Pharrell Shares His Views on the Presidential Election With Jimmy Fallon
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[10] Comments
Lately, Pharrell has not been about talking about his musical collaborations. Though he’s definitely doing his thing behind the boards, he seems to prefer to just let the music speak for itself. During his latest interview on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Skateboard avoided giving any details about his recent sessions with Hov, Frank Ocean and more. However, he did share his personal views on the presidential election and what he thinks it meant to America.
“A little bit of the illusion is healthy… like the election. I think it was a good exercise for this country. I think everybody being invigorated, and going and sharing their opinon is what America is about.”

The election was terrible for this country. It’s more divided than ever.
Obama has shown time and time again he doesn’t know how business works. He never has for he has never had a business job in his life. He’s a fawkin community organizer, who happens to be the President of the US. God is looking down on us saying, wow you really are stupid.
Those who voted for him obviously wanted a weaker country and well you got it. I’m just glad I’m rich, but it sucks having to give my money to those who hate me. Guess what though, I fawkin… to.

I have no respect for a guy who doesn’t repsect me or my kind. I find Barack Hussein to be one of the most racist and divisive human beings ever. I wanted him to succeed so badly, but instead he has sucked the big fat one and alienated the population who makes America run.
Layoffs are a coming Aubre. I hope for your sake you have a job that thinks you bring something to the table. If you don’t, they’ll tell to pack it up and get the… out by noon.
No more blaming Bush. This is all on dipshit now. It’s going to ba a sad, sad four more year. Depression is a coming.
FYI – Taxes are going up not just for the 1% but for all. Obama and his clowns didn’t tell you this though. Enjoy having less money in your pockets. That’s if you had any in the first place.

Yep you are right God is looking down on us calling us stupid (the same way he did when Bush got Re-elected). I am sorry that you feel that way about my President, but I hate to break it to you but ummh WE THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!! Who are these “alienated” people that run the country? Are you suggesting White America? The Repubs? Whom exactly (please don’t be vague)? Our President is biracial, so I hope you are not talking about White America. I don’t need President Obama to tell me taxes are going up because if you read you would know that. For example when you go to church do you only listen to the preacher or do you read the bible for yourself or do you do both to be in the know( God holds you responsible for finding out the truth)? You may not like my President but he was the better candidate. What exactly is your kind? Are you a Hybrid human? Since you can predict the future I suggest you get some ZOLOFT (maybe you can get it with Obama Care during the second term). I don’t think anyone is blaming Bush… to be honest there is no need we all know why America is in this state. What people like you fail to realize is that the next generation will always pay more taxes than the previous one, because each generation expects a better quality of life than their parents. So the net Generation demands and expects more from the Government.For example my Grandmother and my mother didn’t expect for their employers to provide women health benefits, but me and my generation does!! Welfare was created during the great depression as well SSI. This system was created by Franklin D Roosevelt. He raised the taxes in a DEPRESSION!!! He said that America is a great country that should take care of the great people that helped build it. We will always pay more for things, it is the way of the world (get over it). President Obama inmy humble opinion honestly wants to help “We the People”, not a certain population. We are Americans, none of us are natives of this land, so we must learn to coincide with each other. I understand that you are scared and living in fear, that is common with forced change. Eventually you and “your” people (whomever or whatever they maybe) will adjust. You will adjust like all the other previous Americans did. Don’t worry it is only 4 more years. I mean we let Reagan screw us in the 80s and we turned out fine, because eventually a candidate came and cleaned up the mess like they promised they would. So don’t worry in 2016 you will have another chance to choose a new candidate from scratch. It was written for him to be in office just as it was written for both Bush 1&2 to be in office as well. I could write around you in circles, but I digress…

I like Obama as a person and I can appreciate that he has broken a lot of ground. Also, I appreciate what he does on social issues. But the bottom line is that if his weak spot is the economy, as seems to be the case, whatever touchy-feely motives myself and the rest of the electorate felt toward him will soon fade when people are out there starving.
