Garth Brooks on Obama: I Love Him to Death; It's Got to Be Hell In That Office

Grammy award-winning singer Garth Brooks told CNSNews.com that he "fully" supports President Barack Obama and that it must be "hell" serving as President of the United States.

Before his performance at the Points of Light Institute's ceremony honoring former President George H. W. Bush at the Kennedy Center on Monday, Brooks was asked if President Obama has lived up to his expectations.

"Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I'm sure nobody's more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he's trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell in that office," said Brooks.

Brooks' comments come as many celebrities who supported President Obama in the 2008 election including Matt Damon and Barbra Streisand have publicly expressed disappointment in President Obama.

My thought also! I wonder if Garth would love Barry if Barry was a white guy.

Nah, I won’t judge you for whomever you want to listen to. I still remember listening to Buffet back in my frat days at university while getting stoned then I became a conservative and realized he’s overrated. Just wished these people would just shut up about their politics.

Add another,

(I wasn't a "fan" but I did like much of his music. Note that "did" is past tense.)

Adios (figuratively), Mister Brooks, newly identified Marxist Obama bud and lefty creep.

You mean you didn’t see the attraction of a mediocre voiced fat blob stuffed into a pair of jeans 5 sizes too small?

If Springsteen gained 150 lbs they’d be twins.

Yeah, I missed it too

Sheesh...as tortured as I am about liberal musicians, I didn't stoop THAT low.

Please don't tell me you like Michael Bolton...

I never did like Brooks’ faux humility:

“Well gosh, golly gee whiz - God’s been so good to a humble guy like me; sending me a woman who wasn’t my wife so that I could get divorced and run off with her. I couldn’t be more blessed.”

Just admit you’re an ahole and stop acting like it was God’s doing.

Garth, you ignorant post hole, . . . if you'd a kept yer mouth shut, I wouldn't despise you now.

Glad I never PAID to listen to you. . . . .

Not to pile on, but I don't think much of Springsteen, either.

His "golden moment", IMO was "Black and White Night."

I hope he felt honored.

He should have.

..DIXIE CHIX

Too bad for the chix's...should have put the money in the bank first(like Garth and others)...BEFORE opening their liberal trap...and coming out of the(water)closet.
