If anyone was going to ruin Michelle Obama's appearance on The View last night, it was going to be Elisabeth Hasselbeck, right? After all, isn't it Hasselbeck who so has it in the bag for John McCain that she'd only welcome Michelle at an arm's length?
Wrong. America's Most Smartest Television Host Sherri Shepherd, instead, gets the award for running a smooth sailing aground.
Asked how she reacted when her husband told her he wanted to run for president of the United States, she said, "It's like, please, don't do this! I didn't want Barack to go into politics because I thought politics was a mean business. I knew this man that I loved, he was sweet, empathetic –"
"Did you just say 'pathetic'?" asked co-host Sherri Shepherd.
"Yeah, right, 'pathetic,' " Obama joked, adding, "empathetic, empathetic, empathetic," while Whoopi began to spell it out "E-M-P-A-T-H — ."

Sherri is an idiot! A disgrace to black women everywhere………..she does NOT need to be on a show like The View. A different wig, every day???????? c'mon…
Michelle should know better than to use big words. Shepherd was just a canary in the coalmine — if she's thinking it, you can guarantee that lots of other people are thinking it too.
Which is pathetic, I might add…
We'll, I'm just glad that Michelle wasn't attacked by that mean ol' awful "in the bag for John McCain" Hasselbeck!
Why, with only FIVE other "in the bag for Obama" girls around her, she might have got her feelings hurt!
For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of The View.
Hasselbeck knew better! She's dumb but not stupid. Onthe other hand,Sderri just needs to STFU!
American needs to get their heads out the SEX gutter!! Being a nudist, naturist, or experiencing the nudism lifestyle whether in your own home or with others is hardly a sexual thing. American needs to go back to the books and do some research on this issue and maybe experience it themselves prior to making a comment. The nudist lifestyle is a wonderful thing.. carefree and the feeling of being able to take all the worries of the working world away by striping your clothes off hardly implies sex. Do your research America!!
It was on this show or one shortly after that Sherri ruined by not being "ready." She appeared to come out late and then proceeded to awkwardly fiddle with her microphone and then of course annoying Elisabeth Hasselbeck just had to join in and the TWO OF THEM SAT THERE FUMBLING with Sherri's microphone for a loooooong time!
Not only is she stupid, she is totally unprofessional and not funny!
She ruined the Emmys too with her cheap opening comment about her girdle bothering her, her shrieking like a banchee and all her "girl" talk.
Sherri is just like the stereotypical black news person Whoopi was trying to describe to Michelle when she "thanked" Michelle for projecting a more decent image.
Sherri Shepherd needs to grow up and stay home with her obnoxious ill-behaved son "Jeffrey" and stay off the airwaves.
'dfsfl
I think Sherri should be fired. She is an embarrassment to black women and does not represent our views. I believe the execs at the view regret her but they have had so many scandals they choose not to fight this battle but she brings nothing to the table but a big grin and ignorance, she is not funny Whoppi funny, Joy funny but Sherri is not funny simply stereotypical. She has nothing to add to the table, as much as I dislike Elizabeth Hasselbeck (and I do)I can appreciate the fact she can hold her own Sherri cant when the going gets tough she simply tries to make a joke and its totally obvious she is getting off the subject,this woman appears to not have finished grammar school. Sherri is a total embarrassment when they did the segment with Martha Stewart and she was constantly eating (like a pig) I didnt think it was funny I thought it was a disgrace she makes all black women seem like stupid uneducated homophobic uninformed greedy christian freaks and for this African American Woman thats so far from the truth. GET RID OF HER
I think Sherri is an embarrassment to herself and her family. Like all races, each individual represent themselves and not the entire culture that they supposedly belong to. I could give many examples of people that are assigned to the typical socially created races but what will that prove? NOTHING.
I think Sherri's head is so empty and void of knowledge, that Elizabeth can easily persuade her to vote for John McCain, simply because he has choosen Sarah Palin as a running mate.
