Let
$G$ be a locally compact group, and let 
${{A}_{\text{cb}}}(G)$ denote the closure of 
$A(G)$, the Fourier algebra of $G$, in the space of completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$. If $G$ is a weakly amenable, discrete group such that 
${{C}^{*}}(G)$ is residually finite-dimensional, we show that ${{A}_{\text{cb}}}(G)$ is operator amenable. In particular, 
${{A}_{\text{cb}}}({{\mathbb{F}}_{2}})$ is operator amenable even though 
${{\mathbb{F}}_{2}}$, the free group in two generators, is not an amenable group. Moreover, we show that if $G$ is a discrete group such that ${{A}_{\text{cb}}}(G)$ is operator amenable, a closed ideal of $A(G)$ is weakly completely complemented in $A(G)$ if and only if it has an approximate identity bounded in the 
$\text{cb}$-multiplier norm.

We prove a quantized version of a theorem by M. V. Sheĭnberg: A uniform algebra equipped with its canonical, i.e., minimal, operator space structure is operator amenable if and only if it is a commutative
${{C}^{*}}$-algebra.
