He’s buddies with Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z. He regularly meets with humanitarian actor George Clooney. He’s even met with Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Now, he’s adding two more names to his re-election campaign support team: Eva Longoria (the Latino actress from Desperate Housewives) and Kal Penn (the Indian actor from the Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle stoner movies).

Why Michelle Obama has husband Barack singing the blues at home
Will inviting celebrity friends to the White House come treating the home more like a pop culture icon than a famous place with historical significance hurt Barack Obama’s chance at re-election?

Why is his choice to invite stars right and hers wrong? Keep reading…
Donald Trump might accidentally help nemesis Barack Obama get re-elected
Elections 2012 is almost here and the race for the GOP nomination has been both brutal and bitter. Entering the first week of February with a near victory in Iowa, a win in New Hampshire, a sore loss to Newt Gingrich in Christian ‘Deep South Carolina’, but recovering his dignity with a 14% victory in Florida, Mormon Mitt Romney is the Republican front runner. He’s been valiantly defending himself against Democrats, the liberal media sources like CNN (not FOX), and attacks from both Sarah Palin and Rick Perry.

Bristol Palin thinks her mother Sarah Palin would make a great president of the United States because of how smart she is, and the celebrity teen mom from Alaska is really annoyed at anyone who does not share the same sentiment. “The biggest misconception about my mom that really irritates me is that she’s dumb,” Palin told a book store outlet rep in Arizona prior to a book signing for her new money-maker memoir titled Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far. According to the former Dancing With The Stars contestant her mother is, “… so smart, and if anyone had a conversation with her they’d realize that … she’s a whiz.” Does mama grizzly inspire that much confidence among older voters? Not really. Most folks who are well-educated or who have a high IQ realize that while the Tina Fey look-alike is highly marketable as a candidate, it will not be her bright lights behind the eyes that would get her taken seriously as a candidate. Rather, if she does run, it will most likely be her ability to appeal to the lowest common denominator of society with her good looks, passion for spinning conservative rhetoric, and her “I’m just like that country girl next door” charm she’s famous for wielding faster than an Obama insult or a hunting rifle.
