Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. 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," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "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. 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."

Speaking of dislikes, the starlet has also had enough of the double-standards in the media.

"I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience. 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," Harmon said.

And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.

"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," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. 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."

However Harmon is definitely in the Hollywood minority when it comes to her criticism of Obama as other lasses at the Latisse party were quick to advocate their unequivocal support.

"The sort of criticism over the last couple of weeks is a bit unfounded, he's been in office for barely any time and I think he inherited a lot on his plate and he's doing a pretty remarkable job," quipped Mandy Moore. "I think it's cool that he went on Leno and I watched the "60 minutes" interview as well last week. The guy is just so articulate and he is so well versed in something that is so new to him and I think he has a good team around him. It sounds cliché, but he makes me feel proud to be an American."

Debra Messing also told Tarts that our new President is not only meeting her expectations, but going far beyond.

"He is thoughtful and considerate and he gets all the information before he speaks which I think is a wonderful quality for the ruler of the free world to have," she explained.

The ladies of "Entourage" certainly showed their Obama-loyalty too.

"It's not an over night process. It's going to get worse before it gets better; we're all kind of in the same boat now. Everybody's broke and everybody's struggling and he makes me feel like I know him and that I know Michelle and that they’re like us and they’re out to try to save the USA. It's just an amazing period to watch him take on these challenges and everyday in the news to hear about AIG or possibly global currency changing, it's incredible. He's facing big challenges and he's got a lot of support and I'm just praying things get better," Debi Mazar said, while co-star Perrey Reeves added that Obama is a "wonderful leader" and she’s looking forward to his future endeavors.

Doesn't this also work the other way around? Couldn't white people say Obama disagrees with them because he is racist?

In other words the entire argument is asinine and gutter politics by people who have no argument.

The Racists are the blacks that NEVER cared what the issue were,
just that Obama was Black. They only knew 2 things,
1. John McCain was the other choice
2. That Sarah Palin is the Anti-Christ!

There are tons of video of Obama supporters being questioned on the issues. NOT one knew anything! Even college students and just people on the streets had no clue. They are a bunch of uninformed people.
The first video is amazing to me.

Sounds like my old friend I have known since we were infants. A few months back we talked and I told her how sick I was of the idiot libs ruining my state....then the talk turned to Obama. Said she wanted "change", but she could not tell me what is was he would do for this "change". My opinion of her has dropped from a 7 down to about a 2 for being a kool aid drinker. In fact, I've barely spoken to her since. I have no respect for her anymore.

Sorry SicNtired, but differing political opinions shouldn't be a reason to drop your friend. Remember Bush being elected for 8 years? Talk about a bunch of republican kool-aid drinkers! Bush tricked you guys even though you should have known better. Now we have Obama. What is the difference? Just because your friend voted for someone that you don't like shouldn't mean that they are not your friend anymore.

I agree with you and I didn't say I dropped her as a friend - just that I lost a great deal of respect for her.

As far as what the difference between Bush and Obama....oh never mind.

I didn't vote, nor do I like, either one of the losers!

Voting for Obama is one thing, agreeing with his stupid, lame, America sinking ideas is another. I assume those friends have not done any homework. If someone just watches NBC, ABC, or CBS news they are uninformed, bordering on ignorant.

I'd say in about 6-months Bush will fade into the background as Obama ruins everything this country stands for, ruins our American lives and makes us all hostages in our own country. Hopefully he will get the hint at the G20 that not everyone likes him and many hate him. He's a power monger with corruption all thru his cabinet and an ego as big as his ears.

LOL!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. I'll have to use the ear=ego thing on my kool aid drinking friend! :P
