Beyonce was recently photographed rocking statement-making 2012 presidential election hoops dangling from her fine-tuned ears.
The words "Bama" were nestled inside of the circular jewelry and swayed as she walked. The earrings clearly point out that for this coming election in November, Beyonce is going to be checking off Barack Obama's name. The songstress and her husband Jay-Z recently finished doing a fundraiser with Obama in New York City so it wasn't much of a surprise to see her showing him support. Unlike the other celebrities who might step out onto the street in a Barack Obama or Mitt Romney t-shirt, Beyonce lets her fashion sense and her love for Obama shine show through with her political 2012 presidential election ear decor.
