Lip don’t lie – Shakira endorses Obama

Eat your heart out Daddy Yankee:

Colombian superstar Shakira says Democrat Barack Obama is the best candidate for president, citing his leadership skills.

In a statement Saturday, the Grammy-winning pop artist said Obama can restore peace and the world's confidence in the United States. Obama faces Republican presidential nominee John McCain in the Nov. 4 election.

Daddy Yankee recently came out to endorse McCain yet both he and Shakira have one key element in common: nether singer has the right to vote in the U.S.
