I love Obama! He has fans even here in Brazil! That’s amazing! Well, Obama is amazing… He came to Brazil last year and I remember everyone was going crazy!! He and Michelle and the kids were so nice :)
Julia Roberts has huge nostrils!
Obama is a puppet…god riddance
@Brazilian: We love him too here in Europe :).
HE JUST WANTS YOUR VOTES SO HE CAN CONTINUE KISSING THE GLOBALISTS’ ASSES AND MAKE A NEW WORLD ORDER.
Ugh, I hate that fake smile of his.
I agree he wants the votes of celebrity fans. Pathetic
No picture of Obama w/ Alexis Bledel?!
These latest meet & greet w/ the Pres were most if not all: TV stars minus Jeremy Renner; he’s already an acclaimed actor w/ box-office movieS already plus the incoming hit. The Bourne Legacy.
While Real Presidents honor our Veterans on D-Day…the dog eating Kenyan with the fake BC and SS is partying with Hollywood and flying BonJovi on Air Force One on our effin dime.
Of course Brazil loves aStealth Communist, that hands them a check of TWO Billion of our hard earned money to drill for oil, so that we can be their “best customers” , but won’t drill here.
what is the point in this? Shouldn’t he be more focused on the war/economy/health care than having a photo op with celebrities?
Obama is the best thing that happened to the US in a very long time. Unfortunately, US citizens are not going to acknowledge this fact until some dumb republican reclaims the white house and maybe starts a homosexual genocide.
Obama is good, he’s not a miracle worker. Once people start accepting that they might actually lead a happy life.
Jared, it is called “Ian Somerhalder” not “Somerholder”
ian should thank vampire diaries … 4 yrs ago he was completely left out . And young talent ? that is balls
I live in the South, I am white and in my 40′s. Nobody polls me and my friends and we all love our president!
Seriously guys, why all the hate? He took time off his BUSY schedule to meet those actors. So there are 364 days letft to care about health care/ economy/war. Wether he is trying to get votes or not – that’s politics. The point is he shows interest in the country’s young talents which is imho also an important part of his work. What’s the point of being the president without knowing the cultural situation? They all look happy to get the chance of shaking hands. So chill, please?!
Ron Paul 2012. You people don’t know what you’re missing. Obama is too hollywood.
@FUO: What you said.
Interesting,..if you check a negative comment, it does not register. If you check a positive comment, it registers – efficiently skewing public perception of the percentage of detractors versus suppoorters.
I didn’t realize this was MSNBC – and I’m writing in Ron Paul, ftr.
Shouldn’t he be like saving the United States of America instead of hobnobbing with so-called celebrities?
I wouldn’t necessarily consider Jeremy Renner or Ian Somerhalder or Jared Leto as ‘young Hollywood’.
So THIS is YOUNG Hollywood????
Jeremy Renner, Ian Somerhalder, Josh Radnor, Jared Leto??
LMFAO!
Obama’s a famewhore.
there is little difference between any Republican president and BO
@WICKED WENCH: you do understand this is just a celebrity blog right? loll
key phrase “took time out of his busy schedule.” what a nice gesture of obama!
There were two fundraisers the night before too, lots of talent, of all ages, there and bigger names too, and good for them. Obama is worth supporting.
I’m so lucky I’m not American so I don’t have vote for either. It’s like trying to pick the lesser of two evils.
Then again, we have David Cameron as a Prime Minister.

@LINDSAY LOHAN WILL WIN OSCAR: @LINDSAY LOHAN WILL WIN OSCAR: i think your name alone shows how much of a joke you are….
I was actually a fan of some of the celebs on the list, but this is just sad. How can you willing interact with someone that’s responsible for the continued deaths of innocent civilians and children with drone attacks? The land of hypocrisy and home of the greedy.
These are not the talented open-minded artists of decades ago. Obama is talking to little obedient ladder climbing corporate HOs.

The country is in better shape than is has been in a LONG time. Thanks to our President Obama, who has done a far more than could be expected considering the mess he inherited from Bush. But we all knew from the jump it would take some time to clean up Bushes mess. AND he has pulled out of Iraq, and is pulling out of Afghanistan.

No, you are wrong. The thing is, those who love our President far exceeds those who don’t. This is why he gets all the approval of the blog and others. Face it. People love this man, our President Obama.
“pulled out of Iraq”-150 thousand highly paid contracors and private military (our tax dollars)remain in the largest embassy (small city,built with our tax dollars) in the world to protect the oil fields at taxpayer expense while we pay $4.00/gal. good job Obummer
We Love Obama!
@Jane Patton: I don’t know what you country you live in but I’m sure its not America. Bush mesh? wow people are still holding on to that excuse. Why don’t you look at Obamas mess first and then decide who to vote for, because the country is going to need a strong president to right Obamas mistakes.
@…:
Obama has had 3 years to correct what took Bush 8 years to destroy. I believe Jane & many others, including myself, have looked at the facts & decided who we trust to fix this country.
And this has what to do with doing your job! Poser
TO the the people here who do not know, want to slam him for running afgter Hollywood, you have no case.
Any Pres. Democrat runs after Hollywood fo0r funding.
Any Pres GOP runs after the Coungtry Music entertainers. Hollywood supports the Dems. CM supports the GOP. Your commnet about BonJovi…well, Presidents Bus, both of them, have ahd Reb McIntire at their beck and call. Didn’t Romney show up last night at the CMT Awards?
@somewhere in europe:
Serioulsy? A homosexual genocide?
Dianna Agron <3
@TheRealMe: If you honestly think that Obama has been trying to fix Bush’s mistakes I think your looking into the wrong facts. Hypothetically speaking the sad thing is that as bad of a president Bush was, America would be in a better position today if Bush had stayed in office another three years instead of Obama. I’m sure Obama will offer more empty promises to keep himself in office. But that’s okay considering most of his “political supporters” are actually “fans” of his personality/celebrity and could care less what he does politically.
There are still people who support Bush? Unbelievable!
Was he out here to go on yet another talk show as well? The prez has denegrated the office more than any other in recent history. And he has concrete feet, when it comes to honoring those that died for Our country. Me thinks His country is the USS of A. How many more things will be banned in the guise that government knows best. How many more governors and states rights will he and his surrogates go after? How many times will he go around congress and how many more bills will he sign on a Friday evening at midnight?
Are you better off now then you were three years ago???????
Stop using class warfare and social re-engineering as your Demonic campaign strategy Barry, it’s so 1939 of you and you weren’t even born yet. Well, the guy whose social security number you have was, but you weren’t.
I wonder when he will start the next war?
U.S. economists and the Federal Reserve acknowledge the economy is in a recovery today, while Bush drove the economy into a recession. The stock market (Dow Jones) is up four thousand points since 2008, the auto industry was rescued, and unlike our trade partners in Europe, several of which have slid into a recession (UK for one,) our economy continues to recover from the declines of 2008. Actual facts, if you ever bothered to read any news. Since Republicans criticized Carter over his handling of the economy for years (decades) after he left office, it is reasonable and understandable that Bush still comes under fire for his mistakes. And please stop making up things (aka lying) about Obama’s supporters and their reasons for doing so, since many entertainers have stated they believe in particular policies he has enacted (end of DADT, health care reform, environmental policies, etc.)
Nash Doubt – crazy talk. Get some rest.
Republicans like Hollywood so much that they actually voted for an actor to become president.
Jeremy Renner?? young hollywood?? ok probablyclint eastwood is young hollywood too
you should be proud of Obama. I’m from Iran and the president of my country is a shame.
wish Obama was our president. :-(
Yeah, Obama, yeah; we love him! He is like totally cool, rock star, we love him all over the world. Yeah, Obama, greatest president ever in the history of the presidency.

The real ME
Fix what, what has Obama done that was to fix some defect that Bush supposedly did.
The worst drag on the economy and business hiring is Obamacare, Obama passed Obamacare becuase HE wanted to have some European government controlled healthcare and he passed it against the majority of public opinion, and not ONE republican out of 230, while over 100 democrats voted for the Iraq war that they turned against less then a year later.
Obama did “Stlumlus” a trillion dollar spending bill that bloated government and hampered the private sector, only one republican vote of 230 , while every democrat voted for both bills.
Obama and democrats had complete control of the Senate, House Presidency for over 2 years and passed everything they wanted, unlike Bush who had to always get 15 to 20 democrat votes, and that’s why Obama has added 6 trillion in debt in 4 years, more then every President combined and that’s why Obamacare is at the Supreme Court and why the Stimulus didn’t keep unemployment under 8% like Obama promised, and why unemployment has been a record of over 8% for 39 consecutive months and why America in in greater debt, joblessness and in a worse economy then when Obama walked into the White House.
Sam – - “the worst drag on the economy” is the European debt crisis (and even China is going through a slowdown.) One of our trade partners, Britain, slid back into a recession. CNN, Fox, CBS, ABC, etc. all have reported on the impact this crisis has had on the U.S. economy. Bush also signed a stimulus bill in Feb. 2008. The debt rose nearly $5 trillion under Bush, and regardless of who won in 2008, the debt was going to continue to rise, because of our war on terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the need to steer the country out of a recession. Millions of jobs have been added, and the unemployment rate went up 4% points before Bush left office when it was near 8%, and that’s about the same rate now. Again, refer back to the impact of the European debt crisis. Lastly Obamacare is similar in many aspects to what was enacted by Romney, and even Republicans acknowledged there was a need to reform health care. Having millions of people without insurance, and getting emergency care, has cost us all even more money (an hidden “tax” for us all.) Or would you just prefer 50 million people be denied all access to any hospital or any health care services that require insurance (an U.S. Health and Human Services statistic from 2010)?
@Fran: Sorry, that is a “no sale”. This was all about his re election campaign and nothing else. Obama could care less what any of those actors had to say. This was all about fundraising for his second term. Obama is either throwing dinner parties for Hollywood elites or he is out on the golf course. His daily schedule usually has nothing on it. It is sad for the American people because they were duped into believing in him as a leader.
Hoping to see Fred Willard and Johnny Galecki hosting the next Obama fundraising dinner. The President will be in such good hands.
