Journal #5: The Great Appearance of Katy Perry

http://www.xylografipress.com/katy-perry-gives-barack-obama-her-fashion-vote/32/

My eyes were caught with by an interesting topic of politics near the upcoming presidential election. In the article, “That Barack Obama/Katy Perry mashup you've been dreaming about will finally happen this Saturday,” posted on the AV Club website November 1st, states that Katy Perry was evidently appearing and singing at Barack Obama’s campaign stop in Wisconsin on November 3rd. With Mitt Romney, The Oak Ridge Boys were possibly performing. The interesting concept for me is why these acts are needed.

Mostly everybody can agree that these are good forms of entertainment. Yet, elections of any form are supposed to be about the issues. With performers like Katy Perry and The Oak Ridge Boys, there may be entertainment, but that takes away from getting the possible presidents to spread their message to the public. We want to know the true issues and what they plan to resolve. Wouldn't we rather our decisions be based off the facts, rather than the pop star that appears before the president? Displayed in the picture above, Katy Perry supports Barack Obama in even her fashion choices. People look to their pop figures for answers. This kind of a decision should base on your opinions and beliefs, not of a person you idolize.
