6. He was my first favorite singer,

My dad was always playing him on our "record player". AND his politics have always consistent with progressive causes. He's a ten.

7. Not much of fan of Obama

so no surprise.

Doubt he will sway many AA voters:


Harry Belafonte on Obama:

During the Television Critics Association Press Tour, where he was promoting his upcoming HBO documentary "Sing Your Song," Belafonte told reporters, "Barack Obama and his mission has failed because it has lacked a certain kind of moral courage, a certain kind of moral vision that we are in need of." According to the Wall Street Journal, he later added, "There is still a lot of opportunity for that corner to be turned."

"When he said, 'Yes, we can,' it may have been politically clever," Belafonte continued. "He never defined for us what he said ... So those of us who felt that we needed change filled in that space with our own images of what we thought he meant only to find out we are all disappointed because none of those things have been satisfied."
'HIS MISSION HAS FAILED'

Way to go Bernie, keep piling up endorsement from folks who dislike Obama. Way to win over the AA community.
