Leave it to Barbra Streisand to be the last celebrity to get off the Hillary bus. Maybe she wanted to make sure the caviar and champagne in the back didn't go to waste.
Regardless, she has her reasons.
Barbra Streisand, the famous singer who was being discovered by radio stations back when someone named Barack Obama was being born, confirms to The Ticket this afternoon that she's supporting Obama and has offered to help in his presidential campaign. Singer Barbra Streisand who originally endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination now is singing a different tune and supports Barack ObamaStreisand's personal spokeswoman, Marge Tabankin, says talks are underway with the campaign in Chicago to decide what exact role Streisand will play in the presumptive Democratic nominee's efforts to win the White House.
Obama’s Hollywood supporters are hopeful that she will sing for the senator, as she did for Bill Clinton during his presidential runs, at one of the many fundraisers in the works for this summer.
And we know there's nothing that says "hope," and "change" and "new politics" and "youth" than having Yentl belt out some old standards. No word, oddly enough, of this momentous news on Babs' own website. Stay tuned!
