Ben Affeck, Matt Damon Pledge Support for Obama

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 Shriver's Miami Beach home. (ANI)

Oh, well, I was on the fence, but Matt Damon and Ben Affleck? Wow!

"Actors, (sigh!), what don't they know?"

Isn’t Ben Affleck that little duck I see running around in some insurance commercials? How can a duck have a pregnant wife? Edwards? The media will never tell.

“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.”

So, anybody know who impregnated their wives?

STOP THE PRESSES!

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are now classified as men?

By whom pray tell?

“What, of all their material things are they going to give up when Obama (who also lives the same lifestyle as them) comes knocking with his socialist forces to take away from the rich? Will they make public announcements to support him then as their Mercedes is carried away and they have to take the bus!”

Like most brainless snots, they believe they will be co-rulers. They don’t think that Obama will make them recite the party line or they’ll get much worse than bad press.

Do you guys honestly think that if Obama is elected he will have forces confiscating people’s possessions? I don’t think it would be good for the country if he gets elected, i.e. war on terror, oil, taxes, etc., but I don’t think he will turn us into a police state. Do you?

Oh I’m so glad I know who they are endorsing!! Sheesh! They are just like the “O” with HUGE egos - like we care who they are endorsing! I’d say to Affleck shut up and act but does he do anything any more? I heard on news this morning L.A. wants George from Seinfeld to run for office!!! Ha!

I've been waiting for the endorsement of these two rocket scientists to know who to throw my support to.

I can sleep tonight!

Well, when I see stars cozying up to dictators and politicians that advocate more government control, I see a group of people who wish they had the ability to do the same.

“Wonder if either of them has two solid thoughts that connect together on how to solve the oil crisis by drilling in the U.S. or how to deal with illegal immigration?”

I once peeked in on a naughty movie once and mentioned that the acting was terrible. I was then told “they’re not paid to act.”

The same could be said for celebs, i.e., they’re not paid to think.
