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 Obamas 2012 reelection.
I think that the administration has been almost too modest in their accomplishments, Taylor said. And its remarkable to me that they get blamed for the problems that the people we elect actually havent caused. Im hoping the American public understands who we got here, what weve got in this president, a remarkable leader. It just makes me feel wonderful to see him in this White House. I dont mean to get too political.

That is very true. My dumb ass brother and even dumber fat ass sister-in-law, both used nearly identical reasons for voting for 0dumbo the commie pig, as you mentioned above. In my brother's case his line of reasoning for voting for 0dumbo was this..."What about Bush?"
I incredulously asked him, "Ok, what about Bush"....and that ended the conversation.
I still have a hard time forgiving my brother for being so stupid.... his fat ass wife, I can understand, as she grew up in a dumb ass demoRAT blue collar family, filled with illogical reasoning & stupidity. Good demoRAT household. But my brother.....what a stooge he turned out to be.
Nor does he know his hole from an ass on the ground. :-)
OK James...I think we get it.
This is where an entertainment type Liberal has to show how much they love the Black Man.
Sorry if this offends, but it’s true. Liberals fall all over themselves to show how they aren’t racist, by heaping praise upon blacks whether they deserve it or not. Michelle Obama is a case in point. To show how much they’re NOT RACIST, the media feels the need to constantly justify themselves by doing story after story on how gorgeous Moochelle is. Sorry, but Moochelle aint gorgeous...at least not to the extent that the MSM find it necessary to do one obligatory story after another on her great beauty and fashion sense.
By doing this, the Left actually make the point that they’re the real racists.
Oh, I do. It takes hard work and dedication to suck this hard.
He's one of my favorite musicians, but yes he does not know his ass from a hole in the ground. I have absolutely no interest in his "thinking." The massive amount of drugs he ingested from the 1960's on, and his wealthy southern aristocrat roots blind him to reality. BTW, he was terrific as an opening act for Carole King in 1971.
he needs to get back on heroin.....
Memo to James Taylor: oral sex is a greater cause of cancer than tobacco.
I agree - BO is “remarkable.” Remarkably stupid, fascist, anti-American, marxist, socialist and moslem - but all remarkably so.
“Remarkable” leader for sure, I have certainly made a lot of remarks about him.
I have three brothers, one older than I and I don’t care what he thinks for other reasons, two younger than I and both have fried their brains to the point that they cannot see reality. I still care a lot about the two younger but it is not possible to truly communicate with them, we can talk but there seems little point in it. They both still work and earn a decent living but don’t really seem logical and they have very short attention spans. I could call the youngest one tomorrow and ask him to come to see me Saturday and he might say that he will but it will never happen. If I want to see him I have to go to his house. It just isn’t worth it any longer. They are more like political fence sitters, I doubt that either one bothers to vote but they can’t seem to imagine what is really happening. They know something is terribly wrong but if they blame anyone it is “Bush’s fault”.
You describe the “product goal” of the American education system under the direction of John Dewey and his followers.
All this Obama worshiping is blind idiocy.
James Taylor was a notorious heroin junkie. That fact speaks to his judgment.
JT... what have you done? I know you are a liberal but I love your music and I haven’t written you off because I respected the fact that you NEVER speak out on politics. I am so disappointed.
