    well now that ive read this I will certainly go out and vote for Obama. Having all these over privileged assholes involved has made the difference.

  • Regina1180

    Because after all, he IS the first president to try to use Hollywood for votes.

    [/not really]

  • rayna

    What a bunch of Hollywood idiots. It got them some attention though.

  • Alyx

    How are they over privileged they work hard for there money espeically the ones that do tv shows like ian he dose a job just like anyone eles with long hours only difference is his job makes him knowen and hes paid well but he still works for his money!! the kardashians are over privileged assholes who got famous on there backs

  • jojo

    I am glad I got to see the list so I will be sure and not spend a dime or time ever contributing to their movies

  • Chris

    Well, I for sure will vote for whatever an actor tells me too….oh wait, no I won’t because I have a brain

  • Blonderosie

    These young people have NO IDEA what they are doing!!! They need to hear the REAL truth. This guy is a Socialist, plain and simple. He’s destroying this country more every minute he’s in office. These kids think because the likes of Clooney, DeGeneres, Pitt, etc. suck up to this guy that it will make them something. Those Hollywood types don’t care about the little people who made them what they are!!! Talk about the 1%!!! That’s the ONLY group Obama hangs around! You know Hitler, Stalin and those types concentrated on the young because they were so vulnerable. Sad, very sad. People open your eyes!!!

  • Tyler

    They clearly aren’t the idiots here they work hard and are successful. What are you?

  • Tyler

    Are you seriously this stupid or?

  • Margaret

    Clearly the actors har brains many actors have far better degrees than you ever will. Since when did being an actor imply the person is stupid? They’re far better off in life than you apparently

  • Colin

    Actually these aren’t young people. The oldest of them is 39. Idiot. Just because someone isn’t a dumbass republican like you are doesn’t mean they don’t know what and whom they are voting for. Just because people don’t think the way you want them to. Truth? I suppose you know the truth? NEWFLASH ALL politicians lie. Especially the ones your supporting. OPEN YOUR eyes. Clearly you need to do your research. All Ian does is work his ass off helping people in need charities and UNICEF and animal support groups. All that dude does is tweets and travel and work cleaning beaches and places to help the actual world. And what do you do? Sit behind a computer. Y’all need to seriously learn something about these stars before you critize. They aren’t idiots. Clearly.

  • Meg

    Yes that person must be stupid lol

  • Matt

    Agreed

  • Christina

    Preach.

  • Mary

    Exactly

  • Raff

    Drg has no clue lol

  • Sarah

    You said it perfectly . Sick of people bashing people yet they don’t know facts. People who don’t like the president mostly because hes black let’s me honest spend their time commenting
    On him yet he’s done better than any republican as done in the pad years. If people need to be mad they need to instead thank him for trying to clean up the shitty ass mess that president bush left for him. Everyone thinks they know everything but let them be president they wouldn’t have lasted five seconds.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1663484158 Phalen Shearouse

    I work hard for my money….You work hard for your money. Are we meeting with Obama to talk about how we can help his campaign? Their over privileged assholes because they’ve deluded themselves into thinking people care what they think and they can actually make a difference in a world they know nothing about.

  • Hey!

    Hey! These actors aren’t stupid privileged assholes. They do work hard for their money. One of the actors is Dianna Agron. She’s on glee. Have you ever even bothered to find out what all she has to do for that show? what they all have to do? It doesn’t stop at 14-18 hour working days. And they are probably underpaid for what they do. Jeremy Renner is almost 40 and he has a lot of movies made and coming up that involved a lot of hard work. now if it was the kardashians and charlie sheen and a bunch of heirs and heiresses to movie stars who don’t do anything but run their mouth then i would agree with you but these actors/directors/writers aren’t dumb or overpriveleged. i do think the title is misleading. i think the youngest star there is dianna agron and she’s 25. i was thinking disney stars and bieber when i saw “young”. and p.s. being an actor is sometimes a very hard job. you never know when your next job is going to be and even then you don’t know if it will be well-received or not. just because they get paid a lot more than minimum wage doesn’t mean they’re assholes. i know assholes and they have nothing to do with the movie or television industry. try the school districts tho.

  • Annabella

    Sophia Bush looks stunning here she is so beautiful

  • jojo

    Okay so here is a thought. These same actors that some of you are defending happen to make a lot of money and are in the same category as the so called 1%. Yet you will defend them to no limits. However if someone else works hard for their money and the are a conservative or Republican, well then its a whole different story. Can you or they say hypocrite?

  • Melinda

    Where have you been for the last three plus years? Hiding under a freakin rock! When did any republican or conservative say the bashing is because of the color of the mans skin? There are more people on food stamps and welfare because of the Democrates spending problem. What was your percentage of taxes that you have paid in the past 3 years? I personally have paid over 40% since Obama has been in office and I don’t make that much money. He is taking apart the country, soon we will be Russia or Nazi Germany back in WWII. You won’t be able to post anything soon because that right of “freedom of Speech” will be gone.

  • Melinda

    Sad thing is that 1% won’t be included. The other sad thing is that people are thinking it is the cash he is going to tax you on. It may also include any assets you own ie: house, cars, furniture. Some Countries tax their citizens on assets such as this. Some tax you on how many closets you have as well.

  • Tisha

    Clearly they know more
    About the world than you do. And who are you to stay what grown ass people know? Exactly you don’t. Only deluded one is you and your blunt immaturity. Majority of these stars when fr broke and busted to living their dream there isn’t shit over priveldged about them and unless you know them which you don’t YOUR argument is invalid. And it’s they’re btw. If you want to talk crap learn to difference between they’re and their.

  • Jeremy

    Correction clearly she said most people are against him because he’s black. Get your facts right. Only one taking apart this country is people like you.

  • Bishop

    Says the true hypocrite ^^^^^^

    who tweeted afterwards, “Had a great morning w/ @BarackObama in LA. Talked about job creation, education, our troops, & getting YOU involved.”

  • CK

    Pretty sure I wouldnt call some of them “Hollywood Stars”… Unemployed TV actors, yes.

  • Mulan

    OMG you put that person in their place, well done, love your comment

  • sugar

    And clearly you think you know more than anyone. Grow up arrogant *****!

  • JDN

    Most people don’t like him because he’s black??? Are you suggesting that conservatives in this country are usually very supportive of white liberal Democrat presidents? Sure. About as supportive as the left is of conservative Republican presidents. (The left just loved Bush.) People throw the race care around so much it has lost all meaning. Face it. We have a very divided nation with very different views of how best to solve our country’s problems. Race has nothing to do with it.

  • Lelele

    Yay! A to-the-point list of all the movies/TV Shows/music (I say “music” half-heartedly because of Jared Leto and his shitty band) I will now enthusiastically boycott!!! Your boy is RAPING this country. Or rather, whoever is pulling his strings.

  • stop bullying

    Stop the HATE, fool!!! Cyber bullying at it’s best!

  • Kaitlyn

    Some one is desperate for votes….

  • Karin from Sweden

    There is a HUGE difference between paying taxes and dictature states like Nazi Germany and Sovjet Russia.

    In Sweden we pay a lot of taxes, sure. But we also have free health care, free education starting from 1st grade and all the way until you finish college. We have an infrastructure wich is one of the best in the world. We are a respected, productive and peaceful country.

    We accept people of any color, religion and sexuality. You are aloud, by law, to freely speak your mind. Wich is something you can’t do in a dictature state like the ones mentioned above.

    So please think again, before you compare socialism and welfare with extreme kommunism and pure terror.

    Sorry if my english is a bit rusty.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LIYFUAX6W3N4QN3N6Y5T56S5K4 Not Slick willy

    stop bullying – you are fortunate that breathing is an involuntary reflex or else you would have suffocated long ago!

  • Sarah

    Exactly!!!!

  • Philip

    Race has a lot to do with it. President Obama has gotten the most death threats out of any president in office ever. FACT. So clearly there is an issue with race here

  • Philip

    Who did?

  • Sylar

    Awkward moment when EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE ACTORS
    ARE IN FACT WORKING ARGUMENT. INVALID.

  • Blair

    Ha next joke.

  • Jennifer

    The fact that you are even. Talking shit about someone stopping cyber bullying says a lot of you as a person.

  • Clark

    He isn’t a boy he’s a man. Only one pulling strings are the fools who har runied the country inthe past years themselves. Raping is what society is
    Doing not him.

  • barb

    The title of the article is ‘Barack Obama met privately with 25 young Hollywood stars …..’ so apparently it isn’t Blonderosie who is the ‘idiot’ – it is the writer of the article.
    I’m having a hard time figuring out why people feel the need to call names when they make comments on these boards – Democrat – Republican – doesn’t seem to matter – someone is an idiot, an a**hole, a racist, etc. Just because someone doesn’t like Obama doesn’t mean they are a racist – afterall he is half white – so does that mean if a black person doesn’t like him, they are racist because of his ‘white’ half?
    Come on people – we are all Americans – do we really need politics to make us hate each other? isn’t there enough of that already?

  • Pixy

    Good grief..really? I bet not one of them could speak with any kind of intelligence about Solyndra, or National Security. And the fact you are arguing why folks should listen to them .. means you have to damn opinion for yourself, which means you are being led around by the ring in your nose. IF you can’t make an educated vote for youself .. please don’t flipping vote. Why anyone cares what any of these Hollywood types care is beyond me.. watch the news, read the blogs, read the bills that are being passed and vote with your own damn brains. Tisha seriously.. who is deluded?

  • Pixy

    Colin, who’s the idiot? Or dumbass? You have no argument for this President and what he has accomplished so you result is calling folks names. Who’s the idiot? And yes they are idiots..liberal idiots.

  • Pixy

    And that shows your ignorance and your own racism.. just because someone doesn’t agree with someone’s policies doesn’t mean they hate someone, let alone dislike them because they are black. Maybe you need to look in the mirror and evaluate your own hatred for whites?

  • Pixy

    WHATTTT????? There is so many inaccuracies it will take me all night..so I’ll stick to the simple ones.

    Dictature is Dictator
    Kommunism is Communism.

    How’s that free education working for ya?

  • Pixy

    Total inaccuracy.. Bush actually had more death threats than anyone. And if Obama is receiving them.. who said it’s because he’s black? Geez you all are flipping idiots

  • Pixy

    Barb I like how you think… he is half white.. so let’s start calling him White. I mean why can’t we? I’m so sick of people screaming racism.. it has nothing to do with it. Could be because folks are losing their jobs in record numbers, we have more people on welfare than ever before in our history.
    And let’s not forget my favorite.. he called the Marine Corps. the Marine Corpse… the easy thing to do is say we don’t like him because he’s black, that is every liberals mantra. When in fact it’s how inept he is as a President.

  • Tisha

    Racism? Dumbass I AM BLACK. how am I racist against own race? Clearly you don’t know your facts because even the media announced AND the white house have already confirmed he’s gotten the most death threats out of any president AND they were all racially driven. If you are blind to that fact ten you need to get a clear mind. And clearly my “deluded” comment was referring to the one I replying to. Learn how to properly read the comments on here before you talk crap.

  • Tisha

    And hatred agaisnt whites? Ha! Thats funny and shows what a dummy you are cause my own damn kids are all biracial. their father I indeed fully white. You don’t know a damm thug about who I hate. So stop acting like you know me when you obviously don’t.

  • Cory

    Just ignore that bitch. Arguing with people like her won’t get you anywhere tisha. I’m white myself and even I know the President is hated more than any president we’ve ever had. If that weren’t the case then why all the hate? You points we’re facts and valid. Just ignore people.

  • Colin

    I’ve made the idiot and dumbass pretty clear. Are you that illiterate or what? And actually I do. And I have my doctorate degree from brown to back me up. Your the one calling people names so before you judge someone else jump off your pedistal HYPOCRITE. I along with many others know exactly who we vote for and why. Don’t like him then why are you even on here then? Take your negative remarks elsewhere. Yet wait … Did you just say who my to call any idiot yet you sit right there and call someone a liberal idiot? You couldn’t be president if you even tried.

  • Matthew

    She definitely embarrassed herself. Who says not to call someone am
    Idiot then calls someone an idiot themselves. She can’t state an argument the first so I have no clue why she is on here either.

  • Steven

    Hun clearly you must have been living under a rock when they had rallies from the KKK and other communities of people who have been doing protest since he got into office. Are you that uninformed? Race has a lot to do with it. You may try to say what he hasn’t done yet he has the best speak and highest intellect of any president we’ve had in my 50 years of living. I voted republican all my life up until his election. Just cause your ass don’t like what he’s done. Let’s face it. You couldnt do any better your damn self. If he weren’t too busy cleaning up the shit bush left then he wouldn’t have to take shit ad complaints from people like you. Last time I checked this man was not god and can’t fix and make everything perfect according to YOUR requirements. And he has never said corpse. I listen and record ALL his speeches and I’ve been to over 20 of his events . So provide proof or leave this article. If you don’t like him why waste your time? Be mature. And I’m white so save your “hatred agaisnt whites comment and ignorant lecture you gave tisha” Thank You.

  • Ben

    Couldn’t agree more ^^^^^^^^^^^^^=========

  • Andrew

    Someone with a brain! Steven I applaud you.

  • Patricia

    “doesn’t mean they hate them” is that why your spewing hate on this article. An article about someone whom you obviously don’t like?

  • Anna

    I think everyone shoulda too arguing and just shut up.

  • Anna

    I think everyone should stop aguing. Noones gonna win here so just hush people

  • Anna

    Just stop arguing

  • Anna

    You have the best comment here.

  • Anna

    Exactly being an
    Actress myself trust acting and taking the critism of bastards like on here talking shit about who don’t even know you. Being in the industry and being an actress is one of the hardest jobs there is. It’s ALOT. And what’s sad is people bashing these stars couldn’t walk a mile in their shows. If they knew all the sleep and work they put into societys enjoyment and entertainment just for them to judge then they would stop.

  • JDN

    Sorry but NOT FACT. The director of the Secret Service disputed that claim in a congressional hearing. He said that Obama has received the same amount of threats as the last two presidents. That claim was made by someone trying to sell books. Even if that were true (which it isn’t) if could just as easily be because he is the most liberal president our country has ever had. But seriously, there are massive amounts of pictures of liberals carrying signs calling for Bush’s assassination. The media doesn’t like to talk about that though because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

  • Anonymous

    didn’t expect Obama to be THAT desperate. next move is probaly his reality show

  • Concerned citizen.

    Be a f****** president not a celebrity.

  • Mustangelite7

    Who pays for your protection……we do. US taxpayers……..when Sweden starts to pay for there own protection then you can be proud…………I fore one never want your type of socialism here in the US…to many Americans lost there life fighting not to be like Sweeden.

  • Mustangelite7

    Hey Steve…..yes he did say Navy corpsman….yes he did say that……I was in the Navy and if you ever said Corpesman they would call you stupid………and give you a good chewing out. You can easily find the video of him saying that. I bet you never voted Republican in your life, you really don’t seem that smart!
    He has done more stupid things than Bush ever did but you will never here about them because the media will never say anything negative about the chosen one!
