Nope, it’s not Michelle. Unfortunately, it’s actually President Barack Obama who will be making an appearance on The View. Michelle Obama would be plenty acceptable to interview and she actually could even be offered a permanent spot by the time the episode wraps. Anyway, Barack Obama will be the first current president to appear on the daytime talk show and will be recording a pre-taped interview with the five completely irrational women on Wednesday.
The hogwash interview will include topics such as his celebrity sponsors administration’s accomplishments, magazine/tabloid covers jobs, most powerful celebrity couples the economy, James Cameron’s advice the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and of course his friendship with Oprah family life in the White House. Because that’s what is most important. It’s not important that he’s the President of the United States and likely has other things on his check list to be working on instead of flying Air Force One to New York City and wasting our time and his on a daytime talk show that nobody watches anyhow. It’s a beautiful thing.
You can be sure the ladies of The View are all ecstatic about the presidential visit with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The show is usually focused around tabloid headlines and celebrity promotional interviews. Like the time Obama went on the show in 2004 to promote his book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” What did he inherit? A green card … citizenship? Interesting.
The democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, expressed his opinion that The View may not be an appropriate forum for the sitting president of the United States. “I think the president should be accessible, should answer questions that are pre-screened, but I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency.” Well, that all went out the window ages ago on late night television. So Randell suggests, “If I was advising President Obama, I’d say do as much ad hoc as you can do,” adding, “He doesn’t have to be scripted, he doesn’t have to be telepromptered.” And he may as well throw back a beer bong while he’s off the clock.
Does anyone else find it incredibly annoying how the world and the media have transformed the president into a baseball statistic? Every time President Obama pops up somewhere he’s making some sort of historical record. For example, “Today, the President will make history on The View.” Next time Obama’s going to wear a purple shirt instead of a white shirt and the headline will be “Today, the President will make history on The View. He’s never worn a purple shirt on The View ever before.” Spare me.
The White House spokesman Robert Gibbs explained, “Look, I think it is another opportunity for the president to talk to people where they are. We made a decision to put the president on Jay Leno, David Letterman, The View, because that’s where — people have busy lives and it’s best to go where they are. And I think that’s what the president will do tomorrow.” Or, maybe he’ll do a stand-up comedy act about his dwindling approval ratings? Because that’s a winner EVERY time. Will somebody watch this and let us know what happens … apparently unlike our president, we have work to do.

The father of Sarah Palin’s grandson, Levi Johnston, is hard at work making amends with baby mama, Bristol, as well as the entire Palin family. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Levi says, “Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he continued, “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”
What? Is he running for governor? Levi could not have sounded more like a politician in that statement. In the past, the former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, and Levi were in a war of words, but now Johnston has admitted he has grown up and wants to make things right with his son’s grandparents.
Bristol Palin added, “Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.”
In Johnston’s public apology to the family, he says, “So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion. I hope one day to restore your trust.”

Say it isn’t so! Who would’ve thought after the Clinton/Gore era, Bill and Hilary Clinton would reconcile infidelity yet Al and Tipper Gore would split after 40 years of marriage. The Gores confirmed their split via and email to Politico.
The future ex-couple made a joint statement, “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.” After a 40 year union, wouldn’t you just go your separate ways and not even bother putting your energy into a divorce? Seriously, think of how long it would take to reach an agreement with 40 years of crap together. They’ll be dead before a settlement is made.
And where do you go after being with someone for 40 years? It is possible either Mr. or Mrs. has kindled another flame. Why else would you separate at their age after that long of a marriage? Any thoughts?

Dear Los Angeles,
Buy flashlights!
Best Regards,
Arizona
When Arizona Governor, Janet Brewer, signed the new immigration bill mandating authorities to determine whether a person is in the United States legally, there was an eruption of international controversy. While protesters are claiming the bill promotes racial profiling, supporters reason the bill’s assistance to decrease local crime rates.
The new immigration bill is expected to activate in July. As a way of protesting, the city of Los Angeles has threatened to “boycott” Arizona, which in turn could cost Arizona millions. However, L.A. should consider the repercussions of a “boycott” before they actually pull the plug. Because Arizona is happy to LITERALLY pull the plug on L.A.
The Arizona Corporation Commission oversees the state’s water and electric utilities, and has offered to accommodate LA, and cut off electricity to 25% of the city. Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce wrote a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaradigosa saying, “If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives power from Arizona-based generation,” Pierce continued, “I am confident that Arizona’s utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands.” Pierce’s letter was in response to the L.A. city council’s decision, on May 12, to boycott the state of Arizona.
Pierce’s spokesperson told CNNMoney.com, “It’s not a threat. It’s just pointing out the ramification of what L.A.’s threat would be on the boycott. If they carry out their threat to boycott Arizona, that includes 25% of their power.”
Politicians, mostly lefties, are at odds with the recent immigration commotion and saying all sort of nonsense like Senator Schumer, “You cannot pass an immigration bill unless you have bipartisan support,” the New York Democrat continued, “Right now we are unable to have a single Republican to come with us to the table to negotiate a bipartisan bill.” Oh! Is that a violin I hear playing? But it’s okay for a federal health care bill to pass without a single conservative vote? Bad news Senator, Arizona is a Red State, not a swing state. And more bad news; Arizona’s immigration bill has nearly three times the approval rating compared to President Obama’s ‘Immigration Reform.’ Cry me the Rio Grande, build a wall, and try to get over it. Oh! And don’t forget your passport!

A new strict Arizona law was passed on Friday that allows law enforcement to question members of the public in which they suspect could be living in the states illegally. It also requires immigrants to carry their documentation with them at all times, proving that they are legal in the states. President Obama called the law “misguided.” Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed “misguided” Senate Bill 1070 just hours later.
State Senator Russel Pearce said, “States have the inherent right to enforce the laws of our country. Arizona will set the pace. We are a nation of laws. We will lead the charge in Arizona to defend the U.S. Constitution. Arizona will do away with sanctuary cities and the sanctuary state. We want to let law enforcement do its job. We can’t continue with weak-kneed politicians.”
Many people are speaking out about this new measure. Including Puerto Rican pop singer, Ricky Martin. The Latin singer turned to Twitter, he tweeted: “Equality is understanding that we all come from the same place. Racial profiling should never be tolerated, in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. We’re moving backwards. Scary.”
He was joined by comedian George Lopez who tweeted, “ARIZONA..George Lopez is coming..Oops..I just got pulled over..Apparently I fit the profile..Gacho!!” He later tweeted, “AZ announces the first Spray Tanning Shop that sprays you lighter “the casper”..Tougher to Profile.”
“The crackdown in ARIZONA continues..The New Taco Bell TORTADA has been outlawed .by GOV Jan Brewer..As a treat to the Colon”s of her people !” and, “The changing the name of PATRON to make it more ARIZONA friendly..Now..PAT RON.”
Oh,Lopez. You sure do have jokes!
Actress Eva Longoria Parker and Latina actress Jessica Alba joined the protest and re-tweeted both stars messages. Parker wrote, “The recent legislation in Arizona threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness.”
What do you think of the new law?

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, and when it comes to Bill Clinton and fidelity anything is possible and likely factual. But the National Enquirer has reported Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is telling her long time girlfriend pal, Martha Stewart, to step off and stay away from her husband, the former President Bill Clinton, better known as the second-ever impeached president.
Hillary Clinton has initiated a long whiney battle with Ms. Stewart, “Hillary is furious with Martha because she frequently drops by Bill’s office in New York City, and has also visited Bill at the Clinton’s home when Hillary is out of town,” says a close insider. Ever since Martha’s insider trading scandal, Hillary has abandoned her friendship with the super homemaker. Now Clinton feels Stewart is trying to get back at her, “This isn’t some young bimbo involved with Bill. It’s a powerful, wealthy woman - and one who despises her. Hillary feels this is a worse betrayal than many others.” You mean other than your husband shagging another woman in the White House?
This cat fight is hard to believe for two reasons: One- the source of the drama is from The National Enquirer, and two- after all, it doesn’t seem like Bill is on a very tight leash, nor would Hillary care what he chooses to do. However, if Billy and Martha are getting their groove on, he has done a lot worse. Martha’s a very wealthy and accomplished woman, which probably kills his wife, who’d give her left nut be half the woman Stewart is. This really is like a bad episode of a soap opera, except with old people. Gross!

What is reality television coming to?
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, has signed on with the Discovery Channel to host a reality show about the Last Frontier. Palin is an American politician, author, speaker, and political commentator, and now she can add reality television star to her list.
According to The Washington Post, the series in which Sarah Palin will be hosting has been picked up for a reported whopping one million dollars plus per episode. If that’s the truth, then this will be the most expensive made reality documentary to date.
The travel series, which will be produced by Mark Burnett, will feature Alaska’s ex-governor giving tours and participating in different activities such as fishing, to gold mining. The former Vice President will focus on the traditions, people, and the natural wonders of her home state. According to Variety, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska will center on interesting characters, traditions and attractions in the 49th state — with the ex-VP candidate as a guide.”
So what do you think, you excited to see what this new reality series is all about? Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into another self-proclaimed reality series similar to Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Sarah Palin has established her position as a celebrity more so than a politician ever since the culmination of the Presidential campaign in 2008. She is publicly criticized for her every move, yet she is still able to maintain a massive crowd of supporters including nearly 1.5 million fans on Facebook.
Yet this past Saturday, Palin gave a speech in Calgary where she revealed a piece of her childhood to the Canadian natives. Until Palin was five years-old, she lived in an Alaskan town, Skagway, near the border of the Canadian city, Whitehorse. Palin said, “Believe it or not, we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse… isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.”
That has to be one of the dumbest stories she has ever told in her entire life. Palin is utterly opposed to anything having to do with President Barack Obama’s health care bill, yet she received national health care from Canada as a child. Did she think if she told a group of Canadians, she could relate to them in a special way, and Americans would never find out?
Here’s the thing… that all happened in the 1960’s when she was in the care of her parents at a very young age. It would be a totally different story if she said, “My grandson had ’some little kid accident thing’ and we rushed him on a train over to Whitehorse for medical treatment.” The difference is how she was raised and how she lives her life now. Surely at the ripe age of 5 she didn’t have much say in where she received health care. Unless she was a very intuitive 5-year-old who strictly opposed going to Whitehorse because she didn’t believe in public health care (highly doubtful).
Regardless of any reason, call it opportunistic or hypocritical, when Sarah Palin makes a statement like that, she is just setting herself up to be publicly scorned. The reason is simple, she has previously suggested that Canada discontinue its public health care program and said President Obama’s instantaneous demand for American health care is “irresponsible.” The wheels fall off too often for Palin when she speaks publicly. As they do for many people, which only makes her human. But that’s a perfectly good reason for her to not be in office, and same with our President. The “I’m just like every other average American” doesn’t mean anything. I don’t want someone like me in office, then every Joe Schmoe would run for office if that’s the situation. It’s a waste of time, which is a luxury America does not have at this point.

Let’s begin with the nauseating statistic that our nation spends wastes $150 BILLION every year for treating obesity related health issues, and in most cases are preventable. This month, Michelle Obama has set forth in hopes of establishing her legacy for the “Let’s Move” campaign battling childhood obesity in our severely overweight country.
Are we beyond appropriate portion sizes, physical education, and couch potato syndrome? It seems the “normalcy” of over-eating has become too acceptable and available. Should restaurants begin cutting off obese children and adults from cleaning their plates, like a drunk at a bar?
Making headlines this week, a morbidly obese woman in Houston, TX fell in her home, making her way to the bathroom, and she broke her leg. The 38-year-old woman weighs in at approximately 400 pounds, and had to call for emergency help. Unfortunately due to her size, Houston firefighters were unable to remove her from her apartment through the hallway.
As a result, the rescue crew had to cut out a window and part of a wall from her second-floor apartment in order to provide medical treatment for the patient. It has been reported, her housing agency has recommended she move to a lower level of the building because of her “health concerns.” However, the woman explained her use for a wheelchair was only temporary.
Further details regarding the status of the woman’s health have not yet been made available. However, it has been reported her injuries required doctors to amputate her leg.

It has been confirmed, Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s nineteen-year old daughter, is set to make her Hollywood debut on ABC. Palin was pregnant with her son, out of wedlock, during her mother’s Republican Vice-President campaign back in 2008. The family has maintained their position in the tabloid spotlight ever since. After the birth of her son, Tripp, her baby daddy and ex-boyfriend, Levi Johnston, posed in the buff for Playgirl.
Forget the rest of the family run down, ABC announced this morning that Bristol Palin is set to grace her presence as herself in the ABC Family series “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” The episode is scheduled to air something this summer. Recently in the show, the main character, Amy’s, reaction to an unexpected pregnancy has been spotlighted on the show. Palin will be playing a supportive and consoling friend to Amy, according to the network.
Bristol says, “I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy.” Palin was eighteen years old when she gave birth to her son back in December 2008. At the time, Palin was actually engaged to Johnston, but since have split and now battle over child support. She has a lot of baggage for a nineteen year old, which apparently makes her an excellent addition to the cast of a family television show.
“Secret Life’s” executive producer stated, “We’re thrilled to have Bristol join us, and I think she will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we’ve been exploring for a couple seasons now.” Understandable, but understated as it is thought Palin has brought too much attention to teen parenting issues and her baby daddy is a porn star. Evidently, this is the desired new path for the show’s exploration.
