Walker was the poster boy for racial buffoonery and 30 years after his show was canceled he`s running his mouth. Maybe he wants to be one of those black folks that the GOP puts in the front seats at their convention every 4 years.

I wonder if he voted at all and who he thinks is the right guy. Sometimes it's what you DON'T say.
Not that I care what Jimmie Walker thinks but it seems like every time a celebrity or random black person goes on record as not voting for Obama it's going to get it's own thread.

I think team Romney should try to find as many celeb supporters as possible and put them out there. Yesterday I heard about a survey that found that more Americans know about the Tom/Katie divorce than about the SCOTUS ruling on ObamaCare.
I think this is an excellent rebuttal of the complaint about celebrities being used.
Obama has secret meetings with Hollywood and the entertainment industry all of the time - and he has no problem using their fame, fortune, time and talents for his own benefit.
Hmm well at least this thread wasn't about Morgan Freeman again. I think it's great...I don't know why people in Hollywood are even involved. Most don't live in the real world anyway. But Jimmie maybe more like you and I since I don't think he is famous.
I really don't care what color Obama is..so again the race card has to be played-
Don't care about the color of one's skin. But i can understand and see how in 08 most black people voted for Obama, that is understandable.
But 4 yrs later, most questions asked, are you truly better now then 4 yrs ago, are you having a easy time of it.
Has the change that has been bestowed you from Obama, help or hurt you. Do you still have your job, we know the true answer for many many Americans unemployed. Have you been able to buy a home, keep your home. We know those answers. College Grads, since graduating College, have you been able to find a job, we know those answers.
I probably would not have a problem with Obama, just too hang out, like Walker said, he is just not the right person for this job. Most people if honest, are not better off. Infact last night late late, the show i was watching, claimed again, since Obama has been President, we have more unemployed then ever, and more women unemployed, and more people on welfare. And more small children who are homeless. The guy said, we cannot go on like this.
Being known as a Welfare Nation, to me is nothing to be proud about.
I don't think any of us need the words from Jimmie Walker, to tell us what we already know, or any celebrity, who makes it seem like everything is just grand, guess what for them it is, so easy to say to everyone, things are going great. They are not the average joe.
Actually Obama fits right in with Hollywood, now in 0/12 can we please give him his wish!
I guess if the Conservatives trot out enough Black Americans that aren't supporters of President Obama it might somehow can people's mind.
Beside being a one-shot wonder in sit-com that is about 35 years old why does Jimmy Walker even matter?
Is that REALLY the best you can do?
Has he fattened up any in 35 years?
I oppose Obama, but I find this idiotic. If they had to go all the way down to a hasbeen comedian, who no one has seen in 35 years, there must not be many black celebs opposing the Big O. (Apologies to Oscar Robertson)
