Janet Jackson says “Give Obama A Chance.” R&B legend Janet Jackson has lashed out against detractors who say the president has failed miserably in his attempt to govern the nation. In an interview with Times of London over the weeknd, the “Control” star defended President Barack Obama against Americans who believe he hasn’t accomplished anything during his time in office.

“I think people are giving him really such a hard time,” she said. “Everyone wants everything to turn around immediately. It took us how many years to get to this point?” Janet continued. “People say, ‘His first 100 days in office, what has he done?’ You can’t do that to the man. It’s not going to happen tomorrow. It’s going to take us time to get out of it.”
