Angie Harmon Not Pleased With Obama & Definitely Not Pleased People View It As A Race Thing

Angie Harmon is not happy that Barack Obama is in the White House—but the actress wants to make it clear that her discontent has nothing to do with race.
“If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as president and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” says the brunette, best known for her role as an Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order.
“I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience,” she said.
“But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate,” Angie told FOX News’ Pop Tarts column on Monday.
“If I’m going to disagree with my president, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous,” she fumed.
“I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ‘What is our president doing? How unclassy!’ But Obama does it and no one says anything.”
Angie even believes Sarah Palin would have done a better job running the country than President Obama.
She says: “I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don’t stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she’s made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me.”
“I really think they’re afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the vice president, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the president. That didn’t make any sense to me.”
