Barbra Streisand holds a fundraiser for Barack Obama

Barbra Streisand held a fundraiser for Barak Obama this week, and the event brought in $9 million for Obama’s presidential campaign.

Several celebrities attended the event and mingled with Obama, including Will Ferrell, Chris Rock, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Jamie Lee Curtis and Steven Spielberg among others

Barbra Streisand has always been active in raising political awareness, but I have some advice for celebrities….. If you want to see a Democrat in the White House, then you need to keep a low profile and stop publicly rallying around a particular candidate.

Celebrities rallied around Al Gore, and that didn’t help him any. They rallied around John Kerry, and that didn’t help him any. Now, they are rallying around Barack Obama, and it might not help him either.

If they want to see a Democrat win the presidency again, they need to stop publicly supporting him because the public tends to vote the exact opposite from what the celebrities want them to do.
