Barack Obama's potential bid for the presidency apparently has the support of some of the most famousand influential people in the world.
A news release sent out today by www.draftobama.org organizers stated that George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey and Warren Buffet are among the "Barack Stars."
DraftObama.org, is the nation's leading grassroots movement to encourage Illinois Senator Barack Obama, a 1979 Punahou graduate, to run for President in 2008. The Web site organizers announced today the launch of an "Honorary Celebrity Members" class for the Draft Obama movement.
The list can be found at http://www.draftobama.org/celebrities. The site offers a running tally of the celebrities who have said or strongly implied they would support Barack Obama for president.
"It's not often you get Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Pastor Rick Warren, and George Clooney on the same list. That just shows the incredible ability of Senator Obama to inspire some of the most famous and respected Americans alive today," said Ben Stanfield, DraftObama.org founder. "By compiling this list of celebrity supporters in one place, we hope to showcase that ability in the clearest possible fashion and to encourage Americans of all backgrounds to learn more about Senator Obama."

What are Obama's views on abortion? I haven't heard him talk about that . . . or pretty much anything else.

It will be interesting to see how this issue plays out. I think Giuliani is pro choice? The Supremes are one vote away from overturning Roe v. Wade. The next prez could replace Ginsberg or Stevens, both liberals, and probably the two most likely to go in the next four to six years.

The guy is a jellyfish made of putty.
He's charismatic, but lacks any verifiable leadership credentials.
We've already had enough of that the past 14 years.
Plus, his name sounds like "Osama", i.e., Bush's boogeyman.
