In Their Own Words: Artists Speak Out For Obama


	Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla "It was so easy on the Vote for Change Tour to believe that there was no way that John Kerry wouldn't win. But Obama is a better candidate. As we drive around the country right now, it's so incredible just how visible his campaign is and just how committed people seem to be to it."

	Bob Weir "The contagion of hope is real. I think that Americans have the ability to rediscover what democracy feels like, and that's a good feeling."

	Billie Joe Armstrong "I don't want it to turn into a cult of personality. He's not Magic Man. The great thing would be if he could lead by example and inspire people to get their own shit together."

	Pete Wentz "This is the first time that I've had a chance to vote in a presidential race where there hasn't been a Bush or a Clinton running. From touring the world, the issue that draws me most to Obama is the idea of diplomacy and of repairing the U.S.'s image abroad."

	Michael Stipe "With every passing day, every time I see him speak, I'm more impressed by his capabilities and sure-footedness. He represents something different."
