Scarlett Johansson and Co. are thinking outside the box to re-elect President Obama!

The actress co-hosted Runway to Win, a clothing launch where proceeds of the line went towards the POTUS's re-election campaign.

Ranging from totes to clutches to t-shirts, Runway to Win had celebs flocking to NYC a week before Fashion Week.

ScarJo took the time to endorse Obama and listed the following examples of the POTUS's good work:

Change for American women: the first bill President Obama signed into law was the Fair Pay Act Three women now sit on the Supreme Court for the first time in history. And insurance companies must now offer women cancer screenings and contraception at no cost.

Change for LGBT Americans: The President ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell so no one will ever again have to lie about who they love to serve the country they love.The President declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. And he signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law.

Way to go, ScarJo!

She also preached patience towards the reviving economy. She stated that Obama inherited a "turkey" and he's working to improve it.

Man In Obama Mask Robs McDonald’s!

Published on February 3, 2012 By

WTF?!

A man robbed a McDonald's last Saturday in Florida in an Obama mask.

He held up the employees at gunpoint and forced all of them into the back office while instructing the manager to empty the cash registers and put the money in a bag he brought.

The police are still on the lookout for the masked robber.

We're not sure if this is a protest or a joke but we don't like it! It's disrespectful to use someone's face like that, no matter who's it's supposed to look like.

Ugh!

President? Singer? Now career advisor?!

President Obama held an open chat on Google+ reaching out to younger voters.

One viewer, a Republican, had a special request for the POTUS.

Jennifer Wedel asked the commander in chief to review her husband's resumé during the online town hall meeting.

And the President followed through!

Wedel says that she received a call from a White House official stating that the matter was being handled. Her husband has now received numerous calls from recruiters through contacts in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where the couple lives.

However, she did say it might not be enough to swing her to his side!

Check out the video above and hear more on the town hall meeting.

Hollywood Toasts MObama, Raises A Mil For Obama’s Re-Election Campaign!!

Published on February 1, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

On a candlelit patio in Beverly Hills, Michelle Obama praised her husbands many accomplishments over the last three years to Hollywood bigwigs!

With everyone's attention on her, she made sure to note President Obama's biggest changes: healthcare reform, the removal of troops from Iraq, the proposal to reduce taxes for the middle class, and the repeal of DADT.

These changes, which are said by some to often be overlooked or belittled by GOP propaganda, have made a very positive impact, and Michelle wants to make sure Barack can get the full eight years he needs to turn the country around AND see it flourishing again!

In her eloquent speech, she stated:

In the last 3 years, we’ve worked hard to get out of this mess and we’ve made some remarkable progress, but we know there are people still suffering and there is a long road left to travel.

The audience was captivated, according to sources present. Michelle was said to be such a delight.

All 135 guests toasted the first lady, and by the end of the night, a million dollars had been raised for his re-election campaign.

Thoughts??

Mitt Romney Leads A Sing-A-Long, America Still Likes Obama Better

Published on January 31, 2012 By

Perez Hilton

Can you say - trying too hard?! Wow!

While at a campaign rally this week in Florida, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney decided to flex his pipes and patriotism for his voters and led his supporters an rousingly awkward performance of American the Beautiful.

More like America the Tone Deaf. What key are you, Romney? And why did you think singing this song would put you in the same vein as Barack Obama? His song choice was cool and relevant. Your's was desperate and off-key!

If you feel like offending your ears today with a little forced campaigning, check out the video (above)!!!

Awkward!!!!
