Updates of the weekly political scandals
It’s official! Obama has managed to triumph over John McCain! He is now the United States’ President Elect!
The results came quickly, and were uncontested! John McCain immediately made a very gracious phone call to Barack Obama congratulating him for his victory.
Later, a huge crowd, maybe 100,000 to 200,000 people gathered in Grant Park to watch Obama make his first official speech as President Elect! It was a somber speech at times, focusing on the problems the country currently has, but there was much hope touched on too.
Congratulations Barack Obama!
Reality TV show The Hills does its share of politics too!
Recently, two of MTV’s hit show’s main cast and antagonists were spotted sporting election shirts.
Heidi Montag was spotted in a pink tank top that said, “Read my Lipstick, Vote McCain-Palin. Her boyfriend Spencer Pratt was spotted on the same day with a Palin for VP shirt with “God, Guns and Glory” emblazed in front. He was also carrying a gun, and a six-pack of beer, supposedly redneck style.
The two are one of the few Hollywood personalities who are in support of the Republican party. Many Hollywood stars have been outspokenly democratic.
A brawl for elections? What are the campaigns coming to?!
Actor Stephen Baldwin has publicly challengedBarack Obama to a boxing match! He supposedly got the idea after sittingin on Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan’s father’s boxing sessions.
Here’s what Baldwin had to say: “I’d like to knock some good sense into Barack. I wouldn’t hurt him. But if he wins the election, he’ll hurt me. He’s a cultural terrorist.”
He also later said that if Barack Obama won the electio, he would get out of the country.
Personally, I think Baldwin crossed the line with his words. What are your thoughts?
