"I hope that during his presidency, Obama brings our troops home from Iraq, stabilizes our economy and helps provide health care for all Americans. I think he’s going to be an amazing leader. I’m proud of what he’s done so far."

"I hope and believe Barack Obama will pull us out of this recession! I’m thrilled to have him as our new president. He’s the exact change our world needs. Obama is hot, and he rocks!"

"Barack Obama had a tough childhood filled with instability and loneliness. However, that did not stop him from rising to become the most powerful man in the world. His breathtaking achievement presents five important lessons for all children. What he has achieved in his 48 years is simply astounding. Only one person is currently the Commander in Chief. That man had no fatherly guidance, is of mixed race, and had no family connections to guide him into the world of national politics.

"Throughout this historic presidential campaign, I have been inspired by Senator Barack Obama and his message of change. I believe he will uplift all Americans during these critical times."

"This is not my usual stage—and I’m a little nervous. This is the first time in my life that I am endorsing a political candidate. I’m not here as a musician or an actor or that guy that writes songs. I’m not here as a Democrat or a Republican. I’m here as an American. I’m not here to tell you what to think but I urge you to think. I’m supporting Barack Obama because I’m inspired by him, by his voice, his intellect, his leadership and his judgement."

"What I'm hearing from Sen. Obama is a lot like what we heard from Robert Kennedy. No matter what campaign ad we see or how it's spun, hope is important. It's what this country was based on."

"He stands for everything that I believe in. I think he's inspirational, and that's what this country needs right now."

"This is the first election where I've actually paid attention to every single thing, and I think it's because I'm a mom now. I just think Barack is amazing... I admire him. I admire Michelle."

"Because I know him personally. I think that what he stands for, what he has proven that he can stand for, what he has shown was worth me going out on a limb for – and I haven’t done it in the past because I haven’t felt that anybody, I didn’t know anybody well enough to be able to say, I believe in this person."

"Please do something different. Barack Obama is a true example of something different. He's a true example of something our children can have in the future, what they can look at and say: 'Wow, we can really, really do something. We can really, really be something.'"
