An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
I Always Did Like Her
I used to be a Law & Order fanatic. I’ve seen about every episode ever made. One of my favorite assistant D.A.’s was Angie Harmon’s character, which is why it made me smile when I read this…
Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.
“Here’s my problem with this, I’m just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. “But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate. If I’m going to disagree with my President, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.”
Speaking of dislikes, the starlet has also had enough of the double-standards in the media.
“I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience. I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ‘What is our president doing? How unclassy!’ But Obama does it and no one says anything,” Harmon said.
Finally, someone from Hollyweird speaks the truth. This is much of what is being said, but since most of us don’t have the forum that these “stars” have, it’s not being heard. Yet, if you are on some two-bit TV show, or even, in some cases a serious actor, the world listens. Which is why, perhaps, that I have lost whatever respect I may have had for these two
“The sort of criticism over the last couple of weeks is a bit unfounded, he’s been in office for barely any time and I think he inherited a lot on his plate and he’s doing a pretty remarkable job,” quipped Mandy Moore. “I think it’s cool that he went on Leno and I watched the “60 minutes” interview as well last week. The guy is just so articulate and he is so well versed in something that is so new to him and I think he has a good team around him. It sounds cliché, but he makes me feel proud to be an American.”
Debra Messing also told Tarts that our new President is not only meeting her expectations, but going far beyond.
“He is thoughtful and considerate and he gets all the information before he speaks which I think is a wonderful quality for the ruler of the free world to have,” she explained.
Okay, I never really had respect for them in the first place, but holy mackeral!! On what planet do they live? Thoughtful and considerate? Leader of the free world? The scary thing about that is that many folks are of that mindset. On the positive side, however, there are some who have had reality slap them in the face, and are starting to see what is REALLY happening. And Mandy, you’re right. He’s been in the office for barely any time…and look at the damage already.
