DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Spike Lee told a crowd at the University of Dayton to "do the right thing" in this year's presidential election.

"We are living in some very exciting times," Lee said Monday. "And the months leading up to the election in November will determine which way this country is going to go; forward or backward. It's up to you to do the right thing."

3. Oh what a surprise...

Rolls eyes.

5. Why do you consider that a surprise, tbl...

I mean other than Spike Lee being an intelligent person, and Obama being the better candidate...

7. He's black!

Looks like I was mistaken in my response to that post.

I anticipate a very short stay for that poster.

8. Yeah we all know why he really endorsed Obama...

Psst (whispers in tbl92666's ear) "because hes a black guy right?"
(tbl92666 whispers back)"yeah, but dont tell anybody."

Are you for real? Maybe Spike Lee, accomplished and brilliant movie director / producer actually has a mind of his own and CHOSE to back the candidate that he feels will be best for America.

(monktonman whispers to tbl92666)" hey, dont look now but your bigotry is showing..."

On edit: welcome to DU tbl92666!

11. No he is supporting for Obama because he is black

I wasn't whispering it. 80% of blacks are voting Obama. It is a racial question for them. The fact that you suffer from liberal guilt doesn't make it any less a fact.

[JimGinPA]

12. Thank God You're Immune From That "Liberal Guilt"

:nuke:

[tbl92666]

14. Yep

I can't wait to see all the smug smiles fade from you Obama cultists, if he is elected and I'm proven right.

[JimGinPA]

16. Proven Right About What Exactly? nt

[tbl92666]

30. That he is no progressive

That he will be more of the same...or worse since we don't know a thing about him, really. And that all of you people are so stupid that you believe in platitudes like "hope" and "change" will get your just deserts when neither of those things occur.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. So you're judging Spike Lee based on his skin color, eh?

Hmm.

[tbl92666]

29. Yes

When 80% of persons of a certain color vote for a person of the same color, I think you can call that a statistically sound measure of future behavior by persons of that color.

32. Fascinating.

Sounds like eugenics.

28. Pay attention:

Prior to some clumsy and questionable moves by the Clinton campaign in December and early January, she had more AA support than Obama. They blew that support. And your suggestion that the only white people who would support him, are doing so out of "liberal guilt", is repugnant and speaks none too well of your own mindset.

[tbl92666]

31. What it speaks is the truth

Sorry you can't see it.

[damntexdem]

20. Don't strain them.

[Cha]

23. And what a surprise you have a comment

that's followed by rolly eyes.

4. Spike Lee slurs in 5... 4... 3...

:wow:

[cooolandrew]

13. Anyone out there that knows Spike he could help...

...How about a documentary called Barack the house. He has the cash he could distribute it iva the net.

25. Oh C'mon, Does He Have Like Any Influence Over Anybody? LOL

I mean, does anyone actually really care either way which candidate he supports? He's so like, 20 years ago and stuff LOL

[JimGinPA]

26. Yes, He Does...

He will be a huge asset in getting Obama's message out, in the GE especially. I can just imagine the kind of documentary about Obama he could produce for the campaign.

27. Okey Dokey Pokey. If You Say So!
