John Edwards and Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, were supposed to appear on yesterday’s “The View,” but boycotted the show instead – and Whoopi is unhappy.

The political pair were set to appear on “The View,” but backed out, saying they wanted to show their allegiance to the writers on strike. This didn’t sit well with “View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who told the audience, “It could have been handled differently. Because what they said made it look like we don’t care. We support the writers strike.”
