Sen. Hillary Clinton nabbed the Babs endorsement today, with performance diva Barbra Streisand saying the Democrat has the best ability to bring about change and has the added bonus of being a woman.
"Madame President of the United States ... it's an extraordinary thought. We truly are in a momentous time, where a woman's potential has no limitations," the Oscar and Emmy winner said in a statement sent by the campaign. "Hillary Clinton has already proven to a generation of women that there are no limits for success. She is driven by her passion for public service and her belief in the enormous potential of our country. Smart, capable and strong in her convictions, Hillary has transcended the dictates of what is thought to be possible for our time."
Streisand, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates, added: "Hillary Clinton is ready to shatter through that glass ceiling for all women."

Shattering glass is not exactly an encouraging endorsement when gas is approaching $100 a barrel, the dollar is on downward slide, immigration is more a matter of getting minority votes than listening to the people and the Congress has been in gridlock for six years. A better endorsement would be how Senator Clinton intends to deal with these issues.

Why is it because Miss Streisand makes alot of money it immediatly makes her an expert on Politics and we should care who she is voting for. Just because they are so called stars does not give them the righ to tell us what to do, who to vote for or make them a political expert. I think her and Hiliary should live together in Saudi Arabi, so they can see how the women are treated over there , since they hate this country so much.
