Madonna: Vote for the 'Black Muslim in the White House'
On the heels of politicos fully grasping the political leanings of the magical creature known as Nicki Minaj, today we have an odd "real" celebrity endorsement: at her D.C. stop on her MDNA Tour, Madonna told fans on Monday night to vote for "the Black Muslim in the White House" who's "fighting for gay rights." Here's footage of Madonna's "endorsement" (her Obama comments comes around the 1:50 mark)
So yeah. That's odd, right? Thanks to her terrible delivery, it's hard to tell whether Madonna is being sarcastic and mocking people who think Obama is a Muslim (yes people still do) or if Madonna actually believes President Obama is a Muslim (he isn't). Hey, she even confused Politico. "That means there is hope in this country," she said. Add in the mega church-like cheering, and her other reasons to vote for Obama (that Obama is fighting for gay rights)—and three things become apparent in this video: (1) Madonna is endorsing Obama. (2) If Madonna is wrong, no one is going to tell Madonna she's wrong. (3) History class with Madonna would probably be really great.
Do you think she was being sarcastic? I didn't get that vibe from her. This will just give those idiot right wingers who think Obama's a Muslim more ammo.
I think she was being sarcastic, but tbh everything she says and does lately is just so flimsy. It's better left unmentioned because these desperate cries for controversy are embarrassing.
Its a figure of speech. She didnt mean it literally. I thought she was being shady when i saw the thread title. I was bout to go in ... As in as atrl and my 8 outstanding WP currently permits ... Poor dat
she was being sarcastic and i love it, i get it while i was reading, it is that difficult? She obviously knows that Obama is christian, she supporting him since 2008 and i'm pretty sure that Madonna would know something cause she on Kabbalah.
The interesting this is that people are actually offended or upset she called him a Muslim. Does it say that you have to be Christian to be a president?
"Y'all better vote for f--king Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right? We have a black Muslim in the White House. Now that's some amazing s--t.It means there is hope in this country. And Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man, goddamnit."
So dedicated to performance art and people's rights.
