Michelle Obama was guest co-host this morning on ABC's The View.
It was her first appearance on the show. The other hosts -- well, those
who didn't burst into tears (more on that in a sec.) -- we're visibly
thrilled to have her on.
So there was fist bumping, and Matthew Broderick interviewing, and Laura Bush-praising.
But, for those with a love/hate thing for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the
show was ultimately disappointing. No meltdowns, no cat fights, no
pro-Iraq War diatribes, no talk of the Democratic candidate being "not brilliant."
However, ABC News reports behind the scenes that Hasselbeck cried hard between segments:
At one point during the show's commercial break, Elisabeth Hasselbeck,
the most conservative of the co-hosts, burst into tears while talking
about how she was about to leave her new baby alone for the first time
since his birth.
Sitting on the couch, Obama noticed Hasselbeck was trying to compose herself and asked Sherri Shepherd if she was okay.
Hasselbeck, who supports the Iraq war and spoke at the 2004
Republican Convention, grilled Barack Obama during his appearance in
March over his association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
During Wednesday's show, Hasselbeck said it was ridiculous for
people to anticipate a "girl fight" between herself and Michelle Obama.
"We must be enemies because we disagree politically?" Hasselbeck asked rhetorically.
On the air, Obama said of Hasselbeck: "This girl is solid, she's got great kids, she's funny."
