Actress Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama
(Also there are more photos at my other post as well )
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."
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.
And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.
"I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me."
However Harmon is definitely in the Hollywood minority when it comes to her criticism of Obama as other lasses at the Latisse party were quick to advocate their unequivocal support

Wild Thing's comment........
The other day on the radio I heard Angie was asked about work and she said she has not had any since her statement about Obama during the campaign last year. She said it is ok but it is just part of what hapenes.

Seems like it's okay for them to pull the race card, but if we say we can't trust Obama, then we're the bad racists. Why is everyone coddling him? He's done nothing but make a big old mess that will take years to correct by a good solid conservative party. This man cannot be trusted! I'm with Angie on this one.

We shouldn't even have to be in the position of defending ourselves against this crappy race card stuff.
Same with the mob at the town halls stuff. It's a waste of time to keep having to defend that you are not some paid hack just because you don't agree with Zero.
OT but I've had a crush on her brother Mark since Flamingo Road tv show in the 70's/80's...even had a boyfriend that looked like him for awhile...lol...how shallow, right?

Angie Harmon is a pretty woman. Glad to hear about another conservative in Hollywood.
