All Barack Obama Posts

Reuters put together a list of the top 10 moments that took place at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. Because we obviously have a shorter attention span than Reuters, we're going to pick and choose our faves from there.

Apparently, Britney Spears didn't feel confident enough to face the press after collecting three awards. Even though her acceptance speeches were short and sweet (kind of like her sizzling sparkly dress), she skipped out on a paparazzi meet-up. Well-played, if you ask me.

Russell Brand got some rousing applause when he pleaded with the audience to "Please elect Barack Obama, please. On behalf of the world." Uh oh, Sarah Palin is totally going to shoot his skinny little ass.

The audience got rounds of champagne during the show. Man, I didn't know they actually serve free booze. That's probably the only way you could get me to attend and not whine the whole time.

Best new artists Tokio Hotel were emphatic in their assertion that they wouldn't be taking home any awards. In fact the band's frontman Bill Kaulitz said there was "no way we're going to win...there is NO WAY we're going to win." Aww, it's nice to see new kids getting a chance to play.

Barack Obama is holding court at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and half of Hollywood has joined him to get liberal with it for CHANGE! Yeah, I know John McCain picked some ex-beauty queen as his vice, but that was such a ploy to get the female/sensitive ponytail vote. When's the last time YOU saw Geraldine Ferraro anywhere, huh?

Jessica Alba is there, clouding Denver with her cranky stank! Rosario Dawson! Fergie! Sheryl Crow! Old hottie Susan Sarandon! Jamie Foxx! I wouldn't brag about that one.

It's bad, though, that I mainly tune into the DNC to see what Michelle Obama's wearing, huh? I'm really all about the issues.

All of those damn bleeding heart liberal pinko commie celebs will be descending on Denver this week for the Democratic National Convention. All of the stars (well, not all, I don't think Ted Nugent is a Dem) will be there to support presidential candidate Barack Obama and his newly announced running mate Joe Biden. The list includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Rosario Dawson, Kanye West, and your spiritual guru and the only woman who can face off with Angelina Jolie in the struggle to supplant God - Oprah Winfrey.

Please. They're just going to score the good drugs.

There's going to be all sorts of events. J.Lo and her fat, allegedly triathlon-ready ass will be hosting an event for the Children's Defense Fund. Her ex Ben Affleck will be stumping for Paralyzed Veterans. There's going to be a big environmental concert at Red Rocks with Sheryl Crow and Dave Matthews. Cancer fighter Fran Drescher will address a caucus on women's health issues. Fall Out Boy and Kanye West will be giving concerts, as well.

So Hollywood will be transplanted to Colorado for the week.

Oh, and Oprah won't be speaking at all. She's graciously allowing her (stooge) favorite politician to bask in the spotlight, according to lesbian lover Gayle King. I swear Oprah's the reason Hillary didn't make it. Why doesn't she just run for Empress of Everything and get it over with?

No, he's keeping Michelle. I meant his running mate! Presidential candidate and Scarlett Johansson penpal Barack Obama has chosen Delaware senator Joe Biden is now in the running to be our next vice-president. The announcement was made via 3 AM text message. Politics via Gossip Girl!

Sorta gay comedic actor Chris Kattan has finalized his separation from his wife of two months, Sunshine Tutt. He should have kept her for that hot name alone. At least he's free now to score dudes. Or goats. Or whatever it is he's into. I can't tell. You?

Remember how Donald Trump said he was going to prevent Ed McMahon from losing his house? Yeah, it was all just words! Filthy lies, really! Another buyer purchased Ed's house and saved it from foreclosure. Trump is a damn liar! With a bad skypiece on his head!

The BET Awards were created to celebrate minorities in the entertainment business, and many of those honored took the opportunity to celebrate the first black Presidential nominee. Alicia Keys accepted her Best Female R&B Artist award saying, ""I want to dedicate this award to the end of the word can't. That word is dead, we don't know that word. Obama, y'all."

Kanye West received his second Best Male Hip-Hop artist award, and shared another with rapper-producer T-Pain. T-Pain came into the evening with 5 nominations, the most of any artist.

My favorite highlight of the night? Al Green took home the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, surprising the audience saying, "You've been so faithful, I should at least let you see my eyes."

The 75-year-old singer took off his sunglasses before launching into his biggest hit, "Let's Stay Together."

Scarlett Johansson and Barack Obama are friends to the end. Apparently, Scarlett and our newest Democratic presidential candidate are e-mail buddies. Reports say that the two frequently exchange electronic communication. Oh shit, is Scarjo going to influence policy if he wins?

Scarlett is a tireless campaigner for Obama. She's appeared in viral videos for him, hosted fundraisers, and even joked to the press that they're engaged. Uh huh. Michelle Obama better take off her pumps and earrings and get ready to bust this big-tittied bitch's ass!

Scarjo does have her misgivings about how it could look for him.

"Even I'm wary of celebrity endorsements," Johansson she said on Friday. "I don't want to seem like I'm holier than thou. We all have the same right to vote and, especially in this technical age where we all can broadcast our opinions, we all have the opportunity to entice others to vote." But, she adds, "if the spotlight is on me, I might as well try to direct it on things and causes that I believe in."

The National Ledger is speculating that this is some kind of Marilyn Monroe/JFK thing, to which I say - HOT! This race needs some spice!

Oh, and if this means Scarjo's engagement to Ryan Reynolds is off, then I am more than available to be a shoulder for his rockhard abs to cry on.

Barack Obama visited the ladies of The View and they had him explain how exactly it was that he was related to Brad Pitt. Obama told them, "I guess we're ninth cousins removed or something," and when he tried to play it humble by saying, "I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool," the ladies begged to differ. Barbara Walters informed him that before he came on stage, all The View ladies decided that he was, "very sexy-looking." Well, since it was Barbara, it was "vewy sexy-wooking."

Everyone had a good laugh, except for Whoopi Goldberg, who started nodding her head, "no," as soon as Barbara got ready to dish to Barack just what a hottie she thought he was. Oh Whoopi, you need to stop pretending this is a real news show and just let the other ladies paint your nails and braid you hair, like you know they're dying to do.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother. Actually, neither one of these guys is heavy. They both look pretty trim to me and also, neither are brothers, but as it turns out they might be related. The New England Historic Genealogical Society revealed the result of research that showed that there is a distant family connection between Barack Obama and Brad Pitt.

The research also showed that the three presidential hopefuls, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain are all distantly related to one another. Man, this country needs to get out more.

Why do I feel like the Hillary Clinton doll would be less cuddly? Here's the new Barack Obama plushy doll. There's probably a lot more political humor to be made here but I'll leave it to the comment board. You can buy the Obamakinz doll here for $16.95. But check it out - Democratic presidential candidate nominee Barack Obama's going to be on The View!

Obama will appear on the March 28 episode, probably to follow up on damage control in relation to his pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright's inflammatory remarks on race.

In a speech addressing the issue on Tuesday, Obama called for us to not "retreat into our respective corners" when it comes to race in this country.

"The fact is," he said in his speech, "that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our Union that we have yet to perfect."

True. This country isn't exactly the melting pot everyone wanted. This isn't good enough for that pinhead Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The View co-host has her head so far up her ass that she can see out of her own mouth.

"To say that he has just now distanced himself, concerns me because I think that they have a long-standing relationship," she said on The View earlier this week.

Hasselback isn't a pinhead because she found fault with Obama's speech. She's a pinhead because she's a pinhead. Water = wet. Fire = hot. Elisabeth Hasselbeck = pinhead. One of her kids is going to be a gay Satanist. Mark my words.

If Hilary Clinton had a video like this, who do you think would participate other than Barbra Striesand?
