WASHINGTON, DC — This post is way off topic, but we felt we needed to sum-up those celebrities who helped our new President Barack Obama get the job! By the way, we proudly voted for Obama too!
Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner cast their votes for Barack Obama in Santa Monica, CA. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel voted at 7am in Hollywood, CA!
Another Hollywood couple, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen, voted for Obama in Los Angeles, CA. Actually it was only Rachel Bilson who voted. Hayden missed out on a chance to vote as he is Canadian citizen.

Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs hit the voting station for 104th election district on the East Coast in NYC to vote for Obama. Combs later said, “I felt like my vote was the vote that put him into office. It was down to one vote, and that was going to be my vote. And that may not be true, but that’s how much power it felt like I had.”
Ryan Phillippe had to wait in line for 30 minutes at his local voting station in Los Angeles to vote for Barack Obama. Once finished, Phillippe revealed that he spent weekend in Missouri campaigning for Obama and that he voted a ‘No’ on Prop 8.
