Perez Hilton Withdraws Support For President Obama
There’s been a lot of talk about the so-called enthusiasm gap between Democratic and Republican voters. Now it’s being reported that the easily enthused gossip blogger Perez Hilton has fallen into that gap. Hilton, who resides in the gubernatorial battleground state of California, told Politico that President Obama “fails to inspire me,” citing “his smoking” and “lack of support for Latinos and gays.” He added, “I’m very much looking forward to 2012!” Enthusiastic, yes — but not the kind the Dems were hoping for.
Does this mean that Hilton, a nonsmoking gay Latino, will vote for a Republican president in 2012? Time will tell. But he did tell Politico that while he may be disillusioned with Mr. Obama’s accomplishments, he still supports First Lady Michelle Obama in her endeavors, particularly those of health and fitness:
I am very impressed with the first lady’s focus on fitness, especially her outreach to young Americans. Education and inspiration towards leading healthy lifestyles is critical.
No word yet on how badly the President’s poll numbers have suffered after losing the gossip blogger’s endorsement.
