So you have someone who didn't support or vote for Mr. Obama in the last election saying he won't vote for him this time around? So. Where's the controversey or surprise in that? None exists. The man is entitled to his opinion. That someone here thinks Mr. Walker's opinion is defining or worthy of following ... should be the real controversey.

Wonder if the combined I.Q. of that line-up would hit triple digits?
Roseanne Barr and whoopie Goldberg , the intellectuals of the democratic party.

Who cares what this guy thinks. You posters with the "this black person isn't voting for Obama" stuff is pretty pathetic.

Also wanted to note that many of you talk about "black people" being all the same and getting handouts and having a horrible, violent, ignorant "black culture" yet you continuously keep trying to show some sort of, I can only think of the word "token" black. Very pathetic indeed.

FWIW, JJ is or was in a relationship with Ann Coulter so I hope this is not surprising for some of you. Also, he has been in other things since Good Times, I lived him as the grandfather in Chris Rock's sitcom "Everybody Hates Chris."

Never really liked Good Times, since I also think that it is quite a piece of bufoonery and that it was unrealistic of public housing life at Cabrini Green, especially in regards to the MANY times they had an opportunity to get out of the projects, but they never did. They used to **** me off actually, those stupid episodes.

I'm not sure why Mr. Walker's opinion is really relevant. Obama hasn't been the best president but he's better than "Buffalo Butt" Romney

Mr. Walker is black. Here on CD, whenever a black person critiques the President it's news. Nevermind the 45 million or so white folks that voted for him in 08 and will do the same in 12.

We elected the wrong black man for the job. Simple and simply true.
Reminds me of Thomas Sowell's great column from April 2008.

No doubt it is only a matter of time before there is a black president, just as it was only a matter of time before Paul Waner got his 3,000th hit.
The issue is whether we want to reach that landmark so badly that we are willing to overlook how questionably that landmark is reached.

Jimmie Walker is entitled to his own opinion --- as is everyone else. Not sure why someone felt it rated a thread, but evidently OP thought it did. Perhaps someone else can mention how Rick Santorum thought Romney was the worst republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama. Or the fact the Colin Powell, a very prominent republican, endorsed and voted for Obama in 2008.

On the other hand, who cares?

Jimmie Walker reminds you of Thomas Sowell?

Not sure if that's a compliment to Jimmie or an insult to Sowell.

Love him. Saw this interview. My mom laughed when I said "Dynnnooomite" she was surprised that I knew who he was, but said that she taught me well. LOL.

Does it take special tools to twist words that hard?
