Obama to Celebs -- Barack Off!

Posted Nov 4th 2008 3:00AM by TMZ Staff

Everyone and their mutha wants to be part of the Barack Obama rally tonight –- including Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Diddy, and Ben Affleck.

But Obama wants this night to be all about him -- as it should -- so he's asking his celeb backers to stay away, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. "There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park," says a source, "and that's Barack." They want the celebs to focus on the inauguration in January -- if that's tonight's outcome, of course.

Naturally, Oprah Winfrey will be there tonight. Not even Obama tells O to go away.

16. WE WILL NEVER WATCH OPRAH OR ANY OF HER CRAPPY SHOWS AGAIN BECAUSE OF HER WRONG POLITICAL MACHINATIONS.

OBAMA IS ALREADY SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS.

THE NEW FASCISM BEGINS - YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CRITICIZE NO-BAMA OR YOU'LL BE CALLED RACIST

THIS IS A DARK DAY

17. No one should show up, let this lying idiot, can't make a decision ass stand there & tell lies to himself. He is so believable to you dumb asses that fall for his crap, that he believes it himself. We are in very serious trouble if this joker gets in. And those of you that don't believe that are in for a rude awakening. WAKE UP!!!

18. I think he wants to keep his distance from Hollywood because most of the US HATES these sub-normal humans who feel they have something to say, but are really idiots!

20. This is the greatest day of my life. My grandmother woke up in tears, because she remembers having to drink out of colored water fountains, and being called a n*gger. Obama is not only a black man, but a qualified black man. I hope one day my son can follow in his footsteps and graduate from Harvard. I pray that he wins, and god keeps him and his family safe. At the end of the day he is just a son, father and a husband.

21. lol @ ready for change.
"Republican terrorists", huh? Not like the liberal Democratic terrorist, Bill Ayers, right? The sleeze bag that is allowed to teach at a university and able to walk around freely and vote, despite his self-professed terroristic past. At least religious terrorists --- NOT THAT IT'S RIGHT ---- but at least they believe they are serving a higher power other than themselves.

22. there will be no excuses for the "black man"... if he wins. Get off your asses and work, stop collecting wel fare and support your country and your family. Dream Big and follow through!!

23. I tried this once before but I guess TMZ doesn't like it. This is just like Obama. He wants everyone to vote and yet the military vote doesn't. Why can't he join McCain and sue VA to let the military vote. Is it because more (68%) over seas are pulling for McCain? He wants Hollywood later! We want the military to count NOW!!!! Don't cut military spending!

27. Dear "Ready for change" and all the other hateful liberals on here...if Obama wins today, you will get your change. You won't get what you think you're getting with Obama, but you deserve what you get. And I hope you get a lot of it...maybe then you will see the light.
