Until recently, most celebrities were staying quiet on the subject of Syria.
TV legend Ed Asner told The Hollywood Reporter he believes it's because "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama."
While notorious anti-war protester celebs like Sean Penn and George Clooney have remained silent, only Madonna and rapper Azealia Banks spoke out (loudly) on their social media accounts.
Until now.
After President Barack Obama addressed the nation on Tuesday to discuss the United States' potential military involvement in Syria, many celebrities finally spoke out on Twitter.
Here's what they had to say.
The skeptics:
Fascinated to see how Pres Obama tries to persuade Americans what should be done in #Syria when he doesn't seem to have a clue himself. #CNN

Is anyone else super unnerved by Obama's Syria speech? I'm all for peace over politics but this situation is very unique. What's your take?

Well, turns out the world is F'd beyond reasonable repair. Obama would have been a great Tevye. "On the other hand..."

Obama must now start focusing on OUR COUNTRY, jobs, healthcare and all of our many problems. Forget Syria and make America great again!

The supporters:
I will always respect and honor whoever is our president. I can't imagine the immense amount of pressure he's under. Just worried. :(

Good speech for Obama on Syria. Steadfast but patient.

The undecided:
Did you watch the President's address?! (I did, from my trailer, in between scenes...) What did u think? What are your thoughts on #Syria ?!

Watching the Presidential Address To The Nation. Who else is watching? Should we attack Syria or not?

And the humorous:Obama had 2 separate lunches with Republicans & Democrats today. Then Chris Christie said, “Maybe I DO want to be president.” #fallonmono
