Well, If Barbara Walter's Says You're Sexy...

Barack Obama made an appearance on The View last Friday adding to the number of cable TV interviews and appearances he has up on Mrs. Clinton. (Remind me, again, how he beat Hillary to the punch on this one? It's The View for heavens sake!)

One might have expected the usual banter between hosts while the guest struggles to get a word in edgewise; however, this was not the case. Instead, the highly opinionated women of the morning talk-show were utterly silent as Obama basically gave mini-speech answers. Even the audience was quiet as Obama recapped the major topics such as the dead horse (aka: the Rev. Wright situation) and his health care plan. It was as if everyone was in a trance.

But of course, after Obama delivers a joke and a smile, the women snap out of it and revert to treating him like the average guest again by peppering him with ridiculous questions like "is it true you're related to Brad Pitt somehow?" or embarrassing statements like "well, you know, we all think you're very sexy". That last pearl of wisdom was delivered by none other than Barbara Walters herself. And as we all know, if Barbara thinks you're sexy...
