Shakira’s Vote: Barack Obama

Though Shakira will not be able to vote in the upcoming 2008 Presidential Elections in the United States, the Colombian singer has voiced her support for Illinois senator Barack Obama.

She stated, “If I could vote, I would vote for Barack Obamba because I think that he is the person that can bring the world the true American message,” according to the Associated Press.

On November 4, 2008, voters will flock to the polls casting votes for the next President of the United States of America. Barack Obama has been the more popular candidate among young voters and is expected to have a huge turnout among young voters at the polls.

“I feel in my heart that he would be able to reconstruct peace and confidence in the United States, a counter that he appreciates profoundly.”

Shakira also added that Barack’s family background may give him an advantage over his republican opponent John McCain.
