Madonna: Obama Is 'A Black Muslim in the White House,' Deserves Votes
In Madonna: Obama Is 'A Black Muslim in the White House,' Deserves Votes on the Huffington Post, it asserts the idea to vote for Obama through a performance done by Madonna. The author says how Madonna performed in Washington D.C, and stated how she said having a “black Muslim” in the white house who supported gay rights was an empowering movement and a positive step for America. The writer talks about different occurrences when Madonna explains her reasoning for saying that at her concert in order to show people that she had no intention on being offensive. The audience is intended to be directed towards Madonna fans, and those who heard or saw what she said at that concert.
In this article, I was very surprised with what Madonna said and the way she worded it. She could have put it in many other ways to be more formal and less unprofessional. With all of the slang and vulgar language, it kind of makes Obama and his family look bad. But the article uses other quotes and references on why she said this to show Obama and all of their supporters that she only had the best intentions. It also shows how she believes in equality and I believe it did achieve its goal in trying to make her look better. It also positively helped Obama and how he was presented through her performance and the way she decided to support him.
