Spike Lee on the 2008 presidential campaign

Spike Lee walks the red carpet with his wife, attorney and author Tonya Lewis Lee, at the 2007 Oscars.

Here's what Spike Lee has to say about the focus of the 2008 presidential campaign:

"It's been very interesting too look at some of these presidential debates, and the Gulf region never comes up.  Don't forget about the Americans who are down there still struggling because they've been abandoned.  Again."

Brad Pitt, Wynton Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. , are also thinking about the folks in New Orleans.
