Hollywood Obama

February 22, 2007

Some of Hollywood’s top celebrities have banded together to donate $1.6 million to Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Steven Spielberg, Eddie Murphy and singer Jackson Browne were among those who donated at a lavish LA fund raiser. Tickets to the star-studded event, organized by Spielberg and his Dreamworks studio, were sold for $2,300. Obama told the celebrity audience that they had “enormous power” that comes with “enormous responsibility” because of their impact on American culture. “Don’t sell yourselves short,” he said. “You are the storytellers of our age.”

Oh Brother, Obama’s feeding the Hollywood egos. Don’t they get it? American’s DO NOT CARE WHAT HOLLYWOOD THINKS ABOUT POLITICS.

    Your right, America do not care what hollywood thinks
    about politics. Its just another actor thinking that
    they can influence because they’re in show business and
    have a well known name.

    I agree with you. Your name might be Penn, or Streisand, or Spielberg, and it won’t hurt you. But if you are a former Muslim whose name is Barack Hussein Obama, you’d better raise a lot more than $1.6mm, because it is going to take a long time for people to get over your name and your religious heritage.

    Look, Barack Osama (as i like to call him) was raiesed in a school in the middle east, where they are taught to hate the United States of America because of what we stand for. Do we really want a guy like this in the possition of the most powerful and influential nation in the world? I agree.

    Joe, you don’t know what you’re talking about…Obama was not raised in the middle east. He was born in Hawaii and spent much of his childhood in Indonesia. Indonesia is a large muslim country but it is not in the middle east. You should learn your facts before speaking on a matter so you don’t look hysterical and ignorant.

    Gee, J-Dub, how do you REALLY feel about Joe? I don’t think we should call names. Let’s just all play in the sandbox like good little children. Everyone has the right to an opinion without getting called names because of it. It would be nice if everyone did a Google on a subject before posting an opinion but not everyone is going to do that.
