Hollywood Out To See Obama's Inauguration











Really interesting to see all of the celebrities out during yesterday's festivities at the inauguration of Barrack Obama. It is especially to see the amazing influence these celebrities have on every day people when it came to voting. Many of them voiced their political opinion and a lot of people did follow what they say. Why would someone take advice on who to vote for by such celebrities. We don't know them as people. We only know them from the roles they play in the movies. Just because Coach Boone (Denzel Washington in Remember the Titans) was a good guy, does that neccesairly mean Denzel himself is a smart guy? I'm not saying he's not, but how do we really know. Now no one will say outright "I'm voting for _____ because ______ hollywood celebrity is, but the idea is that there is a little bit of infleunce when they voice opinions. We all need to take a step back and critically analyze everything we see and hear because at the end of the day, these people are actors - not people we should be looking to for advice on who to vote for.
