Drew Barrymore is barely recognizable on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar this month.�� I like this All-American election thing they’ve got going on, but I swear, the photoshopping is seriously out of control.� Anyway.� As you might expect, Drew talked politics, and officially endorsed Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

On how Obama made her cry:

“When I heard him speak about a gay person never having to sit outside the hospital room with their loved one sick inside, I burst into tears because so many people I care about are homosexual and it was profound to have someone be sensitive to that.� That’s the kind of world I want to live in, where we’re not holding our own principles in judgment above someone or against someone.”

On what she thinks of John McCain:

Despite her political affiliation, she says Republican candidate John McCain “is a good person, and he does care, but he has voted against things that are shocking as far as people’s liberties and economic choices.”

On her thoughts on voting:

“I was raised in a family — well, no family, really, so no one talked to me about politics or why voting is important.� So my way to educate myself was driving around America and filming all sorts of people with different mind-sets.� I became an avowed voter and feel it is really important to engage other people in it.”

I totally agree with Drew – voting IS totally important, no matter which party you vote for.�� Good girl!
