The sharp-tongued Smiths frontman said Obama is “white inside” and trashed the president's handling of racial tensions in his first video interview in nearly a decade.
Speaking Wednesday to Larry King on his web series, Morrissey took easy bait to bash Obama’s record.

“I think he's disappointed lots of people because I don't think in cases like Ferguson that he's helped his own people,” the "Bigmouth Strikes Again" singer said.
Pressed on what the president could have done, Morrissey casually suggested: “By being more interested, and forgetting about the police machinery all the time and constantly saying the police are always right and we must listen to the police. Everyone knows that's not true. So Obama, is he white inside, that's a very logical question, but I think he probably is.”
King immediately switched topics to Morrissey's claim he was "sexually groped" by security at San Francisco International Airport.

Morrissey said Obama is "white inside" because of his handling of the events in Ferguson and other recent racial tensions.
Apparently fixated on presidential politics, the British singer later blasted the entire field of Republican GOP candidates, saying they are “all look so uniform,” and called right-wing icons Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin “insane.”
Asked if it’s time for Hillary Clinton to take the Oval Office, he said, “I think so.”
In the half-hour interview, Morrissey also singled out rap as the one genre he can’t stand because “the voice is always the same,” but he said he appreciates its “social sentiment.”
The singer, who causes controversy nearly every time he opens his mouth for anything other than singing, has never made a secret of his beefs with Obama. A flagrant vegan, he once accused Obama of setting “an abysmal example” by eating turkey on Thanksgiving.
