Oprah Winfrey Backs Barack

George Clooney: On Barack's Leadership
"He possesses the one quality that you cannot teach and you can't learn... He is a leader. He walks into a room and you want to follow him some where, anywhere... I've only seen that a couple of times in my life." (Win McName, Getty Images) - Celebs Supporting Obama
Will Smith: Hero Actor Salutes Real Deal
Clearly meaning that a "third act" would be a run for the White House, Smith stated: "There's absolutely going to be a third act and I believe (Obama) is going to be the hero." Not a bad endorsement froma guy who has made quite a career of playing heroes of all kinds. (Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images) - Celebs Supporting Obama

Halle Has Obama-Fever
"I so love what he stands for and respect him so much that when I met him, I was a bit shaky," she told the Philadelphia Daily News, which asked if she'd endorse him for President. "Oh, my God, yes! I'll do whatever he says to do. I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear." (Pier Paolo Cito, AP) - Celebs Supporting Obama
Matt Damon: An Obama Guy
A-list actor Matt Damon was one of the first stars to come out in support of Brack, stating: "I'm an Obama guy... I think a lot of the problems in the world would be mitigated if he were the face of our country. I haven't ever met him or talked to him, but he's the first person in a long time who I've been inspired by." (Koichi Kamoshida, Getty Images) - Celebs Supporting Obama

Zach Braff: Follows the Trend
Actor Zach Braff is one of many Democratic Hollywood insiders who are on the Obama rather than the Hillary team, a switch that is surely taking the Clinton camp by surprise. (Stuart Ramson, AP) - Celebs Supporting Obama
Taye Diggs: A Young Hollywood Supporter
On December 11, 2007 actor Taye Diggs came out in support of Obama at the Los Angeles Generation Obama Concert held at L.A.'s Gibson Amphitheater.
