Sheryl Crow Endorses Barack Obama!



Supporting Obama


I could not be happier or more relieved to hear a presidential candidate of our beautiful but struggling country speak about consciousness and the idea of aiming for lofty goals without the cynicism we have all become accustomed to. I refuse to embrace the rhetoric that says that the kind of hope and ideals Barak Obama speaks of cannot be acheived without having the kind of leadership that has become mainstream in this country; leadership that is based on special interest monies or based on well executed fear campaigns facilitating the greed of a few and the demise of our honorable standing in the world theatre. I am proud to support Barak Obama in his desire and mission to see America return to her greatness.

I have carefully watched, like everyone else, the campaigns of both the democrats, as well as the republican candidate, and I could safely say that only one candidate is speaking to the beliefs I feel this country was founded on.

I believe, like Barak Obama, that we can change our future, but not by repeating our history. It's my belief that the idea that Barak Obama cannot do the job because of his lack of experience is an empty argument for we have put our faith in experienced Washington insiders who have lied and cheated and look where that has gotten us. And, I will not be deterred in my support of Barak Obama because of ad campaigns that are meant to incite fear in us where our security is concerned, when the candidate running the ad voted to take us into war.

It is time we demand better for ourselves and vote against the cycle of manipulation and insinuation. It is time for us to choose leaders who represent the best parts of ourselves. Everything in this life is about intention and here is our opportunity to say to ourselves and to the world that we deserve and desire better for ourselves and our offspring.

I have great hope that we will begin to see ourselves differently. And, I pray that we will begin to wake up and really emotionally invest in the plight of all people in this country as our own, otherwise, we will continue to stand divided. And, that we find it in ourselves to demand greatness from our leaders and not fall back on what we have endured for so long. It is time for us to dare to be conscious.

40. There's that..she was in Bosnia with Sinbad
and hilary when the alleged Sniper Fire took place.

But, I'm glad Sheryl Crow has come out for Obama with her excellent, well thought out endorsement!

17. Yes - but, thankfully, she lived to tell about it!
I wonder who Sinbad's voting for?
Sinbad and Sheryl Crow should campaign for Obama together.
What a riot!

9. Next up: Sinbad!
Then Chelsea!! :rofl:

Seriously, though - the Crow endorsement is a bit of a surprise. I was pretty sure she'd back Hillary.

I guess the negative campaigning has gotten to her, too.

And she looks fine in that pic. Just sayin'

Her whole career is a sham and lie.

28. Umm, no.
Sheryl then began dating Kevin Gilbert and joined him in an ad hoc group of musicians known to everyone in the group as the Tuesday night music club (hence the name of Sheryl's first album), who came together on Tuesdays to work on the album. Group members, Gilbert, David Baerwald and David Ricketts (both formerly of David & David), Bill Bottrell, Brian MacLeod and Dan Schwartz share songwriting credits with Crow on her debut album.

Read up. Sounds like you've got a lot to learn, unless you're one of those people who pronounce Obama backers as 'dead' to them.
