The very crux of the issue. Being able to be part of the world of real power. Another reason Hollywood is so Socialist as well. They want to be more than actors and think that Obama will put them in charge of things.

A totalitarian regime has a need for people who can create effective propaganda. And in a world where personal success is stifled and initiative has less value, people will have more time to sit in front of the TV or movie screen and try to forget their dreams and goals.

Obama name dropped Buffett at a debate. I found it interesting that he was for the middle class but would go to the richest man on earth for advice on the economy, how to help the middle class, and punish the top 5%. I think it was excpected that if he had Warren Buffett on his side he must know what he is doing with money. The fact of the matter is Buffett will always be super rich so being behind Obama can make him feel altruistic. This is why many well off people vote democratic. There money is not going anywhere.
