Barack Obama supporter James Taylor doesn't just think the U.S. president is great — he believes Obama is the greatest of all-time.
"I've been watching politics since (Dwight) Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Obama is my favorite, favorite president," Taylor said in an interview Wednesday. "I am just thankful for every day that he's in office. I am so proud that he represents my country and I think he represents me — I think he represents the America that I know."
Taylor, 67, is a recipient of the National Medal of Arts. The pop icon performed "America the Beautiful" at Obama's second inauguration in 2013.
"I had a really tough time during the Cheney-Bush years, I did, and I had a hard time accepting that that administration represented me because I don't think they did," Taylor said.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer also called Obama's family "precious" and said he appreciates the U.S. leader because he's "sane" and "balanced."
"He promised to give us a health care system, it's a work in progress, but he has put us on a road to that," Taylor said. "I'm so grateful for what he's done for gay rights and for the emancipation of gay people. Particularly from my point of view, I think that was so overdue and so important, and so important for America to be ahead of the curve on this."
Taylor criticized Congress in Obama's defense.
"I've never seen a Congress that has been so obstructive and so contrary and so committed to doing anything that will foul up this administration. I just think it's an absolute scandal that he has had so little cooperation," he said.

Hey, don’t talk mean about Carly Simon!
A lover fester of Obama!
What 50 years of consuming mind altering drugs does to the human brain.
Sadly, his words are the sentiments of millions of Americans. He’s an elite white liberal, and like so many of his ilk, he has no clue of what goes in America outside of his elitist circle of fellow patronizing white liberals.
Have they lock him in a padded room yet ?
That’s pretty funny, stop it!
Giving me coughing fits!!
Then again, James DID have quite a bad heroin addiction back in the day... I’m sure that did NOTHING to his brain, right?
Have they lock him in a padded room yet ?
Several times.
“James Taylor thinks”
Then its all downhill after that.

James Taylor...is an idiot!
something only an emotionalistic statist and socialist could say
This is the mind on drugs.
His arms also look like my front lawn after aeration so I’m a tad suspicious of his opinions.
How pathetic that someone doesn’t feel he’s properly represented unless the person representing him has the same skin color. Some women probably feel disenfranchised, because the president doesn’t have a vagina. It’s racial and sexual tribalism. There’s not a single thing “progressive” about it.
Please just STFU and sing.
WOW! I didn’t know he had the power to repel peoples hands that he doesn’t want to touch. :>}
