Samuel L. Jackson is a man of many words, most of which we can't print here. During a recent interview with Playboy Magazine, Jackson had a few choice words for the President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Samuel L. Jackson has always been one to speak his mind. So it's not surprising that he would call BS on someone during an interview. What is surprising, is who he called it on. The actor/pop cultural icon has long been a supporter of President Barack Obama. But during a recent interview, he had some rather unsupportive things to say. He responded to a question about the President dumbing down his language in order to reach a broader audience who might find intellectuals off putting, by telling Playboy Magazine:
"First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to 'relate.' Be a leader. Be f-----g presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say 'It ain’t' or 'What it be' to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f-----g conjugate.
This newfound criticism comes just a year after Jackson released a pro Obama campaign video during his 2012 election run against Mitt Romney. In the video Jackson tells urges the viewer to vote for Obama, by saying:
“We’re all on our own if Romney has his way. He’s against safety nets. If you fall, tough luck. So I strongly suggest you WAKE THE ---- Up!”
Jackson also donation $2,500 dollars to President Obama's reelection campaign in addition to the video support.
However Jackson did have some criticism left over for Obama's opposition:
"But with those Republicans, we’re now in a situation where even if he said, “I want to give you motherfuckers a raise,” they’d go, 'F--k you! We don’t want a raise!' I don’t know how we fix this bulls--t. How do we fix the fact that politicians aren’t trying to serve the people, they’re just trying to serve their party and their closed ideals? How do we find a way to say, 'You motherf----rs are fired because you’re not doing s--t about taking care of the country'?
He also took the opportunity to throw a little support down Hillary Clinton's way:
"If Hillary Clinton decides to run, she’s going to kick their fucking asses, and those motherf----rs would rather see the country go down in flames than let the times change. But as I tell my daughter, there was a time we would be in the streets about this s--t."
