Celebrities for change

Abstract:
On Sunday afternoon, actresses Ellen Pompeo from ABC's hit drama, "Grey's Anatomy" and Danielle Panabaker from Mr. Brooks, spoke with ECU students about their choices to support Barack Obama in the fast approaching November presidential election.

The rally was quite different from Friday's Canvass Cookout, which focused on voter registration and was highlighted by lively music and food....

I'm sure glad that she brings a wealth of knowledge to the politcal process:
For more than two years, she served cocktails in Miami where she met then-boyfriend, fashion photographer Andrew Rosenthal. In 1996, she was bartending at the SoHo Bar & Grill in New York City's Upper West Side when an agent approached her to appear in commercials. Subsequently, she appeared in commercials for Citibank and L'Oreal. She began her career with minor roles on television shows like Strangers with Candy and Law & Order and a handful of films.

She is so wonderfully qualified
"Like so many generations before us who've been faced with critical moments - they have their JFKs and their Martin Luther Kings and their Kennedy's - and I believe we have Barack Obama for our moment," Pompeo said. "This is our moment. And moments like this are terrible for our country, but they're also fantastic for our country because this is when we can truly shine."

Just because she isn't closely working with politics, doesn't mean she doesn't follow them.

Politics affect her just as much as any other else, poor or rich, involved in politics or a janitor. Good luck copying and pasting her biography, which gives no insight to anything that is of relevance.

Are you seriously taking political advice from some tart that believes ANY of the Kennedys should be looked up to? The only thing the Kennedys achieved were orgies in the Lincoln bedroom and a dead floating pregnant chick in the Chappaquidick. The only political insight she (Pompeo)has is paying 25,000 for a plate at a fundraiser for Obama 3 weeks ago in Los Angeles and being prepped as a parrot. A couple of over-priveledged white chicks that make 100,000 a week are in touch with what I and You need? Keep giving Republicans the ammo to accuse young people of being seduced by the "cult of personality" and not the issues. If you want to vote Liberal or, Conservative go right ahead...just make up your own mind and don't let some idiot on a TV show be the sole influence of your vote with nice, controlled, rehearsed soundbite language. Come on people, Open you eyes!!! be a Liberal for change, not an easily influenced idiot with the priveledge to vote.

I am sick of hearing about Barack Obama like he is Jesus or something... All of ECU does NOT support Obama, and I am sick of it being made out that way. I could be the only one- but personally I can't stand Obama and I am sick of people trying to get people to vote for him just to make history.

All of ECU does NOT support Obama. I go to ECU, I do NOT support Obama, therefore, all of ECU does NOT support Obama. Get that through your head.
