Harvey Weinstein: Obama's Not
Embarrassing; The Country Is Embarrassing'

Hollywood producer and
Obama donor Harvey Weinstein said the
United States
is "embarrassing" because of its adherence to the Second Amendment and lack of universal
healthcare.
Appearing on Piers Morgan Tonight
Friday, Weinstein said "this is the only the country in the world where we
don't have health care. Countries embarrass us around the world."
"And this is the only country
in the world where we don't have a gun law. I watched you, you know, talking
about that," he said. "You know, quite frankly it's embarrassing.
Obama's not embarrassing. The country is embarrassing."
Morgan asked Weinstein during the
show's Friday installment "if he could enjoy the work of someone like
Chris Christie," the Republican governor of New Jersey.
"I love him," Weinstein
said. "I think the guy's fantastic."
Weinstein then said, "as good
as Governor Christie is," he could become an "excellent Secretary of
State under President [Hillary] Clinton."
Christie is likely to run for the
Republican presidential nomination in 2016. Should Christie win, his opponent
in the general election could be Clinton, for whom Weinstein said he would do
"whatever he could."
Also in the interview, Morgan read
aloud to Weinstein Robert Redford's
comments in which he said some Republicans who opposed Obama during the
government shutdown were racist, and he commented that Redford
used "pretty strong words" in "accusing Obama's opponents of
being racist."
Weinstein replied, "I think
some of them are, you know, unfortunately."
"Yeah, I do," Weinstein
said of his belief that some Republicans in Congress who oppose Obama are
racist. "Because this kind of vitriol is unexplained otherwise. It just
looks like utter disdain for the president."
