FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Enjoying the Sunshine State since departing out of LAX Airport on Friday, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck attended a fundraiser in support of presidential candidate Barack Obama last night alongside BFF Matt Damon and his gorgeous wife, Luciana Barroso, in Miami Beach.

At the A-list event, mum-to-be Garner told reporters: “Ultimately I felt inspired by him and I don’t think anyone in our generation has had that experience.” Matt added: “It comes down to a simple choice for all of us. If you like the direction the country is going, you should vote for McCain. But if you want a candidate who rejects those policies but has a vision, then Obama’s your guy!”

The A-list parties don’t end here for Barack. A group of backers are planning what’s being billed as a “star-studded fund-raising reception” for the candidate on August 21. The event, called the Black & White Gala for Barack Obama, is being designed to “celebrate America’s landscape of diversity and its many cultures,” with an honorary board that includes Shohreh Aghdashloo, Jessica Alba, Don Cheadle, Khaled Hosseini, Ashley Judd and Lucy Liu.

Invitation-only tickets are $1000 for the general reception and $2300 for VIP ducats.

    Hollywood’s candidate. Celeb idiots never learn, their support is like the kiss of death to a candidate.

    Many americans are less concerned about the future. The are more offended by the hollywood freak show poisoning our culture and the Media Bias manipulating the result of our elections.

    Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz campaigning is part of the JOB if you want to stay relevant in the BIZ.
    Most celebs aren’t even political cause they lack the knowledge they just do as they are
    told by their agents.

    When are Matt and Ben going to be photographed together????That would be nice… It is like
    when they were at the Charity Poker Game… Separate again.. so I hope this is the last one…
    Because why bother when you can’t be photographed together.. All four of them or Ben and Matt..

    And what about inside .. No photos either?? No it looks like Matt is taking his cue from Ben and
    ignoring his wife as they walk through the press.. And this is some interesting event…Ben and Matt
    both have the same agent Patrick Whitesell…So it is interesting how Ben and Jen are slowly getting
    more romantic..

    Obama’s image ia as carefully crafted as a celebrity’s. Oh wait he is a celebrity, maybe he can do movies when he LOSES THE ELECTION.

    ^^^^^^^^^^ Garner’s to dumb to have come up with that statement, surely her agent wrote it for her and told her she’ll have first dibs on the next juicy role.

    I just don’t understand where everyone thinks Ben doesn’t want to be with Jen and looks so miserable. Maybe he’s miserable with all the paps following their every move??

    I really like Matt’s comments here. It was non-judgemental, saying simply vote for whoever rows your boat, not MY CHOICE is the RIGHT CHOICE.

    Well done Matty, I’m impressed.

    ^^^^^^^ matty was smart enough to learn from the past, how celeb opinions are despised. All while sitting at the messiah’s fundraiser ….roll eyes.

    Among the invited were esteemed pentagon bombers Bill Ayers and wife Bernadine, Ministers Farrakhan, Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright. Tony Rezko “alleged” criminal, all his communist dead mentors…….

    Laurie: you don’t cease to amaze me with your blunt self absorbed expectations about people you don’t know.

    Anybody with a little sense of decency and brains is supporting Obama!
    The fuckers are the only ones supporting the fraudulent Republicans.

    Yeah Laurie, you don’t get it. Keep interpreting celebrities as the chaser for your vodka.

    MR SMITH - NO I don’t .. I don’t care about their personal lives .. like a lot of these “comment”
    people do..Why not … HOPE… - SAYING ALL THAT CRAP…that isn’t true you need to take a
    break yourself… and just admit that I am not the only one with too much time on my hands
