Obama clinches nomination and celebrities rejoice

SheKnows.com - Scottsdale, AZ, USA - Besides its historic moment as the first African American to secure a major party’s nomination for President, there are quite a few celebrities in Hollywood raising their glasses today as well.

Ben Affleck’s bromance with Barack
Ben Affleck was one of the first A list celebrities in Hollywood to endorse the junior Senator from Illinois.

Affleck’s commitment to Obama knows no bounds. Whether its wearing an Obama T-Shirt while going for coffee with his wife Jennifer Garner and baby Violet, or speaking on the campaign trail, Affleck will be a face often seen in the Fall Presidential campaign.

Affleck is long a political activist and many believe he will someday run for office.

Scarlett Johansson has a crush on Obama
The Obama girl is not the only female with a crush on the potential next President of the United States.

This superstar may serve as Woody Allen’s muse of late, but it Scarlett Johansson's support as well as Affleck’s that made it OK for those in Hollywood to pop on that Barack Obama pin.

Johansson is routinely passing out Obama buttons, bumper stickers and even gave a shout out to the candidate on her debut CD's liner notes.

Also watch for Johanssen to appear for Obama as the candidate wishes.

She has already been a part of video compilations put together by Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am.
