Cheers to Jen and Ben! its great people are standing up for what they beleive in, and if they have more influence or power than others, its good to use it for good causes. Obama is the man. He isnt going to turn this country into a 'black nation' or get back at whites. And everyone has made mistakes so stop ragging on him all the time. McCain isnt perfect. And he isnt Muslim so stop saying that. Even if he was part muslim, it would have been far back in his family heritage that it wouldnt make a impact on how he deals with the middle east. maybe he doesnt always stop to talk to every person but, if you havent realized, he's sort of running for president. Duh there will be publicity scandals and events but there are for McCain too. Give him a chance. I even gave McCain a chance but didnt like what i saw. But i did. We need CHANGE...not the same bs we've had for the past 8 years. its not a sin to be smart either. Dear god he went to harvard, he must not be a good president. Grow up people, just bc he uses big words doesnt mean he is trying to offend people. Plus his family is cuter. (ps: im white...and i get alot of bs about liking him so dont give me any more)

Ok..this is a comment re: Amber's Obama "list" that drives me crazy when (I assume) Bush loving repubs list "wants to make the minimum wage a "living" wage" as a bad thing...think about it...people at the lowest end of the wage scale would actually be able to feed their families and heat their homes on their EARNINGS! What a concept!

Since you're too ignorant to get past a made-up, genetically and biologically disproven societal concept such as race, then let's exam some race & history. The first & most advanced society (B.C.) on the face of this Earth were the ancient Egyptians in Africa. The Ancient Egyptian society was ALL BLACK. They invented & practiced advanced arts & sciences including astrology, advanced mathematics, engineering, arts, writings, medicine & even the first spoken language amongst many other achievements including construction of the Great Pyramids of Egypt & the Sphinx of Giza! Which by the way, the "white" race with all their advances and so called "intelligence" can't duplicate or even figure out how they were constructed even until this day! So "black power" sounds pretty good to me, if you want or need to call it that, because we can see where 2000 years of "white power" has gotten us so far. And as far as being scary, that's always the first reaction of people with inferior intelligence to those of superior ones, which they can't understand. What's to be afraid of? As a Black man in this racist society, we all know as President he would be watched & scrutinized closer than a hawk. For instance, he would never get away with getting a blow job in the Oval office from someone who isn't even his wife & allowed to stay in office, right? Or, allowed to remain in office when its been proven that he didn't get the majority of the electoral votes needed. We all know that, NOW don't we?

SO disappointing! Thought Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were considerably intelligent people. A vote for Obama is a vote for Socialism, and for the "black power" platform his former pastor and church promote. Regardless of race, we should choose someone who reflects right values on the important issues. Ultimately, he would raise our taxes sky high. That's about all you can "hope" for. Some of What Defines Obama:
• He voted against banning partial ' birth abortion.
• He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
• Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.
• In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.
• Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
• Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.
• Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.
• Opposed the Patriot Act.
• First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.
• Voted No on prohibiting law suits against gun manufacturers.
• Supports universal health-care.
• Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
• Supports granting driver's licenses and extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
• Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
• Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
• Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.
• Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.
• He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax
• He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax
• He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.
• Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.
• He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.

Do NOT vote for Obama. He endorses the racist comments of his Pastor, Jeremiah Wright (calls him family). Obama is a liar ... says he's never heard his Pastor make racist or negative comments about the United States. Bull! Obama was a member of this church for 20 years! There are hundreds of racist and negative comments caught on video of Pastor Wright making these racist comments and yet Obama (a 20 year supporter and attender of this church) has not heard 1 negative comment? Add that to the lies he tells Americans when behind closed doors with Canada and France he states to ignore his public comments. What about Rezco? Did we forget that already? C'mon people ... this is a muslim, racist liar who regularly associates himself with corrupt individuals such as Rezco. Not to mention Obama's association with a confirmed terrorist, Bill Ayers.

Do your research people!!!! What has Obama really done? What does his resume look like? Read my comments above, Obama is a scary individual. We are all in trouble if this is our new President.

Obama iS NOT muslim. Don't read Newsmax. Obama is a true american, and is a new generation leader. Ask him anything, he'll tell you the real news.

Obama comes from amusilm backround, therefore if he wins we are screwed. DONT VOTE FOR A TERRORIST.

Once again, 5:05 AM reminds us that anybody who dares to criticize Obama in any way is "evil." What a cult.

For all you that changes your mind in terms of which candidate to vote for, you all are just political prostitude. I mean, you can agree with me that, this young man OBAMA, has no spot yet because there's nothing to say against him, Instead they took to hooking him up with what other people says or do. Tells us what he's done wrong directly or is it wrong to be a member of a church for 20years? You evil minded people.

Ugh. Boring, mundane, run-of-the-mill political campaign employees infiltrating our celebrity news site. We read this sh-- to stay away from a-holes like you!!! Please, go back to Washington, blog elsewhere, take a cold shower, do whatever you have to do, just GO AWAY. This is a CELEBRITY NEWS SITE - nothing more. If we wanted serious, we would read the freakin' New York Times. And we do. You, however, need to leave us alone. You are out of your league here.

I'm with Brian. There are a lot of stupid and ignorant commentors to this article. For those of you who still think that Barack doesn't put his hand over his heart while reciting the pledge, you are listening to too much anti-Obama bs. You know the photo of him that was being passed around the internets a while back? That wasn't even during the pledge!

Know your facts before coming to conclusions. This is common sense.

If people actually read they would know and understand why Barack Obama is the best candidate for president. And I'm pretty sure most of the people who have posted a comment on this article have not done any reading.

What kind of change does he want? And please name one accomplishment of this Anti-American man? He is a no good excuse for an America! I mean come on he can't even put his hand over his heart to say the Pledge!

Come on people - if you're going to get personal and show how biased and hateful you truly are, then you should sign your name to your post - sigining as anonymous reminds me of those guys who wear white sheets and those retarded pointy hats! Come on people - be proud of your stupidity and ignorance!

Kym, "America" doesn't owe you anything. You are supposed to create your own opportunities. If it is getting harder and harder to do so, you should ask yourself what kind of policies and political philosophies are responsible. I'll give you a hint - big government leftism.
