Dolly Parton Makes Bold Statement About Obama, Fans Are Outraged Recently, Dolly Parton appeared on CNN to speak up in support of President Obama. In the clip, which has now gone viral, Parton admits that Obama isnt as popular with the American people as he once was. Still, she defends him by claiming that he is just trying to do the best he can. She then reassures viewers that she has not lost faith in the president, and that she will continue to stand behind him. Of course, Obamas issues in the White House extend far beyond his dwindling popularity. His behavior has been unethical, and some would argue criminal. What do you think? Should Dolly Parton stick to music and leave politics alone?
