Almost afraid to ask, but has Bill Cosby weighed in on Obama?

I know he's been a bit devisive lately, thoguh I blame that on the mainly white MSM weighing in on a debate that Cosby wanted to have with his community.

I've loved Cosby since I was a kid, and went to sleep nightly listening to tapes of his stand up. I've disagreed with him at other points in history, and wasn't a huge fan of his show, but I still respect the man.

Has he expressed any opinion?

1. Good question ~ he swings in so many directions

and at times he is like a rough cannon. :crazy:

Don't know if he would be a blessing or a punishment.

2. I found this:

Asked to comment on the Barack Obama movement sweeping the nation, Cosby said the presidential candidate's achievement should serve as a testimony for black youth that education and hard work actually does pay off.

"The important thing is people need to show him in the classrooms, show him in the recreation centers, because there's a new player in town," Cosby told Bailey. "He's not dribbling a ball, he's not running the hundred meters, but he's talking and he's using what used to be a mantra, and that is education.

"He is someone that we need to use as an example for our children who are thinking about education not being a tool to move ahead in this world. This man can go anyplace he wants to go, with his education, his mind, his dedication, his work ethic. That's what our children need to see, need to believe in. It needs to be taught to them. It's better than making a lot of music, or, what is it, 'get rich or die trying.'"

Asked if his comments served as an endorsement of Obama, Cosby refused to answer.

"When I walk in the voting booth, that's me," he said. "I got one last thing to do, and it's my business. Even my wife doesn't know where I'm going."
