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.

James, I’ve been telling you to lay off the bong since the 60’s! Dude!
If I had stopped to listen once or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I’d not be on this road tonight.
You come from a white, hippy mother from Kansas and an America-hating, black, communist father from Africa and this jughead thinks you’re the best president who has ever lived or will ever live in the future. All I can say is don’t do drugs!!! Regardless of white an idiot suffering from “white guilt” thinks, skin tone doesn’t make you great. It just gives you the ability to jump higher than white people.
Keep in mind that James Taylor was institutionalized by his father as a college student. Never the most stable of minds.
In my mind I’m thinking ‘bout Obama
Can’t you see the sunshine
Can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m thinking ‘bout Obama in my mind
Please don't encourage him to sing. Let's just stick with "please just STFU."
Too many ultraviolet rays have hit Taylor’s bald head... they’ve permeated his skull and scorched his brain.
Too many drugs back in the day.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a legion of brain-dead sycophants, some quite rich and well-known in their own right, hanging on one’s every word and action.
Its no wonder politicians can become arrogant
More proof that drugs form the 60’s have long lasting effects...........................
And so he goes from dumb to dumber.
what his higher brain works on normally
breath in
hold
breath out
hold
breath in
hold
....
his brain was suffering o2 loss by word 4.....
Nice of him to confirm he’s an idiot...
James Taylor..........Gorilla............just sayin.
greatest pile of crap of all time!
Born among the elite in Assachusetts...what else is new?
Really, we should have homes for these people, where they can live out the rest of the lives surrounded by comforting hallucinations and not screwing with the lives of the rest of us.
+1+1
Shut up and sing, James.
