George Clooney: Number One on Obama’s Speed Dial?
My latest at Family Security Matters:
Those of you who think there’s nothing behind the “celebrity” charge the McCain campaign has been lobbing against Barack Obama may want to read this article from the UK Daily Mail. Obama might not be Sienna Miller’s BFF (best friend forever), but apparently he and George Clooney have hit it off and, according to the article, text each other regularly and speak by phone a couple of times a week.
Aside from sharing manscaping tips, what could a former community organizer/Messiah and a college dropout/former television doctor have in common? In addition to “giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language,” Clooney is using his expert credentials to push Obama to “be more ‘balanced’ on issues such as U.S. relations with Israel…George is pro-Palestinian. And he is also urging Barack to withdraw unconditionally from Iraq if he wins.”
Read it all here.

Fortunately most of us pay little heed to celebrity endorsements, whether they be for Obama or McSame. Its the issues that are important, like our huge national debt, endless war, and crumbling economy.
