Actor Samuel L. Jackson put politics aside when casting his vote for Barack Obama in 2008 and made his decision based on race.
I voted for Barack because he was black. Cuz thats why other folks vote for other people because they look like them, the actor recently told Ebony magazine via Page Six. Thats American politics, pure and simple. (Obamas) message didnt mean (bleep) to me."
Jackson, who skipped the Oscars to campaign for Obama four years ago, expressed his disappointment in the president, complaining that in the end, hes a politician."
"I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do," Jackson said. "I know politicians say (bleep); they lie. Cuz they want to get elected.
Dropping the N-word many times, Jackson added, When it comes down to it, they wouldnt have elected a (bleep). Because, whats a (bleep)? A (bleep) is scary. Obama aint scary at all. (Bleeps) dont have beers at the White House. (Bleeps) dont let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call (him) a liar. A (bleep) would have stopped the meeting right there and said, Who the (bleep) said that? I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, cuz he aint gotta worry about getting re-elected.
