Will Smith -- I'm No Barack!

Will Smith spoke today at the Motion Picture Association of America in Washington D.C. Mr. Smith told the crowd a hilarious story.
Barack Obama and Will Smith
It happened this morning on his way to the event. An older couple approached Smith and said, "We love what you're doing. You're so great for the country!" In true Hollywood fashion, Smith said, "Thank you!"

As the star walked away, the old man said, "And we'll be sure to vote for you."

Come to think of it, Will and Barack have never been seen together. Coincidence?

16. I was at the event where Will Smith made the remarks. He indicated that a speechwriter had given him that anecdote to use as the opening of his speech, which he did.. Smith entered the building trough a back entrance. Do you really think that on his way in he met a couple who gave him this great anecdote? He ended with a quote from Obama as well.

18. Obama is handsome as hell! More importantly I like his vision for America. He'lll make a great President..anything is better than what we have now. He had the foresight to see that Iraq was a HUGE mistake. Therefore I trust his judgment over the other candidates.

19. And all the people who said "yes, there is a resemblance" -- you've just outed yourselves, we know you're white. It's okay. Most of you look the same to us, too.

21. I just want to remind all my brothers and sisters that this is Black History Month. And, we have a lot to be proud of. Did you know that we invented fire, the wheel, farming/agriculture, and language. We basically laid down the foundation for all mankind. The RACIST crackers don't want you to know this of course because they want to dehumanize us and our race. Be proud of who you are and I encourage everyone to learn more about our culture and heritage. I will never stop my fight against RACISM! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

22. Wow, what a pathetic bunch of racists here. First of all, I'm a 20-something white female, and I do not think that all black people look alike, nor do all white people look alike, nor do all Asians look alive, and so on and so forth. I hear morons like you make comments like that and I swear, it seems as though MLK, Jr. died invane. Luckily, there are tons more people out there who AREN'T like you - who actually look beyond skin color and see the person within.

Secondly, Borack and Will look nothing alike, though I agree that they are both very attractive gentlemen.

And last but not least, before you make comments about how "democrats suck" and things of this nature....perhaps you should take a look at the Republican party and the lack of success they've had in the last 7 years - thanks, of course, to George W. Bush - Mr. "Don't mess with Texas" himself. Oh, and by the way, the Democrats run Congress now, so it doesn't really matter what any of you uptight Republicans think.

And one more thing....this country has a slightly larger majority of conservatives than liberals, so, that means that many of your conservative buddies went to the poll last November and voted liberal. What's that tell you about the confidence level of your party members??

23. smith and obama are both charismatic, attractive and "articulate." LOL. that's what they have in common. but physically, NAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, they do not look alike.

24. Obama is gonna be the next African American JFK. He's smart, articulate and uncorrupted. The republicans don't have anybody worth a sh*t running. A bunch of old, white, rich, crackers who are out of touch with our community. They only want to line their pockets with money from our sweat and hard work. We shall overcome the injustices of the past and put the first African American President in office. 2008 is our year to shine and we will not be denied our entitled victory. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE !!!!!

29. yes they look alike, both black, both ugly.

30. WHAT'S WITH THE DUMB, RACISTS REMARKS FROM BOTH SIDES ??

I believe it's really 1 person using different screen names. You're sooooo busted !

Anyhow, suggesting that any race of people look all alike is like suggesting that people who write into this blog all have an i.q. of over 70.

And for the record, Barack Obama's deceased mother is white and father is actually African. So can both sides just agree to chill-out. Love thy blogger.
