Heidi Klum and Seal say they will leave America if John McCain becomes President

I'm so sick and tired of celebrities stating that they will leave our beloved America if someone is elected. the last that I saw, the ones that threatened before, Baldwin and Bassinger are still here, they didn't leave, unfortunately like they said they would. Why does Klum and Seal think that anyone cares what they do (other than their friends). This is our country, and I'm here, through thick and thin!!!

There are crazy people on this site and non-Americans read this and get the completely wrong idea about America. Americans do not like foriegners, like Seal, insulting us and insulting our government. That makes us just like everyone else. We also do not think highly of an aging model who takes US citizenship and immediately uses it as an excuse to threaten to denounce our country and leave if we do not vote the way she likes. As for the rest despite the insanity on here it is becoming increasingly obvious that McCain is the most qualified man to run for President in decades and he is also one of the most moderate and accomodating men to run for President. His reputation for not just physical but moral courage and conciliation is unique. Obama is nothing but an unqualified hack from a corrupt Chicago political machine. He has done nothing that earns respect or indicates a readiness for the office he is reaching for. His associates and the little of his record that we have indicates his support for the most extreme positions that millions have come to America to escape from..

I can not understand people who come to America, the America the land of the free does not exist only in songs, let me say it is not the country but the people that run it. We are suppose to have the right to choose our President but Bush was never elected not the first election nor the last. He has totally screwed up our country, with a war that is as Seal said based on lies, a Government suffering through a recession that just a few short months ago he had said would not happen, and McCain is just like him the only people McCain wants to help are the rich and the h*ll with the rest of us. Obama has been in the shoes of the poor he has known hunger and lack of objects that the rich take for granted.He is smart and will make America what it should be.As for going to other countries why not they have universal health plans they help with families they put there young through College so that they will be able to better themselves. Whats not to LOVE.

Leave. And for everyone else threatening to leave, LEAVE! Your a tumor to this country. Get out and stay out. There are plenty of other people that will take your spot (hopefully not on a raft or crawling through a tunnel). You will not be missed, so start packing, get going, and don't look back because we won't be waving. Seal who? Heidi who? Goodbye and good riddance.

Take me with you!!!

Heidi Klum is the vintage Liebfraumilch of German womanhood. I can't blame anyone decent for wanting to leave with skunks like corrupt grampa and the amimal terrorist as Puppets parading themselves around as if they were leaders instead of followers of BIG MONEY OIL. When you look at the long abysmal track record of the Neo Cons in America, they want good people to leave. They want to hijack Elections by means of Voter Fraud and Election Fraud as Bush did in 2000. Their election campaign tactics more resemble a campaign of Terror than anything else I've blogged. McCain/Palin are so extremeist,mindless,negative, atrocious to the sensibilities of decent people, it's as if they wear the most horrid nose repellant known to man. Like that 70s pop song: "You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road, stinkin' to high heaven. Go on now Stink !!! " How else can the concept of minority rule by fear, economic Slavery(is there realy anyother type of Slavery?) be sensed ? Their stench is enough
to drive ANY good people away

Even if Obama loses, these two morons are free to leave. Everyone agreed?

Sure it's not a problem for them, they're rich!
Shucks, if it gets that bad, I don't think I could leave. Too much money.

Good riddance.

Get in line behind Alec Baldwin. He promised to leave the country in 2000 if Bush were elected. That was eight years ago and 'W' is still President & Alec is still here:-( Give me the word and I'll fly the whole crew out of the country. All I need is an airplane and one parachute:-)

Thanks to Bush...you might have a point Sirsam.

Anyone who wants to leave. There is a plane leaving every fifteen minutes. Get on it. We need the space.

Take Us With You!!! PLEASE!!

I'm sure all of america will miss them
unfortunately, like phil collins in the uk, the tossers always return

I'm not sure if it's offensive when celebrities come out with nonsense like this, when they live in countries where people have paid with their lives for the right to democratically vote in who ever they want, sounds like they don't appreciate playing their part in making their country a success rather than running out on it
(a benefit of having only two to vote for, better with one like communist society, but I digress, gets rid of thatcher's favourite minority rule)

If McCain wins, my wife and I would love to leave the country... It would make me very sad to leave the country I love and was born in. To be honest, I don't think any country right now would even take Americans, even for political asylum, nobody wants us right now, we can't even move to Canada nor Mexico, legally that is...

Who cares?!

I didn't even think they lived in the U.S. to begin with.

They certainly made their fame and fortune in the U.S. though.

How convenient to be part of the elite jet set that can just up and move on a whim and then turn it into a hollow political statement.

Then again, people of their humble means can't afford adequate healthcare here in the U.S., so it's understandable that they are so upset with this country and forced to leave compared to normal folks.

Honestly,

Good riddance.... we should yank their visas and disallow them from coming back. See how well they do afterwards... oh wait when was Seals last hit????

Honestly, we are screwed if Obama or McCain wins.... so lose lose...

Thanks for playing.

Well, that's just so great that they have enough money to just leave whenever they felt like it. I wish I could just leave is he becomes president. Which I am sure that he will not.

Why aren't we holding anybody to their word who said they would leave if Bush becomes president?

For every expatriate, there are dozens of people elsewhere who would rather be living healthier and richer in the US.

I've never understood those that are in Hollywood coming out for this or that person. Who really cares what those in Hollywood think - they are actors, singers, etc. popular for their entertainment value only. Keep it that way - we don't care what you think or where you live. Why wait till after the election - just move already and cancel all of those wonderful american contracts you currently hold while your at it that helps support your lifestyle. Bye Bye Already.

I"m reading the posts..... you guys do know she's German and from Germany...right?

There's that word "Patriotism" again.

Funny how our country is completely divided.

There seems to be two america's.

One America has no desire to broaden their depths and want so stay on one path without deviation.

The other America wants to evolve, try new things, and be more pro-active.

*yes. i realize there is a gray area*

It sucks it has to be this way. But....the idealists say it's what makes America America.

Heidi is from Germany....safe to say she spends more time in Germany anyway. At least from the German magazines I read or when watching ProsiebenSat1welt it appears she's there more than here.

Seal is from the UK....pretty safe to say...he spends as much time as he can in her presence due to the fact his career isn"t all that huge anymore.

It"s not a benefit or loss if they stay or go.

This country has bigger problems to deal with than a super models choice of home.

I'm certain that they're out on the campaign trail daily helping to assure that Obama gets the win.

1. If everyone who said that they would leave the country if Bush was elected actually did, there would be few in Hollywood today.

2. I like neither of the choices this year. Some of the best candidates were left on the sidelines.

3. The battle for building our great nation has been waged for 232+ years and it will continue long after we are all turned to dust. Even if your candidate wins, it is not over.

4. For those who stay the battle will continue. For those who leave the battle moves.

goodbye expatriates!! As for me, I will stay and keep plugging. No matter who wins, they will get my support and given a chance. Stars move here because the taxes are better than the UK I have heard. And of course, so many Americans that are 'childish' make them heros...the true heroes in my book are every day people: nurses, teachers, ministers of all faiths, community leaders, ?policeman, firemen and anyone who tries to be a good HUMAN first, and serve others as much as possible second.

Why can't they have this opinion?

Because they have money and fame are they no longer allowed to speak up.

Puh-leeze!!

i was born here
i love my country
i am a patriot and a good citizen

but i already have updated my passport and planned a trip for out of the country
and i might not come back if john mccain becomes president

i will still love my country
but i will not live here if the country elects him

is that suppose to be a threat on America or something?

I'm kind of confused as to why this is a popular story.

A supermodel and a singer shouldn't have THAT much influence on the American populations' voting preference.

At least I hope not.

Just a final note from me. I think this country has enough to worry about with all that happening in the stock market and high cost of living and such. I does not matter if they stay or go. They are like children who say I want it my way or I will take my toys and go home. Well I say again, "Good-bye to them and fare well.

her acting sux, his music sux lil babies fat dicks...no one will miss them...if barack obama is elected we should all move to africa

Who gives a flying fuck?

I honestly don't blame them...now only if all of us had that option

Thanks to all who responded to my statements.

People say this all the time. It only proves their lack of character, patriotism, and intelligence. It's defeatist and sad. I actually feel sorry for people like this and want to reach out and give them a hug.

this article would be beneficial to people who are influenced over celebrities.
Seal should of been specific to the reasons why they dont want McCain as president.

OBama 2008, hopefully.

wow... who cares? I think all celebrity should leave this country for a while, allow us sheep to reorganize our priorites. The less of these bozos around, the better!

Can we just tell them McCain won?

...As if anyone really cares about what Hedi Klum and Seal are doing anyway.

Is that a threat or promise?

can they take me with them.

I don't need to stick around to know what four more years of right wing policies are going to be like.

Hows Canada this time of the year?

My question is this: What do I care where they live anyways? I mean really does it matter to anyone. Will the U.S. suddenly collapse if they leave?

I'm having deja vu... didn't we hear this stuff in the Bush vs. Kerry election?

I didn't know Seal was a "soul legend"...hmm, learn something new everyday.

Any room for a third wheel?

Seal needs to shut his mouth, unless he is singing. How could a man with all of that talent be so ignorant ?

if I had the money to do it, I'd been out a long time ago.

but Heidi does look hot - especially that pic of her milk moustache...so she can come live next to me...

I mean...

Is this REALLY news? I thought Seal was British and Heidi was from Sweden or something...

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YA ON THE WAY OUT!

Heidi... can you just leave Project Runway in the U.S. I have really kinda grown accustomed to that show. Fierce!!!! LOL

But in all seriousness. As much as I hate to say it Conservatives do make a great point when they Liberals are quick to flee this country when the going gets tough. I know I’m guilty of saying (in a joking manner) that I will leave the country if McCain is elected. Maybe we all need to rethink that approach. After all this is OUR COUNTRY! Having citizenship should be like being married.

“For better or worse, richer and poorer, in sickness and health…”

We gotta be willing to withstand the good and bad times. If things go astray we’ve got to be willing to fight for our rights and get things back on track.

I dunno… just something to think about.

-Jaye ;-/

it's just a publicity stunt - they are banking on Obama winning. I bet they don't move anywhere, even if McCain wins and this will all be forgotten about in one months time.

I think we should all sign a card and say "Good-bye".
I don't like some of the ways the government is running the country and our lives either, but this is my home and I have freedoms here that I would not have somewhere else. I can't change it if I run to another country.

The US needs liberals willing to fight for their values come hell or high water. Liberals who realize their responsibility to make things happen isn't culminated in a once every 4 years election. We can only make it happen through daily, weekly, monthly action. If you think your responsibility ends with the casting of a ballot, maybe you should leave. After you cast your ballot. Bye!

They should leave the USA and the contracts that they have here too! :)

NOOOOO NOT MY PROJECT RUNWAY!!!!

*weeps*

Seriously though, so many people I know are threatening to leave the country...nothing new, move along folks.

Whooptie freaking doo! I might miss Seal a little but I won't miss Heidi one bit. Good for them- they actually have the means to leave so I say do it regardless of who wins the election.

I make no threats.
I will move if they win.

My wife and I have been planning our move for a
couple months now.

We may still move even if Obama wins.

I can make my own electricity.
I can grow my own food.
I can harvest my own water.
I can make my own heat.

I cannot provide myself with adequate healthcare.

If my government and/or country will not provide
me with medical care, I will leave.

I will never bankrupt myself for healthcare, no matter
how much I like the country I am in.

I think this is easier said coming from someone who isn't a native to this country but I don't blame her and I'd probably consider doing the same if I had the options available.

As much as people might like to frame this as an ultimatum "Get Obama in office or we're leaving" it's almost certainly nothing of the sort.

I think it's a statement of intent rather than a threat...

mccain/palin winning? that loss for America would be the beginning of either a revolution.. or a mass exodus of citizens

Me (20)

Great way to emphasize the ages.
On another note, Seal saying, "That is not a problem for us", in reference to leaving the country.

yeah we'll it's a problem for me!

anyone wanna donate a plane ticket for someone with the same ambitions if McPalinater wins?

I accept only Euros

If you put a man over your love for this country, then maybe you should leave. Me, no way any one person or group is going to make me leave. And as far as Heidi Klum and her husband leaving, so what? They're important how?

Promises, promises, can we get that in writing? These two aren't even Americans to start with.
