[WATCH] Did You Find Jamie Foxx Referring to Obama As ‘Lord & Savior’ Offensive?
Honestly, I was at the Soul Train Awards and totally missed this comment, but days later church and religious folk are still discussing it. On Sunday, Soul Train Awards 2012 aired and a remark by comedic actor Jamie Foxx is catching some heat. During the show, he jokingly commented:
“It’s like church in here. First of all, giving honor to God and our Lord and Savior Barack Obama.”
Check the clip out below.

Immediately after his remark, my twitter TL lit up with folk defending and attacking Jamie’s comment(s). What’s more? Some have taken it a step further, releasing statements expressing their displeasure with his statements. What are your thoughts on Jamie’s remarks–where they offensive and highly inappropriate or are people being too sensitive? [Huff Post]

He’s a comedian….no one gets im their feelings when an actor plays ‘our Lord & Savoir Jesus Christ’.
I think it just came out all wrong….. ha ha
I can see why they’re offended, but it was meant to be funny. I didn’t take offense to it. I love Obeezy and I know who died for my sins. Only be offended if you’re confused on what/who you worship.
He’s a comedian. LICENSE! Even if he’d just referred to him as “Savior”, as in saving us from Romney; still would’ve ruffled feathers. He’s a COMEDIAN!!
