President Barack Obama
President Barack Obama can get comfortable in the White House again and celebrities can’t hide their excitement.
Before the stressful election night, Obama hit the campaign hard bringing star-power as his not-so-secret weapon. Bruce Springsteen took a ride on Air Force One to perform at rallies in Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin. In the battleground state of Ohio, Jay-Z performed “99 Problems,” changing the refrain to “I got 99 problems but Mitt ain’t one”.
The legendary Stevie Wonder also helped President Obama battle it out in Ohio on Sunday by performing “Signed, Sealed and Delivered” for the attendees of the Cincinnati rally. Even Katy Perry performed on Saturday in Milwaukee for Obama supporters.
For those who didn’t get to attend the rallies, the out-spoken celebs didn’t fail to voice their opinions about their favorite candidates. The twitter-sphere was blowing up with final vote reminders.
