Beyoncé writes an open letter in praise of 'inspirational' President Obama as she casts her vote

In April 2012, she wrote an open letter to Michelle Obama telling the world how proud she was of the First Lady.

Now, Beyoncé has penned a touching public correspondence to Michelle's husband, President Barack Obama, just hours before casting her vote.

The music superstar has expressed her utmost 'respect and adoration' for the world's most famous leader as Americans head to the polls to cast their vote in the 2012 election.

Beyoncé, 31, has fully thrown her support behind the man she calls 'inspiring', after her and husband Jay-Z continued to do all they could to get Obama in office for a second term.
 
In the letter, which she posted on her Tumblr, she writes: 'President Obama, Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves.
'You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be. You are the reason my daughter and nephew will grow up knowing that they can truly be ANYTHING they want to be.'

The Brooklyn rapper changed the chorus of the track to 'I got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one.'

Obama said of his two celebrity friends: 'They tell the story of what our country is, but also of what it should be and what it can be.'
Beyoncé took her support for the campaign one step further last week by wearing a pair of earrings with the President's name on them.

And now sales for these earrings have gone through the roof with 1000s of pairs being snapped up by fans across the world.

The pro-Obama earrings were designed by Puerto Rican jewelry designer, Erika Peña.

Many celebrities have been coming out to try and add some last minute vigour to the Obama campaign, including Katy Perry.
The singer posted a picture of herself with her grandmother and the president, with the caption: 'May I exclusively present what might be the cutest photo ever taken: Me, Gma & POTUS! Happy voting tomorrow!'
