Etta James throws Obama under her bus--also that Beyonce woman

February 5, 2009 |  1:59 pm

Turns out, in addition to the Daschle problem and the Killefer problem and the Mr. Solis problem and the non-bipartisan partisan problem, President Barack Obama now has an Etta James problem.

And so does Beyonce.

Etta is not (underline that) happy with Obama and Beyonce for stealing her trademark song, "At Last" for the first dance during the recent inauguration celebration in Washington.

Our pals over at KTLA first broadcast the audio tape of Etta dissing Obama during a recent concert (See video below):

"You guys know your president, right?," James asks the crowd. "You know, the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president!"

She refers to Beyonce as "that woman he had singing for him, singing my song." James adds she "can't stand Beyonce," who, of course, played James in the movie, "Cadillac Records."

Etta also promises the crowd to do something violent to Beyonce's rear end. (Caution: Video contains juvenile language that may be offensive to someone somewhere but that's just too bad; they don't have to click the video then.)

The content of Etta Jame's character falls a little short!

This is awesome! Forget the Beyonce crap, "AT LAST" a black person picked on Obama. He is a goofy, dorky, Curious George looking fool and it's about time someone of color called him on it.

Obama also believes there are 60 states in the U.S. Don't believe me? Look it up on youtube, and while you there also take a look at his Bristol, VA speech where his teleprompter went out leaving him completely lost. It's fantastic but sad!

After you watch that you'll say "Wow, and I thought W. Bush was dumb! George W. Bush just mispronounces a few words and acts a littlle goofy. But, unlike Obama, he has never forgotten the entirety of what his message was during a speech. At one point Obama said in the ER they hook up children with Asthma to a Breathalizer. I'm not kidding, the guy is retarded!

John Roberts...you're a big doofy idiot. I hope you burn in hell.
