Director Spike Lee, who participated in the Television Critics Association panel spoke out on the recent controversial comments made by Rev. Jesse Jackson about Democratic hopeful Barack Obama.

 

"I don't think his (Jackson's) comments help anybody. It's just unfortunate." Reports the AP.



Lee expressed that he still believes Obama will be elected president come November. "When that happens, it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time by 'Before Obama' and 'After Obama," the director stated. "It's an exciting time to be alive now."
