Both Usher and Beyonce were visible supporters of Obama at his inauguration back in 2009. Since then, the two have continued to throw their star power behind the president -- voicing their admiration of the Prez to all of their fans.

"Everyone has been so critical," Usher told Politco in defense of Obama. "But yet the issues that we're facing, they're not issues that just started today, last week, last month. I think that he's doing an incredible job as a president."

Meanwhile, Beyonce has been doing her part to bring votes Obama's way. Besides singing his family's praises on her Tumblr, Bey and her husband Jay-Z recently threw a fundraiser for the president's re-election campaign.
