Gene Simmons Apologizes for Voting for Obama

Despite his recent on-air "troubles" with long-time girlfriend and mother of his two children, Shannon Tweed on his A&E Family Jewels show (airing family laundry on-air is a reason to doubt it's veracity) KISS bassist Gene Simmons recently sat down with FOX Business' Varney and Co. to apologize for voting for Barack Obama.

Being a long-time KISS fan myself (if you've read any of my other blogs, especially the lamely named, Entertainment Breakdown one, you'll already know this) I've known for a while that Simmons is an entrepreneur and a free-market advocate and has espoused conservative values for many years. That is why I was very surprised to learn he actually voted for a Socialist president. However, I am not surprised in the slightest at his change of heart (like many still waking up to their three-year long Obama hangover) and public reevaluation. The guy is just to good with money to let an inexperienced and left-leaning, "spread the wealth" thinking "leader" fruther destroy the economy. Regardless of his blaming it on ATMs and airport kiosks.
