‘The View’: Candace Cameron Bure Blasts Obama as ‘Calm Guy on the Titanic’ (Video)

“I’m sorry, I don’t think anything is sinking,” Whoopi Goldberg shoots back

President Barack Obama is often praised for his ability to keep a cool head even under the utmost pressure, but at least one person finds it more distressing than relaxing.

“I like calm, cool and collected, but … I feel like sometimes he’s the guy on the Titanic saying, ‘Stay calm, stay calm, everybody, just get into the boat’ while it’s sinking,” said “The View” co-host Candace Cameron Bure on Wednesday’s show.

The discussion came as Obama came under some fire for seeming calm during the growing battle with ISIS, especially after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Whoopi Goldberg didn’t appreciate the metaphor.

“I’m sorry, I don’t think anything is sinking,” Goldberg shot back, and also asked during the segment, “What should he do, should he be stomping around, yelling, screaming?”

Joy Behar and Raven-Symone also agreed that calm and collected was the correct response to crises, especially ones that involve the world and not just the U.S.

“The rest of the world needs to step up,” Goldberg said. “We’ve been taking heat, we’ve been in there getting our asses kicked, it is time for everybody else to step up.”
