I was watching it-I know she likes Obama and all, but she said something that struck me as insulting to the Obama family as well as all the Americans who voted for them. It was something to the effect that "Look at that beautiful perfect family-if they weren't so beautiful, so educated, smooth, well spoken, so well dressed etc etc, there is NO way he would ever have been elected."
I didn't even VOTE for Obama and that just struck me as racist. Am I being hypersensitive? What do you think if you saw the show?
Anyone watch Joy Behar on "The View" today? Racist or am I dreaming?

Joy is full of herself. She is a democrat full and full and has a hatred for G. Bush. Her first choice was Hillary but that was not meant to be so she voted for her party-it just happened to be Obama.

Sigh. I guess we have something still to prove here;) Good argument for being an active citizen.

For those who say Joy Behar is only telling the truth...okay, perhaps she is. But tell me: what would the response have been if, say, Sarah Palin or (maybe) Bill O'Reilly had said exactly the same thing? Honestly.

"And Obama is a sexist, too."
Why do you say that?
As to the original post, I agree with LDH. Maybe that was Joy's roundabout way of acknowledging that if Obama preached abstinence and yet had a pregnant 17-year-old daughter, he would never have been nominated, let alone have won the Presidency. He and his family had to be pitch perfect in order to achieve this outcome.
