Grammy award-winning singer Garth Brooks told CNSNews.com that he "fully" supports President Barack Obama and that it must be "hell" serving as President of the United States.
Before his performance at the Points of Light Institute's ceremony honoring former President George H. W. Bush at the Kennedy Center on Monday, Brooks was asked if President Obama has lived up to his expectations.
"Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I'm sure nobody's more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he's trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell in that office," said Brooks.
Brooks' comments come as many celebrities who supported President Obama in the 2008 election including Matt Damon and Barbra Streisand have publicly expressed disappointment in President Obama.

Well, now Garth can confidently state that he has friends in low places!
Garth sounds like he’s selling Nike basketball shoes...
Oh well, can’t blame him. Stay out of it, sing, play music...
Great musician, obviously not a deep thinker.
whatta twit!
Would you please repeat that, Garth? In English this time.
We shouldn’t be electing people based solely on the color of their skin.
You Got That Right!
Fork. Done.
W....T....F????? This makes me sick to my stomach. I had no idea he was a lefty freak. Uhg.
I knew there was a reason why I didn’t like Garth......
Not surprised. He was a big Clinton apologist.
One less fan.......
Yeah, it’s hell taking back to back vacations in Air Force One.
Now, I'll sleep a little better tonight.
P.S.: If you have to listen to a left-wing C&W guy, try Jimmy Buffett.
He's liberal, but at least he's good.
Doesn’t come off to me as a very politically astute guy...sounds more like he doesn’t want to ruffle feathers or make headlines...seems like the type of guy who supports whoever is the president at the time
Don’t think it makes him a lefty or righty just apathetic to the whole political landscape
Well that's probably great for you Garth, but most of us are UNDERNEATH Obama and your extra weight ain't helpin' any.
What an idiot. Poor Obama, what a hard job. boo hoo. Maybe we can write a country song....
