Will Smith on NBC Another “First Time” Statement
Smith told Lauer he plans to play the real-life role of public advocate for Barack Obama’s election this fall — saying he can already feel the mood of the world tilting toward America as a result of Obama’s campaign.
“I just came back from Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris, and I’ve been there quite a few times in the past five to 10 years,” Smith said. “It just hasn’t been a good thing to be American. And this is the first time since Barack has gotten the nomination that it was a good thing.”
“You know I just, there, there are, there are certain ideas that I believe Barack stands for that are fundamental that the forefathers of this country wrote down on paper that we’re all supposed to pay attention to, we’re not supposed to ignore it and do what we want to do ’cause we have different ideas.”
When Lauer jokingly asked Smith about joining Obama on the Democratic ticket, Smith said it’s all in the ears — he and Obama both have large ones! “America really has an ear fetish, so I think I definitely have the ears.”
