It’s lame. They have every right to say what they want but it just seems so conceited and self important that they and the other hollywood folk seem to think that anyone gives a rat’s what their opinion is.
I like this Funny Or Die video better: Obama Tax Plan

It’s totally funny!
Very funny, creative, becoming of an oscar winner. Cinematic and clever. I love it. But I’m voting for Hillary Clinton, I want my vote to count and mean something.
It is pathetic. A guy who’s entire life has been pretending and playin make-believe, suddenly thinks he knows what the country needs.
He is so far out-of-touch with middle income America, as is all of the ‘Left Coast’ it isn’t worth wasting your time watching his video.
Hey Howard. How about moving into a normal home and give away all your money to those people you say need our government to support?
Oh wait, you don’t want to do that? Why? It is good enough for those people you want to tax who have real jobs.
I thought it was terrific. Regardless of one’s political affiliation, seeing Opie and Pa, and Richie and the Fonz together again was great.
I love this video, its nostalgic and sincere, without being a smear campaign. Way to go Ron,Andy and Henry I applaud you.
To shamil – how exactly will voting for someone on the ballot “count and mean something”? Are you serious???
The video was hilarious and a creative way of making a point.
I find it baffling that some people out there enjoy criticizing people in the entertainment industry for expressing their political views. These entertainers are every bit as American as their critics are, and have the same rights and freedoms of expression as any other American.
Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura… all were entertainers turned politicians. If they had stayed quiet and kept their political views to themselves, out of some ridiculous fear of appearing “conceited” or “self-important” then they never would have reached office.
ALL Americans have the right to express their views, even entertainers. People can choose to listen to them or not.
To shamil – how exactly will voting for someone NOT on the ballot “count and mean something”? Are you serious???
I think actors should stick to what they know – how to pretend to be something they are not. This political season has turned from someting historic to something very sad. When actors and actresses think they know what the “real world” is like or what real people need – it is a sad world. All the money that has been wasted on these unrealistic ads could have been well spent taking care of those people who really need help – in the real world.
Go Obie! You always knew what was right!
wow, if I was American, I would vote Obama, and this was very sincere, no need to smear. as Ron stated he voted for both sides, and honestly, I would of too, there were good dem’s and good Rep’s.
This is almost as funny as when McCain described himself as a “washed up old terrorist”.
