Janet Jackson Defends President Obama
R&B legend Janet Jackson has lashed out against detractors who say President Barack Obama has failed miserably in his attempt to govern the nation during his time in office.
“I think people are giving him really such a hard time,” Janet said in an interview with Times of London over the weekend. “Everyone wants everything to turn around immediately. It took us how many years to get to this point?” Janet continued. “People say, ‘His first 100 days in office, what has he done?’ You can’t do that to the man. It’s not going to happen tomorrow. It’s going to take us time to get out of it.”

I agree 100%. People seem to have selective amnesia. This mess was waiting for Pres. Obama when he got to the White House. I believe Pres Obama was stunned, ( as we all were) when he truly found out just how deep of a hole the country was in. Remember , we were in a recession the whole year of 2008. The financial crash came in Sept 2008(2 months before the election of Barack Obama) unemployment was @ 500’000 and climbing @ the end of 2008. so people, I am heartbroken @ the state our country is in too, but let’s be fair and give the President the first term @ least (4 years) to try and turn an 8 year problem around. Let’s try to put ourselves in his shoes. let’s try and support our President and our country.
