Nope. Why? Because the media will tear him to shreds for not being politically correct. The man can’t even voice his own opinion. He has to please the media and other politicians, etc.

The President shouldn’t be commented on the character of musicians, not because he doesnt have an opinion, but because he’s the President. When he is acting as the President, he is quoted on record regarding duties as President. Now he’s been quoted off record saying something that Presidents dont say. He’s a figure head as much as he is a leader.
