As a co-host of ABC's daytime chatfest "The View," Elisabeth Hasselbeck has long been known as the conservative firebrand of the show, willing to butt heads with her fellow co-hosts on issues including taxes and abortion. But Hasselbeck, who campaigned with Sarah Palin in '08, insists that she's been misunderstood, saying in a recent interview that she regards President Barack Obama as an "incredibly cool guy" and parts company with conservative culture warriors on the charged issues of gay marriage and abortion rights. On the latter front, she says she's "torn"; she offers fairly unequivocal support on the controversial question of same-sex unions.
In an interview with Fancast's Adam Buckman, Hasselbeck insists she's not "ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue." "I actually support gay marriage," she says, an admission that puts her to the left of Obama...

She’s sinking fast.
All of the women on that show are dolts. She annoys me.
Cmon she’s been beaten down for years on that show of liberal magpies. Like we don’t see this happen in Congress to our conservatives over the years? Many succumb and just start caving.
Too bad. Oh well. Obviously these issues aren’t a big deal to her if these are the ones she’s gone liberal on.
Amazing how the pull in Hollywood and Washington is. Too bad I liked her. Its all progression I guess
Political correctness will ruin you every time you try it.
She has caught “Bird-brain flu” from the other hosts.
I would lose IQ points if I had to sit down with those dolts every day.

I don't think she'd claim to be ultra-ultra bright, either.
Her brain has shrunk from being around those leftist loons.
I agree. She is annoying.
Dang, I used to like her too. It’s probably just easier for her to exist if she says that, I wonder if she really believes it?
She’s a weak conservative voice, but I suppose that’s what Babs & Co want. Put the big mouths Whoopi and Joy Behar (and Rosie O) to represent the left, and this poor debater mouse to represent us. Now she’s agreeing with the other side and sucking up to zero. Should rename the show to The One View.
And Obamah is a Too Cool Fool !!
Lie down with dogs and you’ll get fleas.
Yes, she needs them, and quick, b4its2late... LOL.
Exactly. You can’t wallow in the sewer (The View) for years and years and not come out with $hit all over you.
“Incredibly cool”?
I’d rather just settle for someone who knows what the hell he’s doing!
