Likening Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama to a political “trailblazer,” singer Barbra Streisand has become the latest Hollywood celebrity to join the Obama campaign bandwagon, switching from her past support of Sen. Hillary Clinton.
“Barack has awakened in many of us the notion that we can again be hopeful, enabling us to believe that we are capable of lifting our brothers and sisters out of poverty, of providing quality education for all our children, of ending this unjust war in Iraq and bringing our troops home 
safely,” Streisand wrote on Tuesday in a posting on her Web site, http://www.barbrastreisand.com/.
“He’s reminded us ‘yes we can’…we can make the transition from fossil fuels to green energy; we can take care of our elderly and make sure that good healthcare is not just a perk for a few, but a right for every man, woman and child,” she said. ”We are experiencing not just a presidential campaign, but a movement; a movement of inspired young people who have been cynical about politics for too long.”
Since narrowly defeating Clinton at the end of the U.S. primary elections in June, Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, has picked up numerous endorsements. Clinton, a U.S. Senator from New York, has appeared with him in a show of Democratic party unity. Last week, Obama held a fundraiser in Los Angeles that raised some $4 million to $5 million, and several Hollywood stars such as Dennis Quaid and Samuel L. Jackson were there.
Streisand, of course, is a major Hollywood celebrity and fundraiser for Democrats. Yet, celebrity endorsements have a mixed track record in helping candidates, the experts say. Republican candidate Sen. John McCain also has celebrity endorsements including from actors Sylvester Stallone and Robert Duvall.

I think Babbs deserves Obama if she back him…yuck
- Posted by KathiNo wonder her initials are BS. She spews it and believes it.
- Posted by StephanieThis old woman needs to take a seat and keep her mouth shut…….we don’t care what Bab’s has to say……
- Posted by hadenoughBabbling Babs backs Barack. Sozialists of a feather propagandize together.
- Posted by Jerome K.Who cares what this elitist left wing whacko thinks. She is one of those who defines equality as “spreading the misery” aka Socialism while she and the rest of the elites rule from on high and feed us, the unwashed, the crumbs. She can fly a private jet but we get bikes. The hypocrisy of the left is mind boggling.
- Posted by Bruce“perks for a few”
- Posted by WizNow that’s HOLLYWOOD !!
I’m confused, who cares who Streisand supports. If I remember correctly during the 04 elections Babbs said if Bush won she would become a canadian citizen. What this means, unless shes a liar, she is not a US citizen and cant vote, so who cares about her opinion.
- Posted by JohnWho cares?
- Posted by SteveWho in their “Right Mind” could possably think “Obama” is the answer? Goes to prove she still stands for “B.S.” and nothingthat really will help this country..Remember she was going to move in the last election..
- Posted by gus hoeflingGus Hoefling
Every democrat I have seen run since John Kennedy has promised to wipe out poverty, and it never happens! They say they will provide a quality education for our kids, and it gets worse!!!
- Posted by DarrellNow they have promised to develop a replacement for fossil fuel, which is good since they have weened us off fossil fuel by raising prices!!!
I can’t wait to see the fossil fuel trick!!! The sad thing is, their uneducated base forgets about the promises made, and these losers are made into heros after they have failed!!! Incredible.
Who cares?
- Posted by vicki joOh that she would leave the country no matter who wins.
- Posted by ameliaThis woman thinks way too much of herself.
Good Gravy!! Now I know I do not want anything to do with Obama. Streisand is for him, than I am against him. Anything she would vote for cannot be right. The Hollyweirdos are going to back him, we are in trouble if he wins.
- Posted by Ruth DBabs wants us to live like peasants while she lives like a Queen. Do as I say, Not as I do. I hope Hollywood does go in strike, Give us a rest!!
God Bless America. Keep us Free, God Bless McCain!
Good for Barbra. But could anyone have ever doubted that she would support Obama in the aftermath of the primary? Ignore the snide comments from the fascists Barbra. They excel at snide and little else.
- Posted by BobbyThanks for the update. The choice of style over substance, once again, is the order of the day. As America wakes up to the news that Ms. Streisand has endorsed Senator Obama, the citizens of this country can move on with the rest of their lives.
- Posted by sethWho cares what this bubblehead has to say. She’s your typical limousine liberal who says more than she knows. Which ain’t much.
- Posted by TimmehI thought she left the country after the 2004 election. I guess she flip flopped on that also. Babs is tormented by her on irrelevance.
- Posted by john ryderI feel a great deal more comfortable now. With the likes of Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon and George Clooney coming out in favor of Barack Obama it will surely lead to John McCain having a real chance to win the election.
- Posted by George StoeWHAT A SHAME THAT MOST OF THE THOSE THAT ARE LIBRAL, ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDIA, HAVE VERY LITTLE MORALS. OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO BACK A PERSON WHO BELIEVES AS THEY DO. BO, IS TRYING DESPERATELY GET THE EVANGELICAL VOTE OR SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES, WHO HAVE HIGH MORALS AND TRULY BELIEVE IN CHRISTIAN VALUES, LIKE GAY MARRIAGE, PRO-LIFE,WHICH RESPECTS THE RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN CHILD. STREISAND, HAS MORE RESPECT FOR ANIMALS THAN CHILDREN. NO WONDER SHE BACKS THE OBOMINATION CAMPAIGN. BO, IS SUCH A LIAR AND A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. PRETTY SOON HE WILL ROLL HIS WIFE UNDER,UNLESS SHE COMPLETELY CHANGES TO SUIT HIS NEEDS, HOW DARE HER,BE A CONTROVERSIAL FIGUER TO HIS CAMPAIGN.
- Posted by CMHinsleyBabbs-the ultimate political Air Head
- Posted by MikeAmericaWow! Is she going to charge $750/ticket at her next concert so she can do an Obama sketch? Just shut up and sing. Or better yet, if this country is so bad, get out and don’t make money off of hard-working Americans anymore. Question is, who wants her? Maybe she can chip in on an island with everyone else that threatened to move.
- Posted by ChristineIs she still alive?
- Posted by JillOh isn’t that just so wonderful, a Hollywood Elitist supports O’bama. Vomit, barf , hurl, puke.
This is reason to vote against this empty suit just because the beautiful Hollywood Socialists support him.
PEOPLE, Democrats are Socialists. The left wing freaks call Republicans Nazis but we know they are not because the Nazis were National Socialists and the Democrats are Socialists.
- Posted by kmpkJust how “green” is this screwballs mansion? Speaking of fossils, how is that moon-bat of a husband you’re married to, and is he still a 9/11 conspiracy boob?
- Posted by JimMBabs, shut up and….uh, just shut up.
Well, gee, this is no surprise but really, who cares? Frankly, I cannot understand how anyone with even half a brain could vote for Obama.
- Posted by DawnTypical Liberal socialist elitist..spewing the propaganda of “Yes we can” to the peasants…what this really means is yes we can dumb you down and keep you poor. Vote liberal democrat and we will take money from those big bad rich people out there and give you some. Come and feed from the trough of desolation!!!
- Posted by Walter SteeleI thought B.S. and Baldwin were shacked up in Canada ?
- Posted by RohanWho dug her up to let her spout this elitist liberal crap. Can somebody please screw the lid down again, this is becoming neuseating.
She is just too stupid to realize her support could really screw up Barrack’s chance of sitting in the Oval Office.
- Posted by Bill RolleriAnother hollywood millionaire for Obama no surprise here. I wonder if Obama will make an exception and allow oil drilling in hollywood so they can at least have fuel for all thier mansions and learjets all the while the rest of the nation walks.
The democrats are such hypocrites they hate corporate CEOs and business owners that acutally earn their wages and they love their rich people the hollywood elite, the trial lawyers and charlatains like Gore who get rich off the global warming hype.
McCain 2008 !!
- Posted by AFSGTSAMI’m w/ Vicky Jo. “Who Cares?” And, remember that the oil ‘mess’ was started by a Dem - Jimmy Carter - by taking the dollar off the gold standard. And for the next inexperienced Senator running, we’re gonna get change alright. And that change may not be what we’re thinking it is. Another rich lawyer trying to be prez. If you want change, put a plumber in office. You’ll get change.
- Posted by miltonLOL! Well, I wasn’t going to vote for him anyway, but having the endorsement of Barbra just kind of drives that home for me. I didn’t need her to make it known to me that he is a poor choice, but it sure feels good to know I still disagree with that idiot woman!! Whoo hoo!! Thanks for clinching the deal, Babs!! LOLOLOLO!!!
- Posted by DeaI am SOOO utterly surprised she would back Obama!! Oh my, I thought she might back McCain!!!…………give me a break!
- Posted by Paul HBarbara Streisand has always been the epitomy of ignorant Hollywood. It’s no surprise that she backs Barrack - she is, and always has been an idiot.
I just gained great respect, however, for Robert Duvall and Sylvester Stallone. Unlike most of Hollywood, they have the brains to understand that Barrack would be counter-productive to the potential this nation has.
- Posted by DillonWell thank heaven she finally made up her mine, now I know just how to vote… I just glad she told us before November because I would hate to wait that long, before I made up my mind.. thanks B.S.
- Posted by LJWho in the heck cares what Babs thinks about anything. I personally doubt there is any brain function occuring between her ears.
- Posted by JImmy CarterWhere is the Dems exit strategy for that war on poverty they started in 1964? Since poverty is worse than it was then we should demand an immediate withdrawl.
- Posted by BillWStreisand is a leftist Bolshevik. Obama just lost my vote.
- Posted by Dennis DI was seriously considering Mr. Obama as a possibility, but, since “Babbs” has endorsed him I most likely will look elsewhere.
- Posted by Carl BurrisBarbra’s the ballgame. It’s over!!!!!
- Posted by LewWho cares?
- Posted by MarieWow!! This is news! babs supporting a liberal candidate. next thing we’ll here is “the pope is catholic.” this is just more of the consistent crap the libs spew every election, better education, healthcare, an end to poverty, blah,blah,blah. they had control of the house for the majority of most of our lives and have screwed up a lot more than they fixed. adding an inexperienced president to the incompetent lot that is congress now will guarantee only worse times ahead. thanks again barb, you’ve once more reminded me how much you really suck.
- Posted by HideousI can’t wait until election day this November and we have selected Sen. Obama as our next president. as Babs sings it so well, “Happy Days are (really) here again”!!!
- Posted by jon609Ms. B.S. needs to go to Canada and shut her mouth. No one cares. As far as “hope and change”, ending poverty, blaa blaa blaa, this has been the promise of every politician and it has gotten worse…Obama wants to do this yet he is surrounding himself with advisors from the Clinton and Carter administration…What a bunch of hooky! If he gets in, we will no longer have the strongest military in the world…not a good idea considering what’s going on in the middle east. Think of the consequences of his action. Weak military, highest taxes in history, biggest government in history. We will ALL live in poverty. As far as taxing the rich, they are the people who provide jobs…higher taxes, more costly goods, slow down of purchasing, jobs lost. I can’t believe people don’t see through the Bull!
- Posted by karenJust one more of the thousands of reasons to not even consider this Marxist fool for Commander in Chief.
- Posted by MarkBabs, do us all a favor and move your posterior to Europe where you belong.
Now you went and sprung a surprise on us. I thought she was going to support Bob Barr!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn’t want her name associated with my campaign, unless she was singing only!
- Posted by Bill“The kiss of death” Thanks Barbra
- Posted by spider razonThats it for me…I will definetly be voting for McCain.
- Posted by pancanfinfanLast time I checked people who have healthcare pay for it, therefore it is not a perk!!!
- Posted by MattShe is inspired by “hope”, “change”, and “believe”?! That don’t mean Squat around here! We want “Facts”, “Details”, and “Experience”: Three things that he has not provided!
- Posted by PappioneIf Obama wins and raises everyones taxes then who will have the money to buy her concert tickets, cd’s, downloads or go to see any movies? Then what will these Hollywood bozos do when their incomes start drying up? Probably blame Bush I guess.
- Posted by BillDoesn’t this woman own giant houses with big carbon footprints? And, she doesn’t want electric windmills placed in the ocean spoiling her view from all her beach front property? Maybe she should vote Republican. Is she going to meet with the big O at a pricey hotel to get the world view?
- Posted by allen antrimWhat I find funny is these celebs actually think that they are helping the people they endorse.
- Posted by mitchsnOnce again Barbra proves she’s a person of truth, vision and common sense. This 8 year national nightmare under Bush is soon coming to an end. On Inauguration Day, the majority of our country will say to President Obama, “Hello Gorgeous”!!!
- Posted by Nicky ArnsteinI had heard that she was endorsing Bob Barr.
- Posted by TomloukySTOP these negative comments about Babs! Don’t you people understand she and the other Hollywood elite are not only looking out for our best interests but the rest of the world as well. She understands that if Barack Obama is elected, we won’t drill for oil or build nuclear plants or produce oil from coal. As Harry Reid said, coal and oil are ‘dirty’ and bad for our environment. We may pay 10 or 15$ for gas and heating oil but we will save the planet from Climate Change. Bless her and the other liberals for looking out for our best interests!
- Posted by Love LiberalsBarbara Striesand should just pack her bags and move. Barb is a Liberal and she will never be happy in the United States.
Liberals are the most miserable human beings in the world, what are they doing in America? Americans believe in right and wrong. That kills the Liberals.
- Posted by Rick MorrowI can’t wait to fly my flag half mast for Babs!!!!!!!!!
- Posted by lwayneHope, Change, Believe! Hope they don’t destroy us completly and believe we’ll have more than just some “change” to spend. These are most arrogant, “high mind”, my crap doesn’t stink, and do as I say people I have seen in my short 60+ years. TAX - TAX is all you hear.
- Posted by JimI almost forgot–didn’t she also promise to leave the country when Bush was elected?
- Posted by allen antrimto Milton: Actually, it was Nixon who took the dollar off the gold standard in 1971, but that does not preclude the fact that Carter was the worst president we have had in modern times. If there is anyone who wants to repeat those horrible years, a vote for Obama will almost guarantee it.
- Posted by stromboliYou folks are ALL idiots. Babs is the bomb and Obama is the man. He’s going to win and be the next Prez, so GET USED TO IT!!!!!
- Posted by homeboyClever move. Babs secretly intends to write in Cindy Sheehan so she endorses Obama and delivers the Kiss of Death.
- Posted by Ralph CramdenThank God I found out who Babbs is backing. I could have made the wrong choice. Now if I could only find out whom Gary Coleman, Vanilla Ice, Burt Reynolds, Andrew Dice Clay, B Arthur, the Olson Twins and Lynday Lohan are backing, I will finally have correct candidate to vote for.
- Posted by slamin'456Will she sing this for the Anti-American Marxist if he gets elected?
Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I’d stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother, they’re here.
Isn’t it rich?
- Posted by 02Z06VetteIsn’t it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
who cares what she says - tell her to go on strike and stay there.
- Posted by JimBS Loves BO - What a Shocker - “Happy Birtday…Mr. President… PHEW!!!! - El Stink-o BABS….
- Posted by TruthhurtsObama has captured the imagination of Americans. Sadly, imagination is all that’s required to endorse him. He talks about change and hope- but without the application of experience, knowledge, and truth, all you can do is HOPE the CHANGE he brings is better than what we have now. It is foolish and dangerous to assume that change would be for the better.
- Posted by LeftyWow, since when did all the over-the-hill anti-american bull-sh#% spewing hollywood liberals all decided to start looking like Joan Rivers.
Who cares what she thinks and why is this even “NEWS”
- Posted by ChuckLove Liberals (3:04 pm GMT),
- Posted by PappioneYou’re still in college, possibly high school, aren’t you? And, if by some chance, you are older than that; Grow up! Learn how the “real world” works! Learn how the economy works! Learn how those gas prices that you are talking about won’t exist because if they even double what they are at right now, it will only be chaos out there! People are hurting right now! Family and friends of mine are pinching pennies already: They all made decent wages as of 18 months ago! If that “flip-floping” nut-job gets elected, you are going to lose more of your paycheck to his semi-socialistic/semi-communistic “vision” of America. I make decent wages for what I do, but even I am starting to hurt from this economy! Then we have people who share your philosophy out there that want to make me hurt more? Get out of you Underoos and get current with reality before you open your mouth again!
Oh what a shock! Babs backs the liberal candidate…is the world coming to and end? She obviously has been put under the Obama spell that he will save the world. She mentions “perks”…hey Babs, speaking of perks, when you leave your multi-million dollar mansion in Bevery Hills to hop in to your stretch limo which takes you to those Hollywood parties, why don’t you stop off in Compton and pick up a few under-priviledged people and bring them along with you so they can enjoy the perks you get. And give away those free gift bags that are worht $100K each to some people in the ‘hood.
Babs, you’re a phony like the rest of Hollywood.
- Posted by Nick C - NYCwho care about BS . this aging diva who is overated and greedy ( charging $200 for ticket for belting with her shrilly voice. ) . Like the rest of Hollywood phonies , she wants a young guy so good by BJ clinton and forget about HRC.The ordinary people does not care about her stupid and mindless opinion . she can have Obama for President. Obama the empty suit who claimed that the United states has 57 states. Is this what Harvard University producing nowadays. and by the way , someone owe to check the greatest orator amd the messiah Obama- it turns out that he just change some of the word from the speech of Mario cuomo.Isn’t that a plagiarishm? so how come the Reuter did not pick up on this or is this another pass for the annointed Obama? and the most scary think is the so call slogan “yes we can “- I heard from talk radio that this originate from the Irian terrorist president Mammoud Achmanijedad .Pretty scary isn’t it. it seems like Obama has the propensity to borrow from other peoples speech . Just like the title of his book the audacity of hope - which really come from the white hater preacher- jeremiah Wright.
- Posted by JanefanoiAnyone who gets an endorsement from Streisand immediately wears a virtual T-shirt emblazoned “ULTRA LIBERAL.” Obama really needed that at this point.
- Posted by Tom in VirginiaOne hopes that Streisand has hired a high school student to edit her postings on her web site, to avoid her past ignorance of spelling and grammar. (Or was she just enjoying some exotic substance while posting?)
Obama, experience you can believe in. (list accomplishments here)
- Posted by James XWow, it was refresing to read these comments. For a minute, I thought it mattered who Babs was supporting. Glad to know the majority agrees with me…who cares!
- Posted by SuzanneBarbara Big Nose constantly flaunts her tiny Hollywood intellect. Living in the arms of fabulous wealth and privilege, she want all to think that she is not for “the wealthy”, but for the “little people”.
- Posted by James XLike it was said, her initials are B.S.
I feel better now knowing who BS will support. She says “Barack has awakened in many of us the notion that we can again be hopeful…” Can ONE of these idiots tell me how higher taxes and a socialized government is HOPEFUL? What hope is there to go BACKWARD and become Canada or France? A word of advise to the Queen of Idiots, “SHUT UP, climb back into your mansion and SHUT UP!”
- Posted by AnneI BELIEVE that Babbs is right. We do need a CHANGE. We need to CHANGE all the things that are the same. I BELIEVE in HOPE. HOPE that CHANGE will prevail and that all the things in need of HOPE will be CHANGED. CHANGE will invoke HOPE in America. And those with newly found HOPE and whom BELIEVE in CHANGE will CHANGE the direction of this country simply by HOPING to make a CHANGE in what we BELIEVE.
If anyone knows of a good socialist needing a speech writer lemme know.
- Posted by SteveI am still waiting for Pelosi and the Dem. congress to lower gas prices as promised before they were in power.
- Posted by BriWell, if there wasn’t already convincing evidence that Obama is bad for American you’ve got it now.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows these hollywood twits stand against the ideal of the Unites States and what it was founded on so the candidate they support is quite obviously the wrong candidate for this country.
McCain is bad too, but he isn’t Obama bad. Actually, Obama scares me more than Carter.
Funny - in the old days the politicians promised opportunity and the chance to succeed - but Obama, if you can’t succeed on your own he’s going to make sure the government (ie. We, the people) pay for your success.
Truly a sad state this country has come to for this emtpy suited wonder to actually be a viable, and apparently front running, candidate.
- Posted by DJHUp until the 20th century, singers and actors were considered the dregs of society. Only since modern media has the profession become lucrative. Why on earth would anyone consider the opinion of a person whose only qualification is they can sing or pretend well. (would you listen to the political views of any american idol contestant?)
- Posted by jackc21Name 5 things Obama will change and how will he accomplish them. Please provide details. Reaching across the aisle is not a means or idea on how to change things.
Change for changes sake is not what we need. Plenty of leaders have brought change and not always good change.
are less taxes good or bad?
Healthcare is not free. I wont mind if babs, sarandon and clooney are paying for it though. Make up for some of the trash they have inflicted on us at the movies. yentl alone is worth babs subsiized healthcare for california.
Sadly, the bastion of liberalism will continue to win the media attention, regardless of how lacking it is in substance, and the mob (aka gullible and equally ignorant Americans) will listen to it and vote the most liberal senator America has into office.
- Posted by PaulNow I can vote with a clear head for the Babs has spoken. Please take your dried up voice and just sing in the shower. No one cares who you vote for or what you stand for.
- Posted by CarlI love actors. Their job is to pretend to be someone else while someone films them. This, to them, somehow translates into their political opinions mattering.
- Posted by BobbyDI liked Ms. Streisand in What’s Up, Doc? when I saw it on TV as a kid. But she needs to keep quiet about politics. Obama is my choice for president and he’s most likely going to win. McCain is just too old. Obama is the future. But Ms. Streisand is only hurting Barack by supporting him in the media. Not helping. She’s pretty out of touch with regular Americans, just like the idiot in chief, George W. Bush. Obama in 2008!
- Posted by JaceSorry Steve, a “good socialist” is an oxymoron.
I just wonder why Streisand backing a Marxist is a worthy news story. WHo else could she possibly support.
Talk about a non-story.
- Posted by tytlThis is the main reason folks are flocking to Obama: http://wylfwt.com/home/files/images/mcca in_bush-hug-713122.png
- Posted by DuckI don’t want CHANGE. I don’t want you lefties to run my world for me. I want you all to leave me alone, and leave my country alone, too. I like America just the way it is. The only thing I want is for the government hacks to take a long vacation and get out of our personal lives. You are taking away our freedoms a little at a time, and we keep voting in these clowns. Obama is the next Mussolini and he has the chin to prove it.
- Posted by starzzguitarWow, old Barb is just full of sound bites, isn’t she! Hope, change, yes we can! Inspirational movement! Hoo boy. That socialistic half wit would make me run like the wind from anyone she endorsed.
- Posted by Glennawho is this old bag? never heard of her.. she thinks this barack guy can save the world? please!
- Posted by medmanWho Cares who Babs Supports??
- Posted by DanaBesides, I thought she moved to Canada after ole Dubya”W” was re-elected… at least she proclaimed & promised that she’ move to Canada.. Humm - What Happened??.. Did Canada not want her??)) I/We/ the U.S. does not want her either… especially now that she’s a run-of-the-mill, old, washed-up singer who never was all that great — unless you were to aske her herself…
I am a Streisand fan, just feel sad because of her choice. Still ove her, but I believe she should have stayed neutral, after all, Obama stole the nomination, and played many cards to achieve it. Sorry Babs, I don’t agree with you this time.
- Posted by Oscar PThis is a place for hate spewers. What a sorry bunch! So you don’t like Barbra’s politics. Who cares. She is supporting the right candidate. Like it or not. Obama 08!
- Posted by DarleneI’m a Barack supporter and wish to God BS wouldn’t endorse him. Anyone she endorses has to endure BS’s BS. Her vanity isn’t necessary in campaigns or elections. Go back to your hole and stop drawing unsolicited negative press, BS! Why is that these morons think they’re somehow significant because they can sing or act or play a sport? It’s because we (not me) put them on a pedestal and feed their egos. Wake up commoners! It’s time to take our country back from the Baldwins, Streisands, O’Donnells, and the rest of the kooks who think their 6 and 7-figure incomes entitle them to be heard over the masses.
- Posted by A. J.I thought she passed away several years ago..??))
Is this really all it takes to get a Blog on the front page of Reuters??… This Blog is comparable to Tabloid Junk !!
- Posted by DanaWhy are some people so disrespectful? Where is all this hate coming from. Geesh, if you for someone , support them , if not, don’t. Now I see why people say that Americans are mean.

The scary question is will I be forced to sit in this congregation!
- Posted by actualsunThank you Barbra for helping me to decided who to vote for. Now that you are backing Obama it’s clear to me that I need to vote for McCain. If you had picked McCain then I would vote for Obama.

- Posted by miamipress.net | miamipress.netIt’s quite apparent from the amount of traffic that this has generated that what Barbra Striesand has to say does matter to EVERY SINGLE ONE of you who continue to post.
- Posted by G.B.You know, the democrats lied- and admitted to lying- when they said they would pull the troops out of Iraq if elected in 2006. They knew they were lying at the time they put that statement out. And after almost 2 years of having control, they have done nothing- least of which would be to pull the troops out of Iraq.
They’re saying the same thing again- they’re gonna get them out of there. Why in anyones right mind would a person believe that hype, now? They lied then and they’re lying now on the hope that some people didn’t get the memo that they were lying at the time. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

- Posted by DeeringWhy are we supposed to care who the celebrities support? They are actors and actresses and that’s about it. Scary to think people may base who they vote for because of who a “celebrity” supports. I would like to think people have more going on in their lives and a little smarter than that!
- Posted by Kim PLiving in a very blue state, I’ve asked several unabashed Obama-lovers, “Why Obama?” I’m wondering if anyone can solve the mystery of this Obama craze. All I keep hearing are the same ‘buzz words/phrases’. “Hope” Umm, don’t we all? “Change” & “..good speaker..” Change WHAT? And I’m still waiting for him to actually SAY SOMETHING. “Future” Since when does marxism and socialism constitute a future? My future consists of WORKING HARD to fill my pockets with CHANGE, raising my family and HOPEfully not being taxed into oblivion. “Younger of the two…” So what? “1st black President.” This isn’t the freaking World Series here… The country isn’t going to embrace in one big collective cheer and yell, “Ahhh, finally, a black President!” Get real. I couldn’t care less what color he or any candidate is. I want to hear about experience and some actual plans of action, but I guess that’s asking too much. “Bush’s 3rd term…” Ahem, Carter’s 2nd term. Enough said.
The Oval Office is no place for affirmative action.
- Posted by ChrisEw. She’s so gross. But that aside, can any of you Obamassiah supporters list for me just one legislative accomplishment of his since being in office. JUST ONE! And giving rousing speeches does not constitute a legislative achievement… Hitler gave rousing speeches too. (This quality does not make a great leader.)
I’ll be standing by for the accomplishment data. Thanks.

Uumm, is this the same person who let their own mother live/die in a California poor house for years on end without lifting a finger to help her, in spite of her own ungodly wealth?
Thought so.
Well that settles it! Now I have no doubt who to vote for! If Barbara like Obama, I will vote John Mc Cain.
- Posted by rankMy God! Is she still alive? I feels like her grave opens up with every election. Why is it that people pay any heed to singers and actors? I honestly thought that she had left the country when GWB was elected.
- Posted by Johannes TrompI thought she promised to leave the country after Bush was elected. Whatever happened to that? Just proves she’s a typical democrat: all talk, no action.
- Posted by EverybodyLovesReaganChris,
I too have asked, and asked, and asked! Obama supporters have no valid reason for voting for him. NO ONE has been able to give me even 5 VALID accomplishments, he has achieved since become a Senator, that would qualify him to be considered Presidential material. I am like you, I do not care what color, race or religion a candidate is. I WANT TO KNOW HIS/HER QUALIFICATIONS.
- Posted by rankI wish Mike Meyers played babs in real life.
- Posted by Ha'veyWho is Barbara Streisand??
- Posted by HollywoodDarlene,
Here is your chance! Please give me 5 valid accomplishments Obama has made, since becoming a Senator, that qualifies him as a Presidential candidate?
- Posted by rankBeing Black is not valid. The promises he makes are not valid. I want to hear someone that supports Obama come forth with 5 or more VALID accomplishments! I ahve asked many before, and NO ONE has answered.
What do you expect from a high school dropout?
- Posted by SamGuess I know who I won’t be voting for this year!!Anyone or anything Barbra supports I will be sure not to support. Oh yeah, please put your money where your ugly mouth is by moving to another country
- Posted by Margaret SimmonsNow I know Barack is even more of a danger to America than I thought, If this moron likes him-wow we’re in deep doggy poo.
- Posted by Jimmy“Barack has awakened in many of us the notion that we can again be hopeful, enabling us to believe that we are capable of lifting our brothers and sisters out of poverty…”
What a laugh! When she says “we” she really means the federal government spending “our” tax dollars to keep welfare alive and kicking, while “she” hords her millions and lives behind security gates designed to keep out the very people that she feels so hopeful that “we” are now going to be capable of helping and that, apparently, she has been incapable of helping!!
I need a drink.
- Posted by T.B. BaxterWho cares - since when is BABS an authority on anything - she and the Balwins still live here don’t they and suck up whatever they can out of this country nop matter who’s in charge ?
- Posted by les faimanWell, any idiot has a right to their idiotic opinions…and Babs is certainly an idiot. Hey…I thought her and her loafer husband lived in Canada…!
- Posted by T.MockOld BS would be very surprised at what might happen if BO happened to be elected. First, whitey democrats will be on the outside looking in so BS will not be among the first tier friends of BO as she was with the clintons. The rich will be pitted against the dependent class so those like BS will be hated. The tax increases will hurt BS as much as the rest of us. BO supporters are not the ones that go to BS concerts so her entertainment appeal will go to zero. BS will be very angry in the long run.
- Posted by The Popeoh my gosh….Barbara speaks–I definitely dont listen–she is so far from reality that she needs to just stay at home. These tree hugging liberal hollywood types need to just shut up and go away-they think anyone takes them, remotely seriously…?
NO, people think you are a joke with your views. I used to LOVE your singing–but since you decided to use your status to express your crazy political agenda-I wouldn’t listen to you sing if you were the last singer on earth.The same goes with oprah, dixie chicks etc etc–you became famous for your voice and now it has cut your throat because you abused it.
- Posted by KKCStreisand has vowed to leave the country in previous elections and hasn’t lived up to her word. Does anyone remember the slogan “America: Love it or Leave it”? Go babs go!!
- Posted by CR - DallasLet’s “Hope” Barbara shuts up this time and doesn’t associate too closely to Obama She has a way of turning people off to candidates.
- Posted by Clinton JamesThat old bag would endorse Satan himself if he wore a Democrat Liberal tag. Does anyone care who she endorses?
- Posted by JOEL GOODMANIsn’t she as relevant as last week’s newspaper?
Even her voice is gone along with her senses.
and take that fat head A….Baldwin with you….oh, I, forgot, you’re still here?????????????????????
- Posted by S. CassidySend in the clowns?…she’s already here…why didn’t she leave the country like she said she would? Look at he responses Barb. Can’t you take a hint…nobody wants you at the party!
- Posted by MikeShe is just a great singing libtard nutcase! Who really cares what she has to say…..its all crap anyways.
She should just move to another country. Obviously she doesnt like this one!
- Posted by timtanYes we can - do anything! However, it shouldn’t take a President to make us aware of this fact. America has shown the world in 230 years we are the leading pioneers and seeds of innovation. People who believe a presidential candidate is the way to hope, prosperity, or change, have forgotten that government is by the people, for the people - change and hope exists in each citizen. No matter how appealing this anti-American elitist is or how much he complains about how nasty America is - think about his (and your) life and compare it to those around the world.
Stop letting elites, who don’t contribute anything to America but flatus, tell you how miserable you are, how unhappy you should be or how you should live your life. Enjoy America and all the glory it affords.
- Posted by Cognoscenti247Barbara Streisand is, or was, a fantastic musician and comic. She earned a lot of money for her efforts, and she worked hard for it.
- Posted by JubalI absolutely fail to see how her opinion is more important than mine, and why the puerile, self-serving, brainless media has to promote her, or any “celebrity” above the rest of the people in this country. Is it laziness, stupidity, or an attempt to manipulate the culture?
WHY did you even post such a story?! Barbra Streisand thinks she is superior to the rest of the planet and THINKS we value her opinion. I couldn’t possibly care less what this ignorant woman thinks! I’m not voting for Obama anyway, but to have her endorsement is like being stung with a hundred scorpions.
- Posted by JudyWHO CARES
- Posted by Tony FHey Obama Supporters….
I have put forth this challenge many times, and have yet to receive an answer. Most recently I asked Darlene on this post, and again NO ANSWER. Well, here goes again…
Here is your chance! Please give me 5 valid accomplishments Obama has made, since becoming a Senator, that qualifies him as a Presidential candidate?
- Posted by rankBeing Black is not valid. The promises he makes are not valid. I want to hear someone that supports Obama come forth with 5 or more VALID accomplishments! I have asked many before, and NO ONE has answered.
Weren’t you one of the knuckle dragging, Paleo-liberals who promised to leave the U.S. if Bush was elected??? Why are you still here?
- Posted by James XCould she not just stick to singing and acting?
- Posted by DianneI love RICH Democrats who tell us the Democrats will save us. No, they will bankrupt us, only Barbara will continue to have MILLIONS after the tax man cometh.
I remember Babs helping out in a soup kitchen once, she was serving soup to the homeless ( NY City) to show her compassion. Only thing is, she just lent her image to the event, not her $$$$ Millions$$$$, she just wanted to public to give your money.
The woman has no morals. During a recent concert, she stopped the music and started her DEMOCRAT rant, a paid patron stood up, told her to shut up and sing, they hadn’t paid for a political announcement, just singing. He was removed and throw out of the concert, no refund.
What a classy lady, do as I say, not as I do. Typical Democrat.
- Posted by Yellow DogI just followed her link in the story. There is no place to send comments, just order crap and hear her rants.
I’m sure 98% of any response she would receive would be negative.
- Posted by Yellow DogIdiot, fool, gullible. As far as “we” goes, I heard a lib caller on the radio the other day. Asked whether the government should bail out people who cannot pay their mortgages he replied, “yes, otherwise the taxpayers will have to…..” Duh!
- Posted by moronpoliticsAny we are supposed to be surprised by this ??? And where in the Constitution does it say that everyone has a right to healthcare ? How many sick people has she helped lately ? And lifting our poor brothers and sisters out of poverty ? Poverty and being “poor” is a state of mind - these people are broke and broke for a reason - they have not applied themselves at the level necessary to avoid being broker.
- Posted by JeffBabs is still as nutty as ever. If she suggested that we never vote for a reptile for presedent I would vote for the reptile.
- Posted by lschmidtSticking her nose in… oh heck never mind. If she reads this an breaths in we will al be out of air.
- Posted by rankWho cares? Apparently every one of you who took the time to post on this issue. If it didn’t matter to you, you wouldn’t have clicked on the article AND spent the time posting a comment.
1) For the record an Elite is someone who is the most accomplished person in his or her field. We have an elite military and the most elite scientists in the world. To call Senator Obama elite is to acknowledge that he is one of the best our country has to offer.
He and his wife worked hard for everything they have. They sacrificed “hanging out”, partying and being slackers to go to the library and study. Even with all their student loans, they went on to law school and were brilliant. Unlike George W. Bush, whom barely got anything higher than C’s in school and had to have his parents bribe the addmissions committee just to get his butt in. Taking the place of another student who was better and brighter. Bush’s only jobs in life also were given to him by his parents. He managed to bankrupt every company he ever took over. Being born with a silver spoon in your mouth allows you to be a slacker your entire life and still become president of the United States- a job previously reserved for an elite person.
Just because he was smarter than the average person and managed to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time is a reason to respect him not insult him. Republican Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is also an Elite person, he is only 36 years old and is the youngest person ever to be elected governor. He was elected secretary of health at the age of 24. They are both smart people with great judgement. I don’t hear any bashing of Governor Jindal by the media or blogs for his youth or “in-experience”.
Senator McCain is also an elite person. He excelled in the military and has also been an excellent senator, making a name for himself.
2) The reason that you are poor and have no jobs is due to the 7 years of republican mismangement. Bush and the republican congress have taken all the surplus from the country and washed it down the drain with nothing to show for it. After running out of money, they got credit cards from China and other countries and have run up the tab like a drunken sailor. Leaving our gengeration and our children’s generation with the burden of paying off the bill (plus interest) China now owns 25% of the U.S.A. That’s how you pay for a war costing a billion/WEEK and cutting taxes for 1% of the population. As you can see, getting C’s and D’s in math made Bush believe 1+1=7.
3) Contrary to popular delusions, any economist will tell you that you can’t live the rest of your life on credit cards, sooner or later your house, cars, and everything you own will be taken to pay off your debt, e.g. the united states of China.
A government is set up to collect taxes from the people and pay for their needs: fixing roads, paying for a military, paying employees, public transportation, police officers, public education etc.
If a government decides that the lowest paid workers in the country should pay 100% of taxes and the wealthiest 1% left alone, it not only gets bankrupted it becomes Russia after the soviet union fell apart with no jobs or food.
Trickle-down economics has been shown to be a failure both during the 80’s and during Bush’s 7-years. The income of CEO’s countinues to grow in leaps, while the income of their workers moves rapidly in the opposite direction. How many of you have been fired and paid millions of dollars as a parting gift?
Every time a CEO is fired, thousands of workers have to be laid off to pay for the ex-CEO’s parting “gift”. Lack of regulations in the businness world by republicans have lead up to crazy costs in gas, the housing crisis, poor control in the FDA, and many, many other important parts of the American infrusture.
4) The dollar is falling like crazy, cost of food, transportation, clothing is out of country.
Are American’s better off today than they were 10 years ago (prior to Republican control)? No.
5) Freedom, justice, freedom of the press and the American way, has suffered greatly under Republican rule.
Republicans USED to stand for small government, personal privacy, and self determination.
Our government has grown larger under Bush than any past Democratic leader, the republicans want to intrude on every aspect of people’s private lives, from spying in your bedroom to your bank account to our doctor’s office.
They have shown poor judgement in hiring ELITE people, and settling for buddies who are incompetent and can’t even program a microwave.
5) Moral Republicans is like saying saintly prostitues. What part of cheating the elderly, the poor, and workers out of their funds is moral. Greed is not a virtue. Pro-family? In the primaries, only 1 republican was divorce-free, the rest were on their 2nd, 3rd or 4th wives. For some of us who are catholic that says it all.
Even McCain, left his wife during her time of suffering from cancer to hang out with Cindy (but to be fair, McCain has never jumped on the morality train or pretended to be what he isn’t).
How do republicans claim to be pro-life but fight for the right to let our soliders die daily in Iraq, fight to kill people in jail, allow children to die from malnutrion, or remain unadopted. I guess they are “pro-life” until you go from a fetus to a completely birthed human being, thus Pro-fetus but not pro-live born.
6) You want to know what Senator Obama stands for and his policies? Take the wax out of your ears and listen to an entire speech instead of a sound bite. Watched any of the 17 debates during the primaries? Read a newspaper, policy websites, or his website and you will get over 20 pages of specific policy plans and details.
Furthermore, he has published TWO books on every detail of his personal life and his policies. From those sources, you would have learned what his comments on the supreme court ruling meant: that he is against the death penalty except when it comes to crimes against children-including rape. But also respects the ruling of the judicial branch of government.
Whenever, I hear someone say that they don’t know any thing about Senator Obama, I assume that they are either blind, deaf, or just illiterate.
- Posted by stampedeThis one’s for you “rank” - you asked for it:
No Democrat, including Senator Hillary Clinton has been able to do one hell of a lot that meets the accomplishment benchmark of “passed legislation” in a time of unending, record-setting Republican obstructionism.
Obama has been in the Senate for three years, two of which were spent with a Republican majority that would not even let legislation sponsored by Democrats reach the floor for a vote and, on the few occasions where Bill Frist granted such a luxury, Republicans shot down most Democratic initiatives with extreme prejudice.
In the current (110th) Congress, the Republican minority has blocked everything but the Senate chaplain’s morning prayer and is on pace by a wide margin to filibuster more legislation than any Senate in U.S. history.
And there’s the answer that the Texas state senator should have given on Tuesday night in response to Matthews’ badgering. He should have been able to list just a few of Obama’s legislative efforts but, far more importantly, he should have been in tune enough with the national legislative scene to say “Chris, have you been watching the U.S. Senate the last few years?”
He could then have gone on to discuss how Republicans have had a significant Senate majority for most of this young century and, during the brief periods Democrats have held a razor-thin edge, the GOP has made damn sure that the Democratic side of the aisle has no “legislative accomplishments” to hang their hats on in election years.
There you go, “rank”.
- Posted by homeboyOkay “rank” here’s where I ask you to do the same thing.
If you think Obama should have 5 accomplishments that qualify him for President in his 4 years in the Senate, then please give me 27 accomplishments of McCain’s that qualify him for President - after all, he’s been in Congress for 26 years now.
And, no, being associated with the Keating 5 does not count as one of the 27.
- Posted by homeboyWhat is the purpose of this story? Are we to lend any more credence to the opinion of an over the hill singer/actress than that of anyone else in this country?
- Posted by TerryStreisand backs Obama — duh!
- Posted by normalAnd, “rank”, since you asked nicely, here’s your list:
1) Senator Obama’s fight for universal children’s health care in Illinois.
2) His success bringing Republicans and Democrats together on bills such as the one in Illinois requiring police interrogations and confessions to be videotaped.
3) His leadership on ethics reform in Washington (the bill that lobbyists and special interests are complaining about right now has his name on it).
4) His bill to make the federal budget far more transparent and accessible to Americans via the Internet — we could use that openness in Texas.
5) And his vital work with Republicans to lock down nuclear weapons around the world.
There you go.
- Posted by homeboyPlease tell me you haven’t picked up your ball and gone home, “rank”.
- Posted by homeboyStreisand supporting a democrat? Say it isn’t so!
- Posted by networthHey homeboy, Rank asked for 5 reasons barack hussein obama is qualified to be President. I wouldn’t hire this bozo to pick my dogs poop. Not one of your reasons qualifies him. Nice try though.
- Posted by JoeB.S. may buy the Obama B.S. and in all likelihood enough sheeple out there will buy the ‘Hope and Change’ B.S., but what isn’t B.S. is that Obama will make Jimmy Carter like halfway competent.
I’m not a John McCain fan, but B. Hussain Obama will severly damage this country, especially with the socialist dems in charge of congress.
- No country EVER taxed itself into prosperity.
- No country EVER regulated itself into prosperity.
- No government program (at any level) is achieving its goals.
- No government program (at any level) is staying within its budget.
Obama is big government tax and spend. He talks change, but he’s a rehash of LBS’s failed policies. It’s like he copied LBJ’s memoires and put a cover stating “Obama’s Policies for Change” on it. It’s becoming a cliche, but the truth is change is all you’ll have left in your pocket.

- Posted by satchAnd…. we even CARE what she thinks because what? She is a leadership and policy expert due to her career as a SINGER???
- Posted by Cliff D.Four biggest reasons to be afraid of a “President Obama”:
#1: Obama has gotten the endorsements recently of Qaddifi, Kim Jong Il, Castro and Hamas! American liberals see this as a resume enhancement. (Did I forget any terrorists? All we need now is Achmedinajad’s endorsement.)
#2: He has stated his first priority as president will be shutting down of our nuclear defense system and will “have discussions” with extremist countries. He has no intention of protecting the American people.
#3: Obama is a muslim who will say whatever he has to for the White House. Considering that he has surrounded himself with hate-speech radicals (including the wifey.), I have yet to be persuaded he is worthy of running this country.
#4: The beheaders have said over and over they want to take over the US from within the White House. This is a very real possibility with Obama. And there are enough brainless twits in America who, if they can contain themselves from “fainting” on election day, will vote for him and probably get him elected. What better way to invoke change than to put a radical muslim in the White House?
The stupidity on the part of Obamassiah’s followers, and the destructive intentions of O himself, should have us all very afraid.
…but “change” is all that matters.
- Posted by EverybodyLovesReaganNot that I needed one, but there’s another reason not to vote for this socialist.
- Posted by JoeNice try Joe, but you’re wrong. If I came up with 10 of the most ironclad reasons in the world, you wouldn’t admit it. Can you give me 27 accomplishments that qualify McCain?? After all, he’s been in Congress for 26 years. I’ll be here waiting.
- Posted by homeboyAs if there weren’t already enough reasons to vote against Barack Hussein Obama we get this caveat. Streisand is at the very top of the list of the most clueless people on the planet. She is an idiot and that’s being kind.
- Posted by Ping2007EverybodyLovesReagan (not):
Do you really believe Obama is a Muslim?? Is that why there was such a big flap over his CHRISTIAN pastor of over 20 years??
If you really believe that, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona to give to you.
- Posted by homeboyYet another reason to vote for Senator John McCain!
- Posted by GENE LALORI’m not the biggest McCain fan in the world, but at least he:
1. Won’t leave our military high and dry
2. Will fight the war on radical islam efficiently
3. Will be trustworthy during a terrorist attack on US soil (and if you don’t think that’s an absolute, you’re kidding yourself.)
Obama will not do any of the above. VOTE FOR MCCAIN!
- Posted by EverybodyLovesReaganI bet most of you who think Obama is a muslim also live in Appalachia and visit Elvis regularly, too.
- Posted by homeboyI’m still waiting for 27 accomplishments of McCain’s that qualify him to be President…
- Posted by homeboyYes, I believe he’s a muslim. Absolutely. And that “pastor” you’re referring to is no Christian.
- Posted by EverybodyLovesReaganIt won’t matter if our military is high and dry. It will be spread so far out in various conflicts under McCain that it won’t be effective.
- Posted by homeboyEverybodyLovesReagan(not):
Have you ever heard of snopes.com? It’s an objective website that investigates various claims people make. Here is what they say regarding the claim that Obama is a muslim:
- Posted by homeboyhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/mus lim.asp
EverybodyLovesReagan(not):
Why do you believe that Obama is a muslim? What evidence do you have to support that belief? And please respond with more than “his name” - that’s passe by now.
- Posted by homeboyI don’t like Obama’s former pastor either, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a Christian. No one knows the heart of anyone else as to that matter. And I’m sure he didn’t spend 30 years at that church because he really didn’t believe in Christianity.
- Posted by homeboySince this is obviously a right-wing website and full of McCain supporters, let me ask this question:
What about Senator McCain excites you and makes you want to vote for him?
I’m asking this seriously, because I just don’t see anything there.
- Posted by homeboyEverybodyLovesReagan(not):
Regarding the statement that McCain will be trustworthy during a terrorist attack - you do realize that you’re calling someone “trustworthy” who can’t even keep the Shia and the Sunni straight, right? Joe Lieberman won’t be there to help McCain during the debates.
- Posted by homeboyIn other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, ice is cold and Babs is STILL AN INSUGNIFICANT HOLLYWOOD MORON!
- Posted by kirkHere are several reasons why Obama will not only win in November, but will garner at least 400 electoral votes:
57% of the American public has a positive view of the Democratic Party; 39% of the Republican party. 53% want a Democratic congress; 32% a Republican congress. These gaps are the largest ever recorded (last 40 years or so) even during the years when Reagan got 500 electoral votes (198
