Voted for Obama because...

Samuel L. Jackson I Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE'S BLACK...

Barack Obama's politics meant nothing to Samuel L. Jackson because the "Pulp Fiction" star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only ... because he's black.

In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, "I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me."

Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]. Because, what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected."

Smacks of ... Obama needs to Black it up.

Morgan Freeman on Obama: 'If I Could Vote for Him 1,000 Times, I Would'

This could well become Obama's path to re-election. Have his few remaining supporters vote a thousand times for him and he may just be able to pull out a squeaker.
When President Obama jumped on the back nine of the celebrity-clogged Vineyard Golf Club course on Sunday, he ran into none other than Morgan Freeman, Oscar winner and Obama backer.

Freeman, it turns out, was as free with advice for Obama as he was for Tim Robbins in “The Shawshank Redemption.” (POLITICO was holding outside the course in the pool van, told only that Obama was playing with his usual island foursome.)

But the deeply wired Boston Globe, invaluable for Vineyard gossip, caught up with Freeman at an event later in the day.

“What I wanted to tell him is to get pissed off, get fighting mad,” the actor told the paper. “But I know he won’t because he doesn’t think it’s politically smart.”

On Obama’s chances for reelection, Freeman added, “If I could vote for him 1,000 times, I would.”

“I think he’s been horribly sandbagged, and it makes me so angry,” he said.
Has Freeman been paying the slightest bit of attention? When is Obama not angry about everything?

How ironic is it to see two very wealthy and privileged men out playing golf at an exclusive club, yet whining about being angry.

The original item is buried at the end of this story in the Globe. You have to love their wry sense of humor.
On the third day of what’s shaping up to be a working vacation, President Obama remained mostly under wraps yesterday, spending the morning with his family at a private beach before hitting the links for a round of golf with friends.
So it's a working vacation, but he spent the day golfing and at the beach.

Way to strengthen every black stereotype ever, Samuel L.

I'm thinking Hollywood actors can be bought into voting, because we all know how they will do anything for a paycheck or a tax break.

I told to you it a while back, it was a communautarian vote and yet people you still didn't want to believe me. Now, you see who vote for Obama. Even the ghetto trash living in the bronx, watts, queens, compton and all the biggest shitholes of the USA vote for Daddy O because they are all unwilling to work parasites and leftists.

(Bleep)z are angry. They don't take shit.

People tend to vote for people that are more like them. Irish Americans tend to vote for people with an Irish surname. Italian Americans tend to vote for people with an Italian surname, etc.

Election statistics bear this out, all across the country and all up and down the ballot. Why is it only an issue with African-Americans?

 

[Mr_Balls]

I voted for him because I liked his foreign policy

 

[Hondarobot]

I didn't even know Obama was black until I read that. I thought he was just very tan because he was born in Hawaii.

Thanks Sam Jackson, I'm voting for the mutha fuckin (beep)! Mitt Romney just lost my vote!

:goodpost:

The only other choice was McCain, it was disgusting to have to make a choice for either candidate, the smart people didnt even bother voting, the really smart Americans left the country ages ago.

Here is exactly what Samuel L. Jackson said in Ebony magazine.

""When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a NI**ER. Because, what's a NI**ER?

A NI**ER is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. NI**ERS don't have beers at the NI**ER White House.

NI**ERS don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A NI**ER would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the f*ck said that?' I hope Obama gets SCARY in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected.

Imagine if it where a White person saying similar things about a White politician just because he was White, I think this huge double standard actually makes life in the USA more fun.


Dat Samuel L. Jackson be ignant, gnome sayin

 

[vodkazvictim]

I voted for Ivan Ilyich in 2004.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

Samuel Jackson, voted for Obama because Obama is black.

Now, what if I said; I voted for McCain because he was white.

I get the impression the black community would have a problem with my vote, because they would see it as me being a racist for not voting for Obama because he is black, but voting for McCain because he is white.

So I wonder, would anyone think Samuel Jackson is a racist because he voted for Obama strictly because of his color. Which could be interpreted as Jackson is a racist because McCain is white, so he voted for Obama because he is black.

:dunno:

This is so a non issue. How many people voted against Obama because he was black? In truth, we will probably never know. Like another poster said, people generally vote for those whom they have more in common with. How many Irish and Catholics voted for Kennedy? How many adulterers voted for Clinton's second term? At least Samuel L was telling the truth. Even better, he is probably not gonna come out later on and give some bullshit apology about what he said. Everyone knew blacks were gonna vote for Obama. Hell, had Obama not been black they would have still voted 95% democrat as they have been doing for nearly 50 years now. What I don't get is why people are stunned about it and why it's such an issue when black people do it and not any other ethnic group.
