Sherri Shepherd Steps It Up On 'The View'

Have you heard of Sherri Shepherd, a co-host on the day time talk show The View? 

When Sherri first joined the team of ladies, she pretty much sat back and observed her surroundings. Every now and again she would give her opinion, but for the most part she just laughed and made announcements all while flashing that unique Sherri smile. 

But this season is different as Sherri, is beginning to express her own views more within the political realm as she did yesterday, when her co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, seemed to aggravate her during her usual ritual of Obama bashing.

Elisabeth brought up rumors of Senator Obama, allegedly having connections with men known for corrupt activity as she mentioned the names William Ayers and Tony Rezko, of the Annenberg foundation. 

Sherri interjected and stated that Senator McCain was in fact endorsed by Lorna Annenberg, and that "Everyone knows about the Annenberg foundation, so if it was really bad, then why would John McCain be involved as well?"

Moreover, Senator McCain's running mate Governor Sarah Palin and her husband Todd, are reportedly involved in an organization called The Alaska International Party, which has a mission of granting the state of Alaska a secession clause (segregating Alaska from America.) The organization states that it wishes to have its own oil and federal government. 

Veteran co-host to the show Joy Behar showed disgust over The Alaska International Party's mission while commenting, "How unpatriotic is that, that they want to separate from their own country?" 

It was great hearing Sherri voice her opinion on important political issues, and look forward to hearing more.
