"You guys know your president right? You know the one with the big ears. Yeah, wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours. I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her a** whipped. The great Beyonce! Now like I said, she ain't mine. I can't stand Beyonce! She had no business up there singing. Singing on a big ole, big ole president day and going be singing my song that I've been singing forever."

– 71-year-old Blues legend Etta James dogged both President Barack Obama and singer Beyonce Knowles during a recent concert performance.

Just to cheer everyone up on a day when the government continues to take away our liberties piece by piece.

Etta James "He ain't my president" "the one with the big ears"

Hehe.

[Doogle]

...don’t worry Etta, your bailout’s in the mail.

[dfwgator]

You rock, Etta!

[basil]

I’ve never heard of this woman before, but I certainly admire her!

[wombtotomb]

Ouch! Thats gonna leave a mark.....

[La Enchiladita]

At last........

:-)

[Sioux-san]

Maybe she goes to Pastor Manning’s church - It’s all about the Mac-Daddy Hussein Obamam.

Go somewhere on-line or to your local music outlet and listen to some of James’ numbers. She's one of the best at her venue, whether or not that's your “thing” she rocks!

LOL!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Ditto to what you said!

[redhead]

Oh, my GOODNESS!! Now I know why I LOVE to hear Etta James sing “At Last.” I’m a big fan.

[keepitreal]

Etta James is a legend. If you like the Blues you have to listen to her!

I’ve never heard of this woman before, but I certainly admire her!

Etta is blues royalty. She often did duets with B.B. King and is perhaps best know for her song "At Last".

[Wonderama Mama]

I think I’m in love....Two birds with one stone!!!! Etta rocks baby!

[La Enchiladita]

For real. Etta James is a classic, and I can’t believe there is anyone on this board who has not heard of her.

I love her speaking up and owning HER song.

[roses of sharon]

Bookmarked.....a reminder to buy a Etta James CD tomorrow.

[Revolting cat!]

Her classic, must hear album!

[Wonderama Mama]

PS, It’s widely rumored that Beyonce and her entire family are major Republicans, they just also happen to be fame whores and will do anything for a buck.

“I can’t stand Beyonce! “

Yeah, but isn’t she absolutely gorgeous?

[keepitreal]

She may be gorgeous, but she doesn’t have the chops! Etta has the chops.
