Thanks to Bruce Springsteen,Ben Affleck,Oprah,Jon Bon Jovi and numerous other clueless hacks we are stuck with one of the most divisive,worst President ever.People should boycott Springsteen and BonJovi concerts and CD's.Oprahs products and Affleck's lame movies in protest.

These celebrities believe because of their successes and talents(Bon Jovi and Affleck's mediocrity) that they know better than everyone else.They were quite vocal in Obama's "Greatness'.Now let them suffer an eventual backlash for their support of this horrible leader.And you can add Sean Penn and his loony anti-American rants to that list too.The leftwing Liberals were quick to demonize Charlton Heston and even accuse him of Racism (in the 60's he marched WITH civil rights activists) so now it's time to hold these celebrities accontable for their endorsements.

Anyone who votes for a president purely on the endorsement of a celebrity is fully responsible for failure to think for themselves and/or lazy.

I did not base my vote for Obama because Oprah or Bruce told me. I did it because I researched and thought deeply about my stances and where I stand.

They are entitled to support any candidate they want. Last time I looked, it's a free country.

Wow, sucks to have an opinion and be allowed to say things without being beat as a celebrity now.

I love how free speech and reasoned opinions only seem to be positive when they are in line with the cranks viewpoints.

They should just do that but the beauty of free speech is that even the ignorant can give his/her opinions. It is up to us as to whether we listen or not.

Yes they are entitled to support any candidate they choose, however, they shouldn't use their stardom to convince their fans to support their candidates. Stardom doesn't necessarily equal intelligence.

Absolutely correct. And if any idiot votes for someone because of a celebrity, they don't deserve the right. It's theirs. But they don't deserve it.

Springsteen is dumb as a post but Oprah is just too nice that she's an easy mark to be taken advantage of. Affleck, he's just playing the gang he has to be around.
