'The View' Rivals Fist Bump in Peace After Obama Win (Videos)

Here’s another sign of Barack Obama’s power to unite people.
Two "View" hosts that have gone head-to-head many days during this presidential election — conservative and John McCain supporter Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and liberal Obama supporter Joy Behar — shook hands and made up yesterday.
They even fist-bumped — sort of like what Obama and his wife Michelle did during his Democratic National Convention speech.
"I haven’t felt this good throughout this entire election process."
Of course, Behar couldn’t resist responding with: “Does this mean I was right all along?”
Hasselbeck threw her full support behind the president-elect, saying his election is “a victory for this country … That is what, as an American, I believe we should do."
Co-host Sherri Shepherd, who is black, broke down in tears when she told of how she explained what Obama’s win meant to her son. She said when she was young and wanted to be a comic and an actor, someone in her family told her to “go get a job in the post office, they don’t let people like us do that.”
Whoopi Goldberg says even though she always thought of herself as an American, after the results were in, she felt for the first time that she could put her suitcase down. Goldberg, one of our wOw contributors, also wrote a moving piece yesterday, explaining what Obama’s win meant to her. You can read it here.
