Failed Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton could only muster up golden-oldies like Barbara Streisand and Sir Elton John to support her campaign, while Barack Obama is very much the man of the musical world with a whole legion of fervent and highly-influential followers. Here we run down the army of musicians who just love Obama...

    • I will not renew my $35 membership with Duran Duran . I hope Simon and the other members of the band don't share the same view. John Taylor And Gela (Juicy Couture ) are ready to pay more taxes and also for their kids to do community service.

  • Nobody wants to say it, but most of the artists are black. You cannot honestly say this isn’t an issue because it is. There are some white artists backing him but they are from another country. Several are gay artists" who think all Republicans are evil. I agree with Joe, now I know who NOT to spend money on.

  • anyone else notice the common thread....the people who support him are all black. I could care less what color Obama is he is simply a big liberal who has no experience to lead this county. Wake up people.

  • Yeah, because you should base your music selection on which artists share the same political views as you do... Get over it. Music is music, so what if they support Obama? It doesn’t make their music suck.

  • All artists black or from another country, your kidding right? What about Country Music Artist Toby Keith and Country Music Legend/Actor Kris Kristofferson. Those are two of the whitest and proudest American stars in the Country. They both endorsed Obama.

  • Who cares. I can't wait to see the concert they hold in 4 years after The One completely fails. I'm now expected to lower my expectations on what The One will delivery since he has to "fix" the economy. Anyone with half a brain knows he can't fix it. I"m really going to enjoy watching him fail. SOMEONE ELSE IN 2012

    • Are you an American? If not don't bother commenting on American politics that don't affect you. You make no sense at all. Anyone who comes into office after the disasterous mess that was left behind the past 8 years would be in the same situation Obama is in. You are a complete imbicile. Why would you want him to fail. If you are an American then shame on you. You forget he's clean up for the mess that was delivered to him. A mess that has years of turmoil, blood, sweat, tears and
