Does anyone watch The View? What the hay is Elizabeth's problem?

I definitely agree with you. Elizabeth has a serious problem and in my opinion has never liked Senator Obama. I understand her dedication and support for the Republican Party, however, when McCain introduced Palin to the world, Elizabeth lost her mind!

I've been watching, on & off, since the beginning, and no. Liz isn't an active or even aware racist; perhaps a guilt driven, unconscious one. She is well read, well traveled and, best I can tell, highly intelligent. She is stubbornly conservative, which often translates elitist, and yes I believe the idea of Obama in the WH frightens her, but I don't think her fear is as rooted in racism as in unspoken but well known white truths.

I think we're talking about guilt here. Though they put that revisionist nonsense in the "history" books and force feed it to us on the nightly news, these folks are not remotely confused as to the deceits, devisiveness, war-mongering, mayhem and murder they have perpetrated from the Mayflower until today. BO represents a shift in power, and therefore wealth, that has great potential to bring them to their long delayed comeuoance. It's not so much the man Barack as the potential for rebalancing they hate. All over the United States, people who are starving for change can't help wondering, if I vote for this man of hope, will black then treat white like white has treated black these hundreds of years. Will I be profiled, will my kids get the short end, and what about my job? If he's in power, will he bond with all the other colored folks around the world that scare us? Are our days on the stolen pedestal numbered and what happens to us if we suddenly are forced to play fair? Just Sayin

Michelle you have made a very valid point. I never seen it that way!

Thanks for the INSIGHT!!

I DVR the view daily, I love the hot topics and although Elizabeth is a bit abrupt she makes some valid points (not all the time) but when they were discussion the N-word. She said she would never use a word to describe herself negatively and wouln't want anyone else to use it against her, and Whoopi said she uses it but she doesn't know any. Well who is she talking to when she uses it? I won't say I don't like Elizabeth but I will say she has more guts than most to voice her opinions and stand by them(most times) on national TV. I believe she is afraid of change and OBAMA would be a change.
