According to the report, "Obama's strong-willed wife Michelle has already poured water on a budding friendship between the presidential candidate and gorgeous actress Scarlett Johansson." Walker cites "sources" for the details of the report. Why didn't they just aske her this on "The View"?

Walker claims that when reports surfaced that Scarlett and the senator were exchanging e-mails, Obama's wife sprang into action to find out what was going on between them, divulged a campaign source.
