But while the rapper said, Obama is clearly doing the right thing, to prove to voters that America is ready to ensure that it was headed by a black president. However, Snoop Dogg - not the person who believes that you can safely trust.

Then, as a public figure made a buddy Snoop, rapper, actor and producer Sean Combs, aka Diddy.

This time the rapper was even more concise, turning to his audience with an appeal to "go vote» (Go Vote). By the way, Combs has not yet announced which of the candidates he supports. Rapper just thinks that America's youth need to show more attention to the election, if she wants to "halt the war, and the economy has evolved».

Will.i.am, member of the Black Eyed Peas, went on oral statements. First, he and Snoop Dogg, did not hesitate to openly support Obama. Secondly, Will.i.am wrote a song called Yes We Can («Yes, we can") and even initiated the establishment of the corresponding video.

The band with the speaker called Grateful Dead («Grateful Dead") for Barack Obama gave the first joint concert in four years. This band was formed in 1965 and disbanded in 1995, after the death of guitarist and founder of the project, Jerry Garcia. Later, the band Grateful Dead were involved in joint projects, but did not meet on the same stage for a long time.

On Monday, February 4th, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Bob Vere not only gave a concert in San Francisco, but also made a statement before the two and a half thousand fans. (Incidentally, the Grateful Dead fans call themselves Deadheads, ie "dead head".) The musicians explained to the audience that America has for the first time in 40 years there was hope. "A man like Barack Obama, is born once in several generations," - said the drummer Mick Hart. The previous policy of this caliber, according to participants Grateful Dead, was killed in 1968 by Robert Kennedy (the younger brother of John F. Kennedy).

Finally, it became clear that support for Obama and have representatives of the music industry because of the seas. British musician and producer Mark Ronson, who worked with Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams and Christina Aguilera, said that the presidential candidate has provided financial support. The maximum size of the contribution that an individual can make in favor of any candidate, is 4600 dollars. But Ronson plans to continue to support Obama, arranging a campaign to collect money. Regarding Hillary Clinton, the second main candidate of the Democratic Party, the producer believes that it should market conditions and therefore does not inspire confidence.
