"What’s wrong with having an intelligent man as President?" asked Bennett.
Grammy award-winning singer Tony Bennett said that no one can “blame” President Barack Obama for “anything” given the “heavy load” he “inherited.”
Obama is “very encouraged about the arts but don’t forget he’s had a heavy load,” said Bennett on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol. “I mean, what he inherited as a president -- they can’t blame him for anything because they created all of the trouble for him”
Bennett continued, “I think he’s fine. I think he’s great. What’s wrong with having an intelligent man as President?”
Bennett visited Capitol Hill to support the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). NAMM is a “not-for-profit association that unifies, leads and strengthens the $17 billion global musical instruments and products industry.”
Bennett said a “good education” is lacking in the music industry today.

Finally, Tony Bennett weighed in on the current status of American politics! Now I can rest peacefully tonight.
I found my senility in San Francisco.
Shame he’s not like Sinatra...neither in music or politics
Senility and stupidity, what a combo.
Where is the BARF Alert?
“What’s wrong with having an intelligent man as President?”
Nothing at all, wish we had one.
Who cares what Tony Bennett says or thinks. He’s an old leftist fool that once said that he did not like singing the Star Spangled Banner because it was a song of war.
He should know. He's living proof.
Tony Bennett can KMA.
I’m a pro musician. Tony’s a good singer. He’s also a senile idiot!
It pisses me off that Obama fans always try to insinuate that all other Presidents before him were stupid. I’ve yet to see a strong example that Obama is smarter than my dog.
On second thought, don't.
I left my brain in San Francisco.
“What’s wrong with having an intelligent man as President?”
Since we don’t, I assume Mr. Bennet is posing a hypothetical question.
This is not new news. Bennett has been a strong supporter of the left for over 40 years.
I have another one. “I Lost My Mind in San Francisco.”
I’d rather have an Honest man as President.
