Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher told CNSNews.com that living under Republican rule almost killed" her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican.
She also said that President Barack Obamas intelligence and spirit are so great he will be able to do more than anyone could possibly do.
His intelligence is so great and his spirit is so great, I believe he will be able to do as much if not more than anyone could possibly do, Cher told CNSNews.com at the Declare Yourself inaugural ball.
I just think hes totally the right person at this time in our history," she said. "He brings something more in his spirit than maybe another president could be even with the same intelligence. Theres something about him that brings more with his spirit, and thats what Americans need right now. Republicans almost killed me.
When asked to explain how Republicans somehow killed her, Cher was not specific.
You know what? I have so I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just dont understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just cant figure it. I dont understand, she said. If youre poor, if youre any kind of minority gay, black, Latino, anything. If youre not a rich I dont know. If youre not a rich born-again-Christian, I dont get it.
Cher also said President Obama will not end the war in Iraq right away.
I think as soon as he can. I dont think it will be easy. It would be kind of simplistic to think thats going to happen right away, she said.
Cher rose to fame in 1965 as a member of the pop/rock duo "Sonny & Cher" with her future husband Sonny Bono. They are best known for their hits, "Love Is Strange" and "I Got You Babe." Cher won an Academy Award for her performance in the 1987 film "Moonstruck." She also won a Grammy award for her 1998 solo album, "Believe."
You’d think her going under the knife so many times would do it. Was her plastic surgeon a Republican?
Consider the source, she didn’t even finish highschool! BWAH, HA HA HA HA!!
Shouldnt she be on a ledge somewhere?
Sounds to me she still hates her Republican ex-husband Sonny Bono.
Her plastic surgeries will kill her before any Republican ever will.
“Sounds to me she still hates her Republican ex-husband Sonny Bono.”
She put on some crying act at his funeral. What a phoney.
Old and senile.
It never fails to amaze me how STUPID Hollywood celebrities are. Doesn’t she want Republicans to buy her “music”? That would be like your local restaurant or hardware store putting up a sign saying, “Republicans stay out! We don’t want your business!” It’s idiotic.
Republicans buy music too. Some even go to the movies (hard to believe with all the trash that is out there). Cher is just an old fart trying to hold on to her youth.
Well, there’s another show biz Mensa member that I can cross off the ‘watch’ list...
These freaks need to just “shut up and sing”...
lol. That's the one laced with LSD if I recall.
Cher’s age exceeded her IQ about 40 years ago.
My first thought was "Which Rule?". Second thought was "We'll need to try harder, next time."
You know what? I have so I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just dont understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just cant figure it. I dont understand, she said. If youre poor, if youre any kind of minority gay, black, Latino, anything. If youre not a rich I dont know. If youre not a rich born-again-Christian, I dont get it.
Because you're stupid. All it takes is intelligence and a lack of gullibility and greed (the bad kind of greed).
Another single-name celebrity heard from. Now waiting for Sting, Bono, and Prince to weigh in.
I looked up “airhead” in my dictionary, and this dumb beotch’s picture was there!
Cher is dumber than a bag of marbles
She's like a narcotic--one past its due date.
