Noel Sheppard Upset Jamie Foxx Calls Obama “Our Lord and Savior” During Soul Train Awards Show

Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters is going nuts over a comment Jamie Foxx made at the Soul Train Music Awards which aired on BET and Centric Sunday night — “First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama.” Um, I didn’t realize Noel Sheppard watched BET.
So, it’s okay to call President Obama a Communist, a terrorist lover, Muslim, a foreigner and all manner of names, but it’s a problem when he is called a “savior” by a black person? I am pretty sure Jamie Foxx could care less what Noel Sheppard and his right wing buddies think. I’m sure Michelle Malkin must be frothing at the mouth over this too.
