Obama said his children are more keen on Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus.

Hilary,Obama Supports The Strike

Both the democrats hopeful, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is working on an unusual way to win votes. This time around they are both sending a message of support for the recent Writers Guild strike.

“I stand with the writers. The Guild’s demand is a test of whether media corporations are going to give writers a fair share of the wealth their work creates or continue concentrating profits in the hands of their executives. I urge the producers to work with the writers so that everyone can get back to work.”

- Barack Obama

“I support the Writers Guild’s pursuit of a fair contract that pays them for their work in all mediums. I hope the producers and writers will return to the bargaining table to work out an equitable contract that keeps our entertainment industry strong and recognizes the contributions writers make to the success of the industry.”

- Hillary Clinton 

The last thing we need now for the strike to last any longer. Its going to get ugly if any shows will be canceled and people losing their jobs.
