Celebrities and Politics

There has been a rising number of celebrities involving themselves in the political world. Some actors and actresses in the USA have decided to take it upon themselves to help represent those in the running for President.
What I don't understand is what most go through these people's minds when they decide to involve themselves in something they are best to stay away from. Many of these celebrities are role models for young and old people alike, and if somebody sees their favourite actor or actress is 'Voting for Obama!' then they might just 'Vote for Obama!' too.
I don't think they see the influence they have over people, because it is a major one.
Yes, you can support somebody in the running. Yes, you can be as interested in politics as you like. But it is when they involve themselves in it, it aggravates me. Either they are very naive or completely understand what they are doing.
