1. walters could not have been more pro democrate in the interview if she had wore a obama t-shirt. such bias should be banned from all political interviews and the reporter bought to task for it including the network for allowing the bias to air. it's a shame in this time of polical currectness reporters are allow to blend the interviews to their political views and get away with it.

4. Barbara is not a reporter. The view is not a news show. It's a talk show for opinions. Would you go on Bill O'Reillys' show and expect to be treated fairly? If you show signs of intelligence, that is.

5. This interview is serious stuff! And it's all being exposed for the pack-of-lies that it is too.... Who better than TYT and The View to undertake the task to disseminate it to the electorate?
I thank karma that I can trust them.

6. GOOD FOR BARBARA WALTERS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED FROM REPORTERS--TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH. McCAIN & PALIN THINK THAT IF THEY TELL A LIE OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT WILL MAKE IT TRUE. SARAH PALIN LOVES PET PROJECTS, KEPT THE MONEY FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, THIS YEAR ALONE HAS ASKED FOR $200 MILLION IN EAR MARKS, AND HAS CHARGED ALASKA THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR LIVING IN HER OWN HOME IN ADDITION TO CHARGING THE STATE THOUSANDS MORE FOR FLYING HER FAMILY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SHE DOES NOT REPRESENT CHANGE. SHE LIES AND WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN WASHINGTON.

Do you forget that Presidential candidate McCain has been against earmarks-pork barrel projects. Or did you forget Obama was in favor of the recent $307 Bil Farm Bill that McCain was against because of the Billions of Pork included in the Bill?
Have you noticed Palin is running for VP, not President?
But since you are concerned about earmarks Palin got for Alaska and base your arguement from your EDITED youtube story, here is an article from the
Times of London, that speaks it's voice on Obama's false promises.
"The essential problem coming to light is a profound disconnect between the Barack Obama of the candidate's speeches, and the Barack Obama who has actually been in politics for the past decade or so.
Speechmaker Obama has built his campaign on the promise of reform, the need to change the culture of American political life, to take on the special interests that undermine government's effectiveness and erode trust in the system itself,
Politician Obama rose through a Chicago machine that is notoriously the most corrupt in the country. As David Freddoso writes in a brilliantly cogent and measured book, The Case Against Barack Obama, the angel of deliverance from the old politics functioned like an old-time Democratic pol in Illinois. He refused repeatedly to side with those lonely voices that sought to challenge the old corrupt ways of the ruling party.
Speechmaker Obama talks about an era of bipartisanship, He speaks powerfully about the destructive politics of red and blue states.
Politician Obama has toed his party's line more reliably than almost any other Democrat in US politics. He has a near-perfect record of voting with his side. He has the most solidly left-wing voting history in the Senate. His one act of bipartisanship, a transparency bill co-sponsored with a Republican senator, was backed by everybody on both sides of the aisle. He has never challenged his party's line on any issue of substance.
Speechmaker Obama talks a lot about finding ways to move beyond the bloody battlegrounds of the “culture wars” in America; the urgent need to establish consensus on the emotive issue of abortion.
Politician Obama's support for abortion rights is the most extreme of any Democratic senator. In the Illinois legislature he refused to join Democrats and Republicans in supporting a Bill that would require doctors to provide medical care for babies who survived abortions. No one in the Senate - not the arch feminist Hillary Clinton nor the superliberal Edward Kennedy - opposed this same humane measure.
Here's the real problem with Mr Obama: the jarring gap between his promises of change and his status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man's stirring rhetoric and the dull, familiar prose of his political record.
It's been remarked that the biggest difference between Americans and Europeans is religion: ignorant Americans cling to faith; enlightened Europeans long ago embraced the liberating power of reason. Yet here's an odd thing about this election. Europeans are asking Americans to take a leap of faith, to break the chains of empiricism and embrace the possibility of the imagination.
The fact is that a vote for Mr Obama demands uncritical subservience to the irrational, anti-empirical proposition that the past holds no clues about the future, that promise is wholly detached from experience. The second-greatest story ever told, perhaps."

8. Feddoso book has already been shown to be a pack of lies & subsidized by Swift Boat billionaires. So get to facts and not propaganda. McCain's campaign has been racist, sexist and more importantly stupid. He has not talked about the economy, the war, the budget or his role in weakening the economy with Phil Gramm his economic advisor in the GOP remake of the banking laws in the late 90s. Palin's a sideshow in a sad carnival.

9. Palin is a viscious pit bull with lipstick. She has no place in the White House. This nation does not need a closed minded, smiling-she devil, redneck in the White House representing this country!

10. As I watched the video clip, I was reminded of the republicans motto of: We Believe, Not Getting Caught In A Lie Is The Same As Telling The Truth.
