Rest of the quote. Wow what an arrogant asshat...

“...Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America is enough.” He continued, “Just being who he is. You’re the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything he should be left alone… Of course we want to challenge him to do better. I felt Belafonte he just went about it wrong. Like the way he did it in the media, and then he big upped Bruce Springsteen or somebody. And it was like, ‘whoa,’ you just sent the wrong message all the way around…Bruce Springsteen is a great guy. You’re this Civil Rights activist and you just big upped the white guy against me in the white media. And I’m not saying that in a racial way. I’m just saying what it is. The fact of what it was. And that was just the wrong way to go about it.”

This is common. The celebrities are always being praised for caring just for showing up.

One of the facts not often known about so-called "celebs" is that many of them, despite their wealth, are consistently cheap-skates. Many of them are inundated with hundreds of personal appearance invitations to charity events and without fail the only ones they condescend to attend are the ones where they are comped with thousands of dollars of free products.

Celebrities, by and large, are out and out douchebags.
