Bill Cosby campaigns for Obama

I can't tell you just how disappointed I am to read in today's Oakland Press (MI)that Cosby is campaigning for Obama in Michigan. I guess I just assumed that their values were polar opposites. The article that the link refers to is not nearly as comprehensive as the actual article that appears in the paper, but it's by the same writer and is the only article in the online edition. Cosby has three appearances scheduled in Michigan.

Race trumps values again.

The sooner we learn that, with a few commendable exceptions, race trumps everything in the black community, the better off we’ll all be. Look at JC Watts—a conservative in most matters. Very sad.

“It doesn’t make you a man to make a baby”

But don’t “punish” someone with a baby either.

Well,he’s lost all credibility with me,i’ll say that.
After the way he stood up and spoke at one of Jesse Jackson’s blabfests about the sad state of black america,I actually liked the guy.
He made sense!
No more.

I hope this isn’t the election that everyone’s values and beliefs are thrown out the window for the Cult of Personality.

That’s sad.

If Cosby was telling the truth about responsibility and family ... the Obomination pushes the opposite - right on down to infanticide.

It is BLACKS who have the most abortions.

First Andy Griffith, now Cosby. *sigh* I expected more from both of them. Shame.

JC’s backing Nobama? I didn’t know that.
That is disappointing!

Does anyone know who Joseph C. Phillips is supporting. He played the Naval Officer who was married to daughter Denise on the Cosby Show?

Like Colin Powell, some values are only skin deep.

Yep, I feared.

All those values he talks - all talk.

Turns out skin-color is deeper than skin-deep.

You all are surprised? Do some reading on Cosby; he is not saint of “diversity”; quite the opposite.

I guess he has changed his mind about individual responsibility.

Extremely disappointing. If the “one” should get elected, I for one will get great satisfaction watching these rich hollywood people lose even more of their wealth than they already have. More Ed McMahon foreclosures..... Stupid is as stupid does and they deserve whatever comes their way.

You’d never know it,judging by how many 24-year-old black women (or,I should say,babymommas) with 4 kids you see on Judge Judy.
