Sometimes and artist's work stands beyond his politics, real or perceived. It's notable that in the excellent documentary about him directed by Scorsese that Joan Baez emphasizes that Dylan was never very political as we would call it today, that he was concerned with basic human rights and individuals (in some cases I'd say misguidedly so, as in the Hurricane Carter case).

You have to stand back and just admit someone's artistic greatness even if he supported Obama, which he has.

He's Dylan. He's awesome. I couldn't care less who he's voted for, his albums have given me pleasure for decades.

He said some nice things about Obama, but he also said some nice things about Bush. But he is about as spolitical as they come. He completely avoided Vietnam protests, he completely avoiding the “no nukes” crowd. He’s about as PC as a burning hemorrhoid. And he actually likes America.
