"I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Obama, his wife and his children, and they are the American dream," she says. "They are so elegant, so classy, so intelligent and everything that I want to be. They make me really proud of my country."
The Grammy winner's husband Jay-Z has already been a strong supporter of the campaign, performing at Obama benefits and rallies across the country.
Beyoncé will be releasing a new album under the name of her alter-ego, I Am... Sasha Fierce on Nov. 18. Hmm... is Sasha going to try and vote too?
