Aretha Franklin
My performance? Oh boy, what an honor. It's all but overwhelming. I think that most people — not just African Americans — are looking and hoping for some kind of change in America, having to do with all of the critical issues that [Obama] and his Administration are going to have to address, like foreclosure, the economy [and] crime. But I think they're going to be highly successful. You have such an intelligent, high-level-IQ group of people. Whatever can be done is going to be done. I believe that.
