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool.”

Obama on handling possible Swift-boat-like attacks from the right: “You know, I’m a pretty tough – I’m skinny but I’m tough. I think that the way to handle attacks, wherever they’re coming from – and, you know, there’ve been some tough punches thrown in this Democratic primary … – the way I like to handle attacks is to answer honestly, swiftly, forcefully and truthfully. I think the truth is a powerful weapon.”

Obama on Rev. Jeremiah Wright: “It was a snippet of a man. I think he’s saddened by what’s happened, and I told him I feel badly that he has been characterized just in this one way – and people haven’t seen this broader aspect of him.” source


Just for laughs....
