| Samuel L. Jackson: 'Michelle Is Superwoman ... She Can Be the President' | |
| 2012-12-04 | |
Congressman James Clyburn, from South Carolina, also sees much promise in Michelle Obama. "I'd love to see her get more into politics because it would be a breath of fresh air in D.C.," Clyburn tells Newsweek. "She's honest and straightforward, which is not what you see in Washington much. She is exactly what we need around here." But a White House official tells the publication that the first lady doesn't have the "temperament" for the top spot in the land. "Michelle Obama doesn't have the temperament for the constant b.s. that goes on in D.C.," an anonymous aide tells Newsweek. "She watched her husband fight fights that he shouldn't have to. She's seen the ugly side of Washington up close and personal and has no interest in dealing with that firsthand. I think she knows there are other ways to impact the system from the outside in. She'll find those, but it won't be through public office. That's not who she is." | |

| #10 OK. Put Moochelle in the same category as Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton. Egotistical women with warped, socialist ideas who think they're just as good as any man but never would have gotten anywhere without their husbands. None too good looking either. Jackson is a weak man who gets all starry eyed whenever he meets a woman who has a little bit of power, whether she got it on her own or not. How pathetic. |

| #9 Germany and France had their cult of personalities decades ago. US had Kennedy who was close, but also decades ago. |

| #7 Talented, I can debate that. He has no range. Zero. Sammy Jackson has one character; he gets outside of that character, such as in Unbreakable, he stinks. In the jedi1-2-3, in what should have been an easy layup to stand out as a bright spot, he stunk. Think of a great quote from, well, what was his movie name? Damn near ruined Jackie Brown, and in fact Tarantino's success was Jackson's success. In fact, Bruce Willis' success (Die Hard 3) was SLJs success. He gets loud and cusses unabashingly. Without the script and the director to capture that just right, you get snakes on a plane. |

| #6 Really? Germany is part of the West. France is part of the West. |

| #5 Its really creepy to see a cult of personality in your own country, I thought the folks of the west were above that. |

| #3 I've lost all respect for Mr. Jackson. He is a twit. A charismatic and talented twit, but a twit none the less. |

| #2 Congressman James Clyburn, from South Carolina, also sees much promise in Michelle Obama. Unfortunately, no one has seen much "promise" in dull-witted James. |

| #1 Having through the years, gone to movies made by these Hollywood dingbats, for their acting skills, to bring a story alive, for my entertainment, I willing paid money to so. Just can't do it anymore. Samuel L Jackson is one of those... heck, he loved being in Star Wars..... Not such in the last 3-4 years.... can't do it... haven't done it... and this comment just drives the nail deeper. |
