May 13, 201214 yr President Obama has picked up a major celebrity endorsement – Betty White. The actress says that she normally keeps her politics to herself, but that she likes “how he represents us.” I wonder if that will help with the older demographic?
May 13, 201214 yr Active Members I am a fan of Betty White but I wish celebrities would stay out of politics. They seem to know little about anything and even less about politices. However, they have every right to express their opinion, like everyone else. Best regards, RA1
May 13, 201214 yr What makes you think they know less about politics? I'm sure they are like anyone else. Some know more than others. But you can't deny that Betty is right in this case. . .
May 13, 201214 yr Active Members Of course I can deny that she is right in this case but that is beside the point. My point is that "movie stars" and others in the public eye are often believed to know more than the average citizen, a point that you assert is not true. At least we agree that they know no more or no less than "others"; now can we agree that they sometimes have "undue" influence? Best regards, RA1
