Spike Lee Blasts President Obama on Oil Spill Response

"I don't know why Obama ever trusted these BP guys!" Lee said in an interview. fox news

Spike Lee takes President Obama to task for mishandling the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

"I don't know why Obama ever trusted these BP guys! They would lie to their mothers," Lee opines to GQ's Mark Healy. "[Former BP president Tony] Hayward does not give a [bleep]. The thing we don't talk about is that 11 Americans lost their lives and it took seven weeks to invite their families to the White House. I'm not trying to bash my man, but that's a long time."

Lee also blamed "environmental racism" for the slow response: "If this oil spill would have reached the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard [where Spike summers], Cape Cod, that [bleep] would have been fixed."

I guess Spikey didn't get the memo that the race card no longer plays.

How many lives are lost daily, Spike, to inner city crime and drugs?

Where’s your “outrage” over that?

He’s only criticizing Obama’s white half.

“I’m not trying to bash my man...”

The indisputable fact that a white guy could never be the in-your-face punk, Lee’s “man” says that he is nothing but an ignorant, hate-filled racist.

Hey, Spike, there’s no more racism in America, except when you speak.

Some one order some xanax for Spike. He needs to relax.

Could you see some white guy saying he doesn’t mean to ‘pick on my fellow white man’, but... This stuff is getting so old, so fast. Obama has his own black liberal, testical lockbox. You’ve given him your cojones, Spike. Go squeak in the corner.

I’ll respect Spike Lee’s opinion in this regard because unlike 0bama, he actually has real job experience.

Well, the professional African-American leftist intellectual set is having difficulty with this Presidency.

They like having Barack Obama as President, but they are worried that his election undermines their oft-repeated thesis that America is trapped in the viselike grip of "institutional racism."

So it suits their purposes to characterize him as a great statesman, but a statesman who is forced by the nature of American society to make compromises that a white President would not be forced to make.

His failures are not his fault: no man can shoulder the full burden of America's racist history and emerge intact.

Spike Lee is an imbecile and a racist.

Oh yeah, he's also a lousy writer and director.

Hey Spike, shut up and sing... uh, no, wait... just SHUT UP! @sshat.

Does the President invite the families of the victims of EVERY industrial accident to the White House?
