Will Smith -- I'm No Barack!

Posted Feb 6th 2007 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

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?

47. just because he is handsome doesn't make him president material. Look what happened with Clinton. He got voted in because he was HANDSOME!

49. I would like again to thank all of my supporters. I see a lot of people speaking out against RACISM and this is a good start. The RACIST crackers need to be weeded out and exposed. They can run but they can't hide, we will find you. This article is obviously RACIST because behind it is the hidden message that all African Americans look alike. The person who wrote this article is a closet RACIST and has now been exposed. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

50. Farrah, Once again you turned this into a racial issue.The meaning of this story is... Will Smith took this as a complement and he wanted to share it with everyone. Once again I have brought out the INjustices

51. Farrah, please seek counseling or try and get a life dear... not everything is a racial issue, you are so annoying!!! And all the people making racist comments are degenerates... these boards are just filled with idiots!!!

52. So funny how the truly, helplessly ignorant just JUMP at the chance to show it!!!! So busy hating that it oozes from their mouths every chance they get...sad lost causes, wasting away your lives. Spending most of your time in negative thoughts. Call blacks monkeys and ni**** all you want...as you wallow in hatred they still live, have fun and love....big lips, wide noses and all!!!! They continue to win!!!! Hate eats away at you life...the more you hate, the faster you die..spiritually that is.....what an empty, sad life.......FOOL. Nothing worse than an old fool, you all are headed that way!!!!
Tsk-Tsk

53. My comment is directed toward #1's comment. Excuse me, No where in the article does it state that the couple who made the comment were white people.
ALL white people DO NOT think all blacks look alike. get a life kid!

54. 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.

55. Will Smith is the only one of the 2 that is actually "'African-American" ( as in being born from black Americans).

56. Farrah has been exposed as Rusty on the postings. Just last week Puh De Baer exposed Party On Garth as Farrah also.

57. Both African American... Both have great smiles...Both ARTICULATE....

58. Good grief! I can't believe one or two people in here who are accusing everyone but themselves of being racist, while at the same time encouraging racism. I'm white and don't think they look alike at all! Will Smith is most definately better looking in a conventional way. Obama is ok but lacks that certain something. But hey, beauty or what an individual perceives as visually pleasing is in the eye of the beholder and naturally there is going to be different views. As for you persons that like to cause controversy or bad mouth others, get the log out of your eye before attempting to get the splinter out of someone else's, wisdom from God's word...:}

59. He kinda looks like Will Smith but not enough to where it counts...However...If you close your eyes and listen to Barack Obama talk...He sounds like Dewayne "The Rock" Johnson...And vice versa...

60. That's hilarious, totally laughable and preposterous that all black people look alike because even unmixed we come fair complected to dark as tar so whoever came up with that all black people look alike thing is just retarded because we come short and talk and all kinds of features.....there's blacks all over the world I mean lol....that statement is just all kinds of ridiculous.

Barack and Will Smith don't look a lick alike. smh.
