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.”
