Knowing that with a bad economy, student loan debt and the lack of jobs have been hanging over his election since he became President almost four years ago, President Barack Obama knows that he doesn't have the youth vote on lock like he did back in 2008. So like he did with the older celebrities, the president has opted to go after the youth vote once again by conducting a meeting with 25 of Hollywood's youngest actors at the “Young America Effort” held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Read what some of the actors had to say about their experiences via Twitter:


Ian Somerhalder

•“Totally surreal morning. Met up with some friends, had coffee with President Obama now tweeting.The 21st century.”

Jared Leto

•“Great meeting with @BarackObama this morning. Thanks Mr. President for the inspiring words and thoughts .#ObamaTheRightChoice.”

Jessica Alba

•“Got up bright & early to hear @BarackObama speak w an awesome group #YoungAmerChat.”

Brandon Routh

•“Honored to speak w/ POTUS @BarackObama again today! Looking forward to helping #GetTheVoteOut.”

Sophia Bush

•“It was amazing to see @iansomerhalder @ZacharyQuinto@DiannaAgron and @BryanGreenberg with the POTUS today. Good peeps. #YoungAmericans.”

Dianna Agron

•“Maybe the only man I truly get nervous around. Worth the early wakeup call,”

Zachary Quinto

•“all in all? not a bad way to start my morning. get fired up. now. it. is. ON.”


It's nice that you want to meet with people who have a shitload of money Mr. President, but what does that do for the 99% of the youth you will need to vote for you for a second term when those same youth are the ones who will or are currently up to their ears in student loan debt and can't find a job once they get out of college? Another thing people are not talking about is that suicides are up for people who can't afford to feed their families or find a job, so their only solution is to kill themselves.

Don't get me wrong Obama is the only person I can see as the best alternative to be President for the next four years, but I have to say I'm sick and tired of voting on people because they are the best choice at the time. It's time we get someone in office who actually gives a shit about the American people and not what's good politically for the greedy asses drunk on money and power.

Sidebar: Where were the black celebrities? You can't possibly tell me there are no young people of color working in Hollywood.
