Brad Pitt & Barack Obama are Related

The View gals asked Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama this morning to help clear up the rumors that he’s related to Brad Pitt.

“I guess we are ninth cousins something removed or something,” Barack said.

Jokingly he added, “I think he got the better looking side of the gene pool.”

Barbara Walters couldn’t agree more: “We thought you were very sexy looking (applause). Don’t you think so? (to audience)”

Apparently, the other Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, is cousins with Pitt’s partner, Angelina Jolie, twice removed.

Um, yeah. Just so you know! Watch the clip of Barack on The View here.

I remember this story from a few months ago when Brad was promoting MIR. I get that there’s a lot going on and some journalists are preoccupied with the elections, but dammit, there’s a need for someone to serve as a continuity person or whatever you call it in order to avoid this needless repetition.

================
Yes, this story is pretty old, I saw it a while ago myself

OK. We get it. Brad might be supporting Obama. Good for him. Free country. Please get out and VOTE in November everybody. But please please vote, OK?

Hiya Tijen and Bailey—OK, I’m done with political cr@p…BTW—IMO who ever is elected is going to have to clean up the big pile of mess GWB left us with and it ain’t fair…That jack-ass is going to go fishing and hunting w/o being accountable for what he did to this country and to this world!!! JMHO…
OK, I am going out shopping with flamingo who now has her semi wings :-) BBL…,

Tamlin, we got your point, Brad supports Obama, ok, you can leave for good now. If Obama got more votes before, he will get less votes after today because of you.

tamlin the idiot! @ 03/28/2008 at 8:07 pm

got to hell!

Hey, I read these posts and I agree with Tamlin and all the other cool headed Obama people, Obama is a unifier and represents what Brad and Angie believe in. Makes sense. Hillary is divisive. Polls show she can’t win against McCain. No way. I like Obama. I think it is cool if Brad supports him. I voted for Obama. Time for a change in America. 8 years of Bush and 8 years of “Monicagate” is enough! Enough Clinton and Bush - we need change in America. No more oral sex in the oval office. And Miss Hillary, being First Lady is not experience. I mean, do I want Laura Bush as friggin’ President?

Have fun Guli!

oi,tamlin got a back-up right away.

She went on the attack. She does not know me. And she automatically assumed that I was a liar? How dare she?

What about you! You attacked me, and you don’t even know me. You automatically assumed that I was a racist. How dare you! This is not how college-educated people behave/react.

I have news for you. I am a mix of East and West and I have a Muslim brother-in-law. The fact that I don’t care for Obama has absolutely nothing to do with race or religion! I have different races and different religions in my extended family. I’m very much a citizen of the world.

Now, why don’t you GET LOST!

What’s the matter?

Have you outgrown the ‘Breaking News/Insider/This Just In’ moniker?

Get a colonic ASAP… maybe the ole granny panties will fit better.

Are you really comparing Laura to Hillary??? :lol: They don’t belong in the same sentence. I give up.

Guli
Have fun shopping!
Totally OT: I really wanted to see the movie 21 with Bosworth, Fishburne and Spacey. Got really bad reviews though. I am fascinated by the MIT blackjack team. Think I will wikipedia them and get a break from someone’s b.s. here. BBL.

OK, OK I am out of here but how come we never heard from …..
Tamlin and # 247 Voice of reason @ 03/28/2008 at 8:07 pm before????????? Suck it up ladies, busted!!!!

madame guli ! correct!

There is no comparison between Laura Bush and Hillery. She has no political aspirations. I think she has been a very good first lady.

Remember BAMPZS fans…

Trigger’s tactics are remarkably similar to the trolls who invaded the Rush Limbaugh thread.

If you are going to be a racist be an honest one. Just cause you are part Muslim does not give you teh authority to say anti-Muslim things. I am part Japanese but I have no right to attack Asians. As a matter of fact, I should know better. Of course, I can get lost that way you can blindly keep posting about US Senators being in Madrassas. have you any idea what kind of security and background check is needed for a US Senator to be sworn into office. So conveniently, this little Madrassa fact was overlooked by the Senate. What a load of crap. Yeah, keep attacking Obama and Muslims then get your little applaud from those who agree with you and feel better about yourself and then somehow convince yourself that if Angelina and Brad met you they would somehow agree with your sentiments. So many of you have spent your entire time here denigrating a man who went from a lower class upbringing to Harvard, to the Senate to now a historic candidacy. Adn somehow, you all feel above him enough to attack people who claim that Brad Pitt would somehow see value in such an impressive and historical political figure. You are right. This is not the place for me. My Stanford degree won’t allow it. Toodles. Enjoy ranting without measure. That is what you want - a forum to spew hatred and not be checked on it. The floor is yours. Enjoy. And sleep well tonight as you think of your great accomplishment today. Toodles. I’m done with you and racists like you.

miz walter looks like a jaguar!

Look around the mouths of Angie and Hiliary—yup, you can see it! Awesome :)

Hiya Lady Anusti, yep leave it up to you to crack me up. :lol: ..OK, BB in an hour ….Anustin you are a hoot …and a good friend. Thank you :-)

Since you love to espouse Obama’s philosophies, don’t you think that it’s a bit hypocritical to inquire and retrieve private, classified information about a private figure, given that Obama was recently a victim of your special brand of buttinskyism?

You’re full of $h*t; let that fact sink in!

Conveniently, you did not answer to my points made but instead went ahead and made yours with blind conviction. Good job to you . Good night. And given you don’t know me, it would make you ill to entertain you might be wrong right? No, don’t answer. Answer to Orchid - she is a lot more like you than me, She hates Muslims and differing points of views. Take care, I am off and enjoy!

The more I think about it, I think that Brad talked about this during TAOJJ promotion. I think the Inside Edition reporter told him about his connection to the James family and I think that Brad said that he remember hearing that he was distantly related to Obama.

Alexanderina @ 03/28/2008 at 8:52 pm

damn the thread is a freaking mess. How the heck do we know who Brad or Angie is supporting for President? And please don’t tell me we have some insiders here that know exactly what goes on in the JPs’ household or how they think. I guess it is just another typical crazy day on JJ

#194,thats not a garbage.this is not just the place……get her number.

bravo sara!!!! love your post!

I think they are both hot. I can see the resemblance. Same hotness. Cool. I am voting for Barack so is everyone I went to school with. I like him.
