Colombiana Shakira has announced her endorsement of Barack Obama for U.S. president. Now Shakira can’t vote pero how much you wanna bet she’ll do an Obama song (ay and I hope in Spanish). “I am honored to receive the endorsement of such a talented and generous individual who has achieved worldwide acclaim, and whose commitment to social justice has made such a difference,” Senator Obama said.

“Shakira is a role model for young Latinas in the U.S., and throughout our entire hemisphere, and I am humbled that she recognizes the type of change we need in our country and around the world.”
“I support Barack Obama because I think that he is the person that can bring the world the true American message,” Shakira said. “I feel in my heart that he would be able to reconstruct peace and confidence in the United States.”

Shakira added that: “I’d like to invite the Latino community to come out and make themselves present during this election because they can really make a difference. (ESPECIALLY THE NON-VOTERS!!!!) I care deeply about this country and I think everyone does because America’s economy is so crucial for the rest of the world. The rest of the world’s economy depends on the economy of this country, and world peace depends on the policies of this country.”
