What's Up With Sherri Sheperd on "The View"...?

Sherri Sheperd keeps bringing this up every time Mit Romeny's name comes up on the show; she wants him to explain the Mormon religion to her in a public speech and that strikes me as borderline ridiculous. Granted he's running for President but that doesn't make him responsible for educating Sherri on the Mormon religion. She says it's important for her to understand his religion because of her own faith and belief in Jesus. How does her need to understand, in this case the Mormon Church become Mit Romney's responsibility? News-flash -- Ms. Sheperd it's not up to him its up to you. I say, separation of Church and State. What's important is for Mr. Romney to explain how he'll respond in those areas of direct conflict that exist for a Mormon who also holds the office of President of the United States of America? It's just ridiculous that she thinks its up to Mr. Romney and not herself to educate her about his religion. She's constantly bringing up her faith and how it governs her decision making, which can be shall I we say, interesting sometimes! Where's her personal accountability in this scenario?
She doesn't need to explain her religion to us and she's a public figure. Granted he's running for President but his religion isn't a factor anymore that it is for any candidate, it's about upholding the separation of Church and State. Period. Beyond that one has to take responsibility for their own lack of knowledge and educate themselves, that is one of the many freedoms we as Americans enjoy every day of our lives. Get up and drink your orange juice Ms. Sheperd.




Sidebar: I think Sherri can be funny but I don't think she's a good fit for "The View." I'll take a pass. I hope ABC takes a pass when it's time to renew (what I hope is no more than a one year) contract too. Like I said Sherri can be funny but she's not a good fit for the old Star Jones chair. I'll talk about Whoopi Goldberg in a separate post but suffice it to say for now; fantastic choice and it's taken "The View" to a whole new place and it's a very good place! It's a place that's better say bye-bye to Ms. Sherry Sheperd.
