The U.S. Presidential Elections are finally here. Today November 6th., we choose who will represent our Nation for the next four years. Celebrities have a huge following and many of them had a lot to say. See their various tweets, and videos below. Celebs like George Clooney held fundraising dinners for Obama. Clooney raised $15 million, Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s dinner for the President raised $4 million, and Harvey Weinstein‘s fundraiser charged $35,800 per head for 50 people.

Katy Perry made it clear who she was voting for as seen in pic below.
Ben Affleck
This is what Affleck had to say earlier this year in support of the President, “I voted for Obama last time although he got to be all things to all people then,” Affleck said in an interview to promote his new film “Argo.” Affleck said that Romney’s inability to connect with everyday Americans is reminiscent of past failed candidates.
“I think Republicans really had a chance to win,” Affleck said. “And they kind of ended up with like a sort of Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, Bob Dole type – who just couldn’t get people to see him as a real person somehow. Romney just had such trouble coming off as just like the kind of person you see at the grocery store. And I truly believe that has cost him the election.”
“It seems quite unlikely at least if you look at the statistics that he’s going to pull it out. I think something happens in presidential politics where there’s negative momentum. You start making mistakes and then all your advisers tell you, ‘You’ve got to raise your arms more!’ ‘You’ve got to talk deeper.’ So people just get into becoming robotic.”
Clint Eastwood
Eastwood talked at the Republican National Convention supporting Romney. Here is part of his speech. “So I’ve got Mr. Obama sitting here and I just was going to ask him a couple of questions. But you know, I remember 3½ years ago when Mr. Obama won the election and, no, I wasn’t a big supporter,” Eastwood said as he looked at the empty stool next to his podium.
“I was watching that night when he was having that thing and they were talking about hope and change,” he added. “‘Yes we can’ and it was dark and outdoors and it was nice, people were lighting candles, they were saying ‘I just thought this is great.’ Everybody’s crying, Oprah was crying. And I was even crying.”
“I haven’t cried that hard since I found out that there’s 23 million unemployed people in this country. Now that is something to cry for because that is a disgrace, a national disgrace, and we haven’t done enough; obviously, this administration hasn’t done enough to cure that,…I’m not going to shut up. It’s my turn,” Eastwood continued, looking over at the imagined empty chair for Obama. He went on and on with his speech and even went over his allotted time.
Will Ferrell
