Spike Lee and Barack Obama
I'm hoping that Spike Lee will do a feature-length documentary on Barack Obama. Conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the loony Ann Coulter will accuse Lee of race baiting and rabblerousing. But who better than Spike Lee to help lead the discussion and shed some much needed light on such a thorny issue? At this writing I haven't had a chance to see his documentary on New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. But I have seen Four Little Girls, his excellent film about the fatal 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama as well as Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X. All of them are worthwhile seeing again and again.
