Spike Lee Squeaks, Er, Speaks Out For Obama And The American Dream

Maybe someone can help me here.

I’m having a hard time understanding those who have lived the American dream, who’ve succeeded beyond their wildest dreams and have risen to riches that would have made an ancient king blush, a lifestyle that most humans - Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans, whatever - can only dream about, who still want to disparage the country and the progress that’s been made that’s right there in front of us every day and use the old tried and true race card to do it.

From an interview in New York magazine:

What do you think of Obama?

I’m riding my man Obama. I think he’s a visionary. Actually, Barack told me the first date he took Michelle to was Do the Right Thing. I said, “Thank God I made it. Otherwise you would have taken her to Soul Man. Michelle would have been like, ‘What’s wrong with this brother?’ ”

Does this mean you’re down on the Clintons?

The Clintons, man, they would lie on a stack of Bibles. Snipers? That’s not misspeaking; that’s some pure bullshit. I voted for Clinton twice, but that’s over with. These old black politicians say, “Ooh, Massuh Clinton was good to us, massuh hired a lot of us, massuh was good!” Hoo! Charlie Rangel, David Dinkins—they have to understand this is a new day. People ain’t feelin’ that stuff. It’s like a tide, and the people who get in the way are just gonna get swept out into the ocean.

I don’t really have a problem with some of the comments - the Clintons would rather climb a telephone pole and lie than to stand on the flat ground and tell the truth.

The problem I’m having is his bringing the “massuh” stuff into it. What’s the point in that?

Another Hollywood elitist squeaks.

A salute to Hot Air for this little piece of Hollywood tripe.
