Barbra Streisand changes tunes from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Barbra Streisand, the famous singer who was being discovered by radio stations back when someone named Barack Obama was being born, confirms to (LA Times)The Ticket this afternoon that she's supporting Obama and has offered to help in his presidential campaign.

Streisand's personal spokeswoman, Marge Tabankin, says talks are underway with the campaign in Chicago to decide what exact role Streisand will play in the presumptive Democratic nominee's efforts to win the White House.

Obama’s Hollywood supporters are hopeful that she will sing for the senator, as she did for Bill Clinton during his presidential runs, at one of the many fundraisers in the works for this summer.

So far, Tabankin says, nothing definite is confirmed. But stay tuned."

10. Very cool to have Babs in our corner

[Cha]

11. This is way cool..I was just thinking about

her today and how she's feelin' about all this?

Our country is at stake and we all know Barbra has deep feelings about Democracy.

I wrote to her once because of the comment mccain made about her on SNL..he said, we'll leave the singing to her and she needs to leave the politics to us".

I wrote that mccain doesn't realize that all citizens can be involved in politics. She wrote back and said that "they try to smear the messenger because they don't like the message."

14. Go Barbra!

I have to say though...I saw her on her last tour (2006) and, frankly, I kinda hope she doesn't sing TOO much for Sen Obama. She's 66 now and the voice is not what it was even 5 yrs ago.

Well, welcome back.

16. It's what we Dems are supposed to do to "support the Dem Nominee" ...isn't it?

That's what we are doing here on DU... We are all "coming together." Good for Babra! (as she used to like to call herself!)

29. Agree with many in this thread -- Ms. Streisand is a Democrat of long

standing, a fiercely loyal one at that, and a damned generous one in addition.

I'm glad she's on the blue team.
