I will admit that it was very weird typing the name Barack Obama as I post this article. This is a music site not a political site. Who the fuck cares about Barack Obama? Well I suppose we all should in a way. That was just the point Scott Weiland made.

Scott Weiland has released the following statement via his official web site:

"Barack Obama is the leader, the listener and the visionary with international respect to take us from the depths of where we are today and bring us to a new place where dreams are made; that place is called America. A long time ago, these same dreams, same visions brought us out of a similar darkness and united us together. More to come…

"It's our imperfections and our willingness to persevere that makes us stronger."

Ok. So if you are the kind of person who makes their decision based on what celebrities think...you just voted for Barack Obama. Congrats.
