Joel Madden, Nicole Richie Announce Support For Barack Obama

Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden and socialite girlfriend Nicole Richie are supporting Barack Obama in his bid for the presidential position, Madden confirms.

As if donning an "Obama T-shirt" wasn't enough to confirm his choice, Madden answers, "Yes, we are," when asked by usmagazine.com if they are supporting the Democrat.

He continues, "He is a good man, he is cool. He is just a great person overall."

The couple had attended the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Palm Springs with their newborn daughter, Harlow.

They join other celebrities who are publicly endorsing Obama's campaign including Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney, and Oprah Winfrey.
