Lee Daniels Film, "The Butler" Opens on Friday!

Lee Daniels has an excellent film coming out in a theater near you - on August 16, 2013.

The title of the film? "The Butler" Written by Danny Strong and Wil Haywood.

What timing! This is a period film that effervescently depicts the life of Mr. Eugene Allen.
Mr.Wil Haywood  wrote the book for which the film is based upon. Title?
"A Butler Well Served by This Election". Go purchase the book, and we can discuss it, okay?

Truly, it is astonishing and amazing that  Mr.Eugene Allen  successfully held down so many roles in his daily life - husband/father/butler/ quasi adviser to the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces of these
United States of America.

Mr. Eugene Allen served at the White House as a Butler for 34 years, achieving the highest level of
Maitre d' serving 8 Presidents: President Lyndon Johnson, President Richard Nixon,
President Gerald Ford, President Jimmy Carter,
President Ronald Reagan,
President George H. W. Bush,
President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush,
and the highlight? President Barack H. Obama.
 "That's the man, he said, as he watched
 President Barack H. Obama being sworn into office in 2008. "Whew, I'm telling you, it's something to see. Seeing him standing there, it's been worth it all."

Yes. Mr.Eugene Allen, who lived to be a "Mighty One" - 90 years of age, laid down with our ancestors in 2010. I salute you, and the men like you,
 Mr. Eugene Allen, who paved the way for our generation. Rest in Peace.

Hats off to The Weinstein Company

My opinion? - And you already know I have one -
This is truly a "Must See" film that shows how America, "The Beautiful",
 is comprised of so many people who have "True Grit". America has some issues to work out amongst ourselves, (yes, I'm using my Grandfather's word) but through and through, we'll work 'em out. What an honor to be a Citizen of the USA!

Go ON with it, Lee Daniels!
Love & light, Carla
