Hollywood actress Meryl Streep has admitted that the only person she has been star-struck by is US President Barack Obama.

Streep, 60, usually maintains her composure when she meets other actors she respects, but she has admitted that she was in awe of US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama when she went to White House.

"I went to the White House and was star-struck by our president and first lady. Although I was also impressed by Bruce Springsteen who was there as well," said Streep.

Meryl Streep said:

"I think it is thrilling to have someone who is thoughtful and can articulate with a certain amount of passion and dispassion, the necessary choices that we have in the world," she said.

I guess Meryl never saw him give a speech without his teleprompter. Also, I guess Meryl doesn't read enough to realize we're the laughingstock of the world and leader in other Countries don't respect Obama at all.

I wonder how she felt about BO was he was just the junior senator from Illinois that voted “present” a lot.

I just threw up in my mouth a little... is there ever going to be a day when some brain-dead, libtard actor or journalist doesn’t spew forth one of these bullcrap “Zero is the savior of the world” blatherings?

....but she has admitted that she was in awe of US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama when she went to White House.

Was she invited are did she sneak in?

Streep also believes that Barack is more than capable of making the right political choices for the US.

"I think it is thrilling to have someone who is thoughtful and can articulate with a certain amount of passion and dispassion, the necessary choices that we have in the world," she said.

I hate reading this. I always liked her.

She still around?

Saw Julie & Julia....Julie blogs on SALON.com...doesn’t get fired from her day job because her boss says, he’s not a republican...and Julia’s father is a republican who is mean, old, and not open-minded. Doncha just love Hollywood?

Oooooooh Fidel! How quickly they forget you...

World leaders and common folk agree...

Mama Mia! I didn’t really need any more reasons not to like Meryl Streep.

I’d say “shut up and act” but I’d really prefer she didn’t even attempt that anymore.

"Although I was also impressed by Bruce Springsteen who was there as well."

If being impressed could be measured by a gauge, Meryl Streep would peg the needle upon meeting an artichoke.

If Stultis had been there, she would have also been impressed by Stultis. Well, by Stultis’ projectile vomiting...

I remember years back, when she was “testifying” before Congress about Alar, Paul Harvey had a great line about overpaid play-actresses having no business talking about serious scientific issues.

[Logical me]

Most of the Hollywierd types are mentally ill and lack reality with who King Obama and Michelle is.

"I think it is thrilling to have someone who is thoughtful and can articulate with a certain amount of passion and dispassion, the necessary choices that we have in the world," she said.

Translation: He doesn't have a southern accent and gives better speeches than the last guy.

To Hollywood, that's all that matters: style over substance. He may be a angry moron who hates America, but gee isn't he smooth talking and cosmopolitan?
