He's an Absurdity!' The View Hosts Spar Over LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt Comparing Himself to Barack Obama

The problem that I have with someone like Spencer Pratt throwing his hat into this particular ring as L.A. mayor, we're talking about a $14.9 billion budget for the city, Sunny Hostin said. It's the second-largest city budget in the country, and he is not qualified for it. And we see what happens when people are not qualified for their jobs! Hostin added, Spencer Pratt is now comparing himself to president [Barack] Obama, and he said, I have two awards from my community. President Obama didn't even have any awards when he was a community organizer. He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years.
