Surprise! Toby Keith Likes Clinton and Obama
People ^ | 4/15/8 | Eileen Finan

Despite Toby Keith's past public support of President George W. Bush and his famous post-Sept.11 song, "The Angry American (Courtesy of the Red White and Blue)," this year the country star says things have changed.

Keith, who in the past has said he's a Democrat but was unhappy with the party's candidates, now can support the current contenders for the nomination.

"I'm real happy that there are two candidates that people can get behind," he told PEOPLE at the CMT awards Monday. "I feel like there are two people now – with Hillary [Clinton] and the time she's spent," he said of the former first lady and current New York senator.

Me too. What a shame. Does he know he is electing another Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton?

Toby has totally lost it....

Most likely he's fallen under the influence of a liberal chick.

Let me know when you plan to the "boot in his a$$". Toby is a big boy - I might build a fence and sell tickets.

Toby Keith did his best not to offend anybody while keeping his ballot secret. We have that right in this country.

I dunno.....”She’s a Hottie” is tryin’ real hard to take the title.

Agree about McGraw. That one didn’t last long on the radio. Thank goodness. Some songs just didn’t need to be recorded the first time.

Sure you’re not mixing him up with Alan Jackson? I’d take AJ over Toby any day.

"Despite the loony lefty People spin, Keith praised McCain and did not say that he was endorsing Clinton or Obama."

Too late. The lynch mob has spoken.

I love these threads. People are always so surprised,no matter how many times it happens. And they take it so seriously. Meanwhile, the guy has always been an AWFUL singer. That was and is the only reason I ever needed to ignore him and his “music.”

Charlie Daniels needs to take him out behind the woodshed.

LOL. I agree! Toby Keith needs to listen to his own song, "Ain't no Right Way....to do the Wrong Thing".

I recall Toby in an Interview at some point just after the Invasion of Iraq. He had gone wobbly then. Went about like this “I supported Afghanistan, but this Iraq thing, hrrumph, hummpff, not so sure about that”. Just like pretty much every liberal except the pacifist loonies.

It is time for celebrities to keep their opinions about politics to themselves and just do their jobs. (I know this goes agains the whole free speech thing and all, but I am running out of celebrities to like.)

As far as free speech, they’re certainly free to express their opinions but we are free to express our opinions about their opinions right back. They tend to not like that but it’s the way it works. A handful of celebrities are smart enough to know democrats, republicans, liberals, conservatives & everything in between go to their movies, their shows & buy their music. And they keep their mouth shut. I just wish there were more.

Toby has always been a jack@$$.

I used to really like Toby Keith until a couple of things happened:

1) Paying attention to the words in his songs, they can be seriously mean.

2) Went to three concerts. The crowds got progressively more nasty drunk over the years (meaning I don't want to be around the kind of people that like him, there were a lot of drunken fights, a lot more than I saw at a heavy metal concert later that year). Then there were the incidents where some drunk girls stole my wife's jacket (I got it back with a confrontation) and another time when security (under Toby's orders, so they say) wouldn't allow my wife's blood sugar tester into the concert because it had needles, and she might attack Toby with the needles!!!!!

Nope, haven't listened to him for a while now, and don't miss it a bit.

Yeah, the needles on those things are deadly weapons. LOL. I don’t think Toby’s the roughneck he tries to make himself out to be.

He still phoning in those live shows?
