Madonna tells fans to vote for ‘black Muslim’ Obama

US: Pop diva Madonna urged fans to vote for President Barack Obama in America’s November election, but raised eyebrows by calling him a “black Muslim,” according to a video posted online Tuesday.

In the clip reportedly shot during a concert Monday night, she listed American icons Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King before turning to Obama, of whom she is a well-known supporter.

“And now it is so amazing and incredible to think we have an African American in the White House,” she said in an expletive-laden speech, flanked by her troupe of black dancers at the show in Washington DC.

“Am I with you, and are you with me?” Madonna -- who at one point admitted to feeling “a little dizzy” and repeatedly sucked on a bottled drink and blinked a lot -- asked rhetorically, to whoops from the audience.

“So y’all better vote for...Obama, okay?” she added, before saying: “For better or for worse, all right, we have a black Muslim in the White House. Now that is... some amazing shit.
