She thinks for herself. <br />She said: "The more you honour truth, the more hopeful you can be."<br />And she knows that if you honor truth, you can't have anything to do with Obama.<br />Because the truth is not in him.

You can listen to the interview from the link above, this article takes what she says way way out of content in what she says about Obama. Thank you Emily for the link. I'm read all of Alice Walker's books.

Truth for Alice Walker was enshrined in her 1982 Pulitzer Prize winning book The Color Purple, where she wrote powerfully about a troubled young black woman fighting against a racist and patriarchal culture.

For her and many others, President Barack Obama's historic rise to the White House was a hopeful moment, but for her, an all-too-fleeting one.

He charmed me, he held out a wonderful vision of a different way, she remarked wistfully, and then broke into a smile. I was naive, she remarked.
