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.

Barry Manilow? Get real. This is the guy that refused to go on the View unless Elizabeth Hasselbeck was absent.
Barry’s own words: I wanted to let you know that I will no longer be on The View tomorrow as scheduled. I had made a request that I be interviewed by Joy, Barbara or Whoopi, but not Elisabeth Hasselback (sic). Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request so I bowed out. It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs. The good news is that I will be on a whole slew of other shows promoting the new album so I hope you can catch me on those.
got humor?
Nope, don't always catch sarcasm either. You tripped me up with Kenny G., because knowing nothing about him, I believed you when you said he was conservative.
I thought that mentioning the two of them, whom no one here seems to like (regardless of their politics) would be enough, to signal sarcasm. I guess not.
That’s incredible I’ve always liked Toby Keith he gets a pass from me too
Cries myself to sleep over Carrie underwood
She’s a vegetarian, and that’s a bigger turn-off to me than just about anything else. I just don’t get it.
Gave em to the waitress at the bar drowning my dismay over this trip!
