Washington, Aug 4 (ANI): Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and their pregnant wives turned up at a Miami fundraiser for presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barrack Obama on Saturday.

Both the couples attended the orientation at club Set to pledge their support for Obama.

According to reports, the actors also delivered speeches from the stage.

“Jennifer Garner gave the first speech supporting Obama, and she was very witty, clever and funny,” Peoples Magazine quoted a source as saying.

“She was followed by her husband Ben, then Matt Damon. The men gave serious political speeches on how the country needs change,” the source said.

Best of friends, Damon and Affleck made it pretty evident that they are supporting Obama over McCain, as he is a deserving candidate and a man of principles, who would head the country towards righteousness.

“For a lot of reasons, but mostly because I don”t like the path this country’’s on and if McCain is elected we”ll be continuing down that same path,” Damon said, when asked as to why he was supporting Obama.

The stars seemed to be in jolly good moods, and were friendly to all the guests.

Later, the stars left in a Limo to attend a party at Anthony Kennedy Shrivers Miami Beach home. (ANI)

Regardless of what you think of their politics, it’s silly to contend that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are talentless. I don’t have any problem separating actors I enjoy watching from their politics.

Also, not only did Ben Affleck direct “Gone, Baby Gone,” he wrote the screenplay as well.

And for you Jason Bourne fans, the fourth installment (still untitled at this time) is slated for release in 2010. Paul Greengrass returns as director.

Alright pissant I'll jump in on this one. Who gives a rats as* about what these two feminized airheads think. Both of these no talent creeps are the biggest nothings I've ever seen. By the way besides that horrific film Pearl Harbor what movies has this cat Ben Affeck ever been in? I keep hearing about him but other than PH I cannot remember him in any films. Both of these guys are jerks.

But Ben Affleck should be listened to because he had an affair with Jimmy Kimmel: Jimmy Kimmel, "I'm f...ing (read without the ellipses) Ben Affleck

Blah, blah, blah. You're supporting him because he's a democrat.

I thought the Sarah Silverman skit “I’m F’ing Matt Damon” was good, but the Affleck one is even better.

Ben and Matt seem like nice enough guys whose thinking is about as deep as a a sheet of wax paper. They live in a bubble and take limos to and from events where they tell us how we should live our lives and make our decisions.

I know people who have met Ben Affleck in the course of political events. He is described as nice, not too bright and lives for experiencing the perks of celebrity.

I think Jack Bauer could kick Jason Bourne’s ass.

“There was a time when actors were considered to be on the same level as circus freaks.”

In Confucian China actors were considered so low that there were no actresses.
