Barack Obama linked to Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez
Uploaded by: AntiConformist911
Video Description:
Superstar actress and singer Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) was seen "slipping" into Barack Obama's Senate office for what the Hill called a "mysterious meeting". Asked by reporters about the purpose of her visit to the presumptive Democratic nominee, Lopez answered "I'm not ready to do any press yet".
Should she decide to back Obama, Lopez would be the latest -- and most famous -- among the throng of Latino celebrities that have already come out in support of the Illinois Senator. Among the other Latino artists already backing Obama are the more than 20 Latin music and film stars who recently released a Spanish-language video in support of the Democratic presidential candidate.
The list of Latino artists participating in the "Podemos con Obama," or "We Can With Obama" video includes actor John Leguizamo and hip hop artist Don Omar. Other pro-Obama Latino celebrities include international pop stars Alejandro Sanz and Paulina Rubio and actors George Lopez and Jessica Alba.
With a recent Gallup poll showing Latinos preferring Obama by a lopsided margin of 62-29%, the backing of high profile celebrities like Lopez can only help the growing chorus of Latino support of the Obama candidacy.

Every presidential candidate can use a sexy blond movie star to liven up his or her campaign, appear at big money events and rally the entertainment community. Sen. Barack Obama's go-to Hollywood hottie is Scarlett Johansson, a starlet who trades frequent e-mails with the presumptive Democratic nominee, campaigns tirelessly on his behalf, hosts lucrative fundraisers and even appeared in that "Yes We Can" viral video that got 10 million views in its first week online.
Of course, there's always the possibility of a backlash. "Even I'm wary of celebrity endorsements," Johansson told Politico 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 23-year-old actress, known for cool, quirky films such as "Ghost World," "Match Point" and the Oscar-winning "Lost in Translation," has been an Obama supporter for years, even before the first Democratic caucus in Iowa, and she's made no secret of her deep devotion to the candidate. "I am engaged to Barack Obama," she said back in January, joking with reporters after returning from a USO tour to the Persian Gulf. "My heart belongs to Barack."
She's not alone. Jessica Alba is for Obama. So are Ryan Phillippe, John Legend, Anthony Kiedis, Taye Diggs, Kate Walsh and countless others. But Johansson emphasizes that it's not just young Hollywood coming out. "His support goes across all of America, not just with celebrity endorsements," she said, laughing. "Trying to find McCain's youthful core group is going to be challenging. One of the driving forces behind the Obama campaign is that all of these young people who never had a reason to vote before finally got the fire under their ass."
Hollywood Politico last heard from the Gen Y icon when she phoned us with Barack-boosting robocalls before Super Tuesday and the California primary. But last week, the actress, who reads The Economist, serves as an ambassador for Oxfam and also speaks out on behalf of several charities, engaged in a back-and-forth conversation about her political activism and how she expects the Hollywood-Obama connection to play out between now and November.
Drawn to his candidacy largely because of her anti-war views, she met Obama several times on the trail, talking to him one-on-one on many occasions. "The most time I spent with him was the first time I met him, at a private event for supporters," she said. "After that, it's been a few minutes here, a few minutes there on the trail."

OBAMA THE RADICAL,ATHEIST,RACIST!!!=LOSER
Michelle Obama nice try in covering up your true self,remember the bitchy part of you who is not proud to be an AMERICAN and the loving mother who supports INFANTCIDE!! I wonder what your children would think of you and the LOSER supporting the murder of babies. God keep us safe from these SICKOS!
I'm thankful that I live in a country where religion is every man's own business and not something you discuss in an election campaign. Christianity is no better than atheism. Redneck morons like you are really hurting your own country. Don't you see it?
Obama is the best candidate, he is aiming at change and a better America. Republican values have indebted the country, tarneshed its image, created scapegoats, promoted violence. Through this securitarian, anti-trust, money-draining defence system.
It certainly time to change this, and invest attention and money into more ethical and beneficient actions.
Obama can do this.
