Halle Berry, was among the most diehard of Obama supporters in 2008. She made numerous appearances for Obama on MTV's Rock the Vote, and sported a t-shirt "Barack the Vote." She donated the maximum $2300 to his Presidential campaign. According to Politico, During the height of Obamamania back in February 2008, at a campaign rally in Philadelphia Berry declared:

"I'll do whatever he says to do," actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

Now Berry is in a bit of hot water, and catching criticism from all sides for an incident that happened at the Montreal airport. Berry, her husband and baby daughter were allowed to bypass the security line at the busy airport, much to the dissapointment of other waiting passengers. A security guard simply lifted the red rope and allowed her and her family to got to the front, instead of waiting.

From Yahoo News Jan. 8:

Quebec journalist Marieve Paradis said on her blog Friday, she spotted Berry, her partner, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, and their child, being led to the front of the security line at a Montreal airport Monday, while other passengers waited more than an hour.

Alexis Stodgeill of Black Voices news site comments:

Normally, this would not seem like a big deal -- Hollywood A-listers get led to the front of lines all the time. But following on the heels of the recent failed terror attack in the U.S., any breech in airport security seems like too much.

Various media are reporting that the individual who allowed Berry to pass has not been fired, nor even re-assigned duty. Though a supervisor has promised that they won't do it again.

Note - all Canadian security personnnel at airports are members of the Canadian Airport Worker's Union.
