The Creamiest Presidential Endorsement

OK, so this probably isn’t the most important endorsement that U.S. Sen. Barack Obama has earned or will earn in his race for the White House. But it certainly is the creamiest.

That’s right, Obama won the endorsement of none other than Ben and Jerry, the co-founders of Ben and Jerry’s. So grab a spoon, people! If Obama wins, maybe they’ll spread some ice cream love.

From an Obama press release:

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, co-founders of Ben and Jerry’s, publically announced their endorsement of Barack Obama for President today. Joined by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, the former John Edwards supporters said they believe Barack Obama is the best candidate to unite America and finally tackle the challenges facing our nation.

“Barack Obama believes that the special interests in Washington shouldn’t drown out the voices and basic needs of Americans,” Greenfield said. “When Barack Obama is President, we will finally have a president who is committed to ensuring all Americans have access to affordable health care and our children get the education they deserve.”

What? Nothing about ice cream for everybody?
