James Taylor Hopes Americans Recognize Obama as ‘Remarkable Leader’ Wednesday, March 02, 2011 By Fred Lucas
Washington (CNSNews.com) – James Taylor, recognized at the White House on Wednesday for his musical achievement, told reporters that President Barack Obama has been too modest about his accomplishments.
In a White House ceremony, Obama presented Taylor and other artists, authors, poets and entertainers with the 2010 National Medal of Arts. The announcer of the ceremonies said, “His distinctive voice and masterful guitar playing are among the most recognized in popular music and his expansive catalog of songs has had a profound influence on songwriters and music lovers from all walks of life.”
Taylor said he supported Obama in the 2008 presidential race.
“We did work in Massachusetts but mostly in North Carolina, back down in my home state, and worked down there for a while,” Taylor said after stopping in the press briefing room after accepting the medal. “Obama carried the state by only 8,000 votes. So those of us who worked on the campaign down there got a sense that we made a difference.”
A reporter asked about Obama’s 2012 reelection.
“I think that the administration has been almost too modest in their accomplishments,” Taylor said. “And it’s remarkable to me that they get blamed for the problems that the people we elect actually haven’t caused. I’m hoping the American public understands who we got here, what we’ve got in this president, a remarkable leader. It just makes me feel wonderful to see him in this White House. I don’t mean to get too political.”

There is a reason they call it dope.
What scares me about Resident Obomba is his remarkable duplicity. Ya'll thought Clinton was a good liar? This teleprompter dude has zero ethics. A remarkable paradoxical enema up yours and mine.
He always has been, I guess it doesn’t improve with age.
btttt
.
He is a remarkable failure and a colossal mistake.
The only way Obama would be recognized as a leader would be to create a personality cult like that of Kim Jung-il. Perhaps MSNBC will start reporting that Obama made 6 holes-in-one while composing three operas.
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
White guilt drives some people mad, this is what I call “poli-flogging”... the act of adulation to prove, not only that you’re not racist, but that you’d gladly surrender your body and mind to appease the guilt within, even to the point of losing self respect. In essence, flogging yourself in public, if that is what it takes to be politically correct.
“It just makes me
FEEL
wonderful to see him in this White House. I don’t mean to get too
POLITICAL.”
“This is the extent of Liberal Politics-WAKE UP TAYLOR”.
Too many mushrooms I presume
Over-rated songwriter, too. Thank God Carly had the good sense to get away from this no-talent turd.
I love it when people talk about Obama’s “accomplishments”.
Ask ‘em to name one and they get that blank look on their faces.
Get real Taylor.
worst in my lifetime.
Makes Clinton look like a genius.
He still nuts, I see.
who freaking asked you, anyways?
exactly.
FUJT and FUBO
What a team!
