Blake Lively & Penn Badgley: Vote Obama!
McCainFreeWhiteHouse.org is a new site that has been launched encouraging young people to warn their parents about John McCain and to persuade them to vote for Barack Obama.
The site just posted a video featuring Gossip Girl stars (and real-life couple) Blake Lively and Penn Badgley. And I’m pretty sure that’s American Teen’s Hannah Bailey! Anybody recognize anyone else? Watch the vid below! The narration goes:
Talk to your parents about John McCain.
For my sake? Please?
Vote for Barack Obama.
Before it’s too late.
The ad, brought to you by MoveOn.org, was helmed by director Doug Liman (Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith).

Their names sound like a brand of tennis balls
haha they have been celebs for like a nano second! if they were just normal people you republicans would STILL be hating on them! but i guarantee that if they were up there saying ‘please warn your family about obama. vote mccain!’ EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU would be praising them! saying ‘finally someone with sense!’ god you all are such a bunch of hypocrites. seriously.
@Maria: only scared people scream so loud. Don’t use the 200 days in office excuse, because Palin is even less qualified. The only difference is: Obama is kind spirited and has my best interest in mind!
Bottom line is: if this video bothers you so much you are either a) Republican and worried shitless that the old man is behind in all the polls with more margin than ever seen before or b) jealous of celebrities. Don’t watch it or suck it up, it’s not worth your negative attention.
OBAMA WON THE 2009 ELECTIONS!
Shut up Maria why are you worried. who cares what these two think>Obama has no experience. Less then sara palin. This democrat is voting for McCAIN!
honestly, i dont give a flying F who wins. i’m not an american citizen so idc.
but watching the presidential debate. i CAN say that MCcain is a dumbass. he doesnt answer questions properly. And Obama does. He’s eloquent and he knows what hes doing and saying.
i UNDERSTAND why blake and penn are doing this. they’re not necessarily saying VOTE FOR OBAMA OR DIE. but they’re saying to get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN.
just like what anyone else should be doing if they were voting for obama.
you people are so technical with it. if you dont wanna see people wanting to vote for certain president dont come on here duh.
Sorry but i’m voting McCain and i’m not old! But i agree that John McCain is old but old is better than stupid!
It’s not the fact that McCain is old. that’s already a total give me by just one stare.
It’s the fact that when’ he dies, I HOPE NOT. but just saying. Palin would replace him……then what? Palin doesnt know wtf she’s saying how do you people expect what she’s doing?
Obama come on now he acts like he’s god and he thinks he can fix everything. All I hear about Obama is he’s a rock star lmfao. But McCain has my vote you don’t see him using celebrities. Oh yeah polls don’t matter anyway and if you look back when John Kerry and Bush were trying to win the presidency Kerry was way ahead in the polls and guess who won Bush did.
I’m not old and voting for McCain also. Obama is inexperienced. He is not the best man for the job……
i think obama is great!!!! i will vote him
This has nothing to do with democrat or republican, this has to do with Obama and his scary brainwashing tactics of trying to win this election by spending gazillions of dollars ( half of it coming for foreigners), by using every form of media to carry his water and protect him from people looking to closely at his record and associations, it feels like he trying to take over a society not just win an election, if you live in a battle ground state you see his ads everywhere all the time and then you have these celebrities who are like a cult when half the country is kinda evenly divided and celebrities were brought up from all around the country all say one thing vote one way you know it has nothing to do with what’s best of America or issues it has to do with doing what’s cool like drinking/drugs and wearing the latest fashion, celebrities are the most insecure people in society, a bunch of sheep who just follow the latest fad most of them barely even have any education but they want to tell Americans who and how to vote and have you noticed this year how many of these stupid celebrities endorsements for NObama are from the under 30 crowd, NObama doesn’t want people voting on the issues or on his record and who he aligned himself while rising in politics, no they want a bunch of college students and that age group going to vote for him because it’s the in thing to do and cool and NObama wants to reenforce that message everywhere they look. If a candidate has to spend almost a billion dollars to convince people to for vote for him and he has every form of media already carrying his water maybe people should stop and ask themselves if he was really right for this country would he really did to do all this to convince people to vote for him and if this is how he operates running to be President what will he do once he is in power.
He’s not using celebrities.
He’s not saying, hey you penn do this, hey you blake do this.
hey you gossip girl clan use your powers to make other people vote for me.
No, the actors do that because they have a voice. and they’re gonna use it regardless of what it will do to their careers.
Wait wait wait…so this site is telling young americans to persuade their parents to vote Obama? That is tooo funny. Yes let’s let the uneducated young immature people of today persuade the older, intellegent, experianced..tax paying people to vote for Obama…and here I thought the world couldn’t get any dumber…please tell me this is a joke.
@shell.
you cant even spell experienced.
that’s more of a joke than blake and penn saying GET INFORMATION BEFORE YOU VOTE.
people… you follow your celebrities everyday and keep ignorance in the rest of the world.. then they speak up against your beliefs and you hate them….
McCain is a threat to the world … and its scary to see that people still support him and will vote for him…
I still trust that Obama is going to win no matter what… but seeing some comments here everyday scare me.. that McCain actually has a chance .. I forgot about the ignorant lot that will vote for him
AMEN #2…..I just cant stand celeberities these days, They really have crossed the line by telling the public who to vote for, this is truely disgusting.

GO McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ridiculous.
McCain/ Palin ‘08!!!
silly. MCAIN/PALIN 08.
Finally a bandwagon I can hop on this in room……..
MCCAIN PALIN FOR ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and I’m 20!
I don’t want a rockstar in office and I’m not jumping on a bandwagon because it’s the cool thing to do. Obama is a charismatic and likeable guy, but he has no track record and if you really listen to what he says, there isn’t much substance behind his eloquence. Both of these men will say whatever they have to during the election to win. Please remember that. Also, think about the fact that if it weren’t Obama he was running against, many of you would be thinking about John McCain.
I am registered independent and have voted democrat in every presidential election I’ve take part in (that would be 4), but four and eight years ago, if John McCain had won the nomination I would gladly have voted for him. He is NOT George Bush - take a look for yourself and stop listening to political ads. It’s time to really think while you’re making your decision.
I agree, sillyme………young people who don’t have a FREAKIN’ clue, about what it’s like to work hard, and who just want someone because they’re charismatic or speak “eloquently” are the ones who will vote for Obama. These are NOT the reasons to vote for someone…..it’s sad.
This democrat is voting for McCain/Palin.
Its fantastic that celebrities encourage people to vote but to tell me to vote for a certain candidate?? That’s crossing the line. And for what it’s worth, I would rather warn my parents about Barack Obama and tell them to vote for John McCain. Just because someone is an “intelligent, articulate, and aspiring leader”, as another commentor said, does NOT mean they would make a good president. I bet Obama would make a great motivational speaker, though!
At trish….Do you think I really care? All Im saying is how are young Americans more informed than Adults? Sorry I mispelled…I was a little bewildered in the fact this video and site are actually real. If you buy into this then I can’t wait to see everyones reaction when Obama raises taxes and hurts our economy more. Btw I am a young American, I attend college, and I’m sick people my age so blindly following someone they nothing about but because he’s the cool thing….Just look at this site Jared has made it very clear who’s the cooler candidate.
McCain/Palin 08
Don’t Hope for change vote for it.
