Barbara Walters used to be a professional who could face people, look them in the eye and interview them with some degree of intelligence and respect.

On September 13, 2008 during The View, Walters went “WA-WA” on John McCain, interrupting, turning her cold shoulder to him and failing to look him in the eye while attacking his selection of Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate.

See the YouTube replay here.

iVoteAmerica doesn’t care about The View and how it chooses to execute its program and John McCain is a big boy who should be able to hold up to the women who host The View.

You Just think it’s the Economy

What we do want our readers to note is that the division among American women over the selection of Sarah Palin continues to be “THE STORY” of this election.

There are still many on the left side of the political spectrum that think Barack Obama’s selection of Joseph Biden, although a good one, was not the optimal selection.

John McCain’s announcement that Sarah Palin, a relative unknown on the national political playing field has only served to refuel the controversy and make us all wonder about where the Obama campaign might be if the button has Obama/Clinton on them rather than Obama/Biden.

This is the “Hillary Factor” and its full impact, if any, will not be known until after the General Election.

Bill Clinton is still the man! He’s still the man from Hope! He remains, without a doubt, the sole patriarch of the Democratic Party.

His endorsement of Barack Obama last night, was sincere and signaled a humble acknowledgement that the torch is going to be passed from the Clintons to Obama on Thursday night.

He was clear and precise, “…vote for Barack Obama…” He was articulate and in complete command of the facts surrounding all of the major national and domestic issues confronting America. He demonstrated the courage of a statesman and the humility that comes to one who has experienced so much.

Bill Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, August 27, 2007, demonstrates many things, none of which have anything to do with his support of Barack Obama.

William Jefferson Clinton could give a speech feigning endorsement of Ronald Reagan and some people would applaud in support. His lip biting (pun intentional) coronation of Obama is necessary, difficult as it was, in order to close the book and set up Hillary for the 2012 election.

All one needed to do was following CNN’s constant panning of the faces of Hillary and Chelsea to get a feel for the dismal frustration they were feeling. One only needed to examine the facial expressions of daughter Chelsea and wife Hillary to know, without doubt, that this was truly one of the most painful political endorsements in recent history, perhaps of all time.

iVoteAmerica suspects this was Bill Clinton’s farewell speech, wrapped in accolades for Obama. We won’t be seeing Bill on the stump…nor Hillary…nor, Chelsea. They’re simply going to be booked through November…end of story.
