Shaq throws in support for Obama in 2012
NBA star Shaquille O’Neal said on Monday he believes President Barack Obama is doing a ”fabulous job” and will win the 2012 presidential election.
O’Neal, who retired from pro basketball this year, joined a handful of celebrities endorsing the Democratic president, ranging from singer Lady Gaga and actor Tom Hanks to Basketball hall-of-famer Magic Johnson.
“It’s a hard job … You can’t please everybody but I think he’s doing a fabulous job,” O’Neal told CNN host Piers Morgan. ”The world is in a little bit of turmoil right now — the economy’s down — but … he’s going to pick it back up and I think he’s going to win this next election.”
A group of current and former NBA stars are due to play in a fundraising game in Washington on Dec. 12, the Obama campaign website says. Confirmed players include Johnson, Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, Alonzo Mourning and Jerry Stackhouse.

LOL....
Well, if Shaq said it I better get on board.
That's the SECOND time today I've LOL'd at something you've said.
Dude, you're killing me;-)

Only the members here influence my vote. I am very selective about that.
This country isn't exactly known for having the most informed voters...
Shaq and Magic Johnson are both good people and were Great Basketball Players but neither will ever get “The Sharpest Knife in the Drawer Award.” Lady Gaga, who really cares what she, thinks? Tom Hanks has credibility but whoever allows a celebrity to influence their vote shouldn’t be voting anyway.
Ya know, I've been WONDERING which way Shaq was gonna go in 2012...
