By Samantha Russell - email

Pop-singer Katy Perry wore her politics on her sleeve at a rally for President Obama in Las Vegas... or more like her stomach.

Perry is not the first performer to appear on the Obama campaign trail, just last week Bruce Springsteen joined former President Bill Clinton at a reelection campaign event in Parma, Ohio.
