OlderAngelina Jolie Backs Barack Obama?
Angelina Jolie opens up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Here are some choice quotes via Us Weekly:
On why she could be voting for Barack Obama: “Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family but would not be a reason to vote for someone.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)
On why she’s proud of the USA: “I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”
On her twins Knox and Vivienne (3-months-old on Sunday): “It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”
On struggling to find alone time with Brad: “Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”
On how fame has changed motherhood for her: “I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

If people are voting for mcain just because angie is voting for barack…shows how many F*ckin stupid supports mcain has…pathetic
ers are
I hate how he is trying to win votes by telling stupid lies and propoganda..seriously!?
Mcain voters are freaking crazy!
Well, I do like the fact that she’s not committed to backing a particular candidate. I’m so tired of these celebs and their endorsements, as if it means something. But, it makes sense that she would say what she said. Democrats claim to be so open and accepting of everyone, but they’re not. If you even act like you might not support Obama, you are attacked for being a racist. It’s really sad.
hhmhmhmhmh….oh anjie!i’ll vote for you babe!

Jill - If X is backing Obama it is not because of his stance on issues it is because the bleach she uses on her roots seeped into her brain and she thinks he has the best “tan”.

Read it yourself. They are expeted to join him,but they are not there. They may never join him as well. They went to France for no reason and Brad went to Germany alone to start his work. isn’t it weird that like always they all didn’t go there once and together?

“They are expected to join him…” Maybe the babies have a pediatrician appointment…maybe she has some thing she wants to do in France.
Who knows? She IS expected to join him. Period. Stop.
They may never join him? Okay…
Winged monkey might fly out of your A$$, but lets not get too excited til it happens!!!!

WTF does this even mean? God, these trolls and fanistons are really bottom feeders. Cannot spell, cannot write ….. geez louise, even those for whom English is a second (or third ) language write better than the trolls!!!

There is no pictoral proof that Brad is in Berlin. He is not shooting IG yet which is not shooting in Berlin until next week when Brad’s scenes begin. QT and the nazi playing actors are shooting scenes outside Berlin, Brad is not in these scenes and has not been seen in Saxony where QT is currently working.
Some totally unrealiable sites are saying Brad is in Berlin based on erroneous reports that he is already working in IG, and he is not.
If you have pixs of Brad in Berlin now show them. Prove it.

YOU ARE SO DESPERATE, JARED! WHY DON’T YOU INCLUDE THE FULL QUOTE, WHERE SHE SAID THAT’S NOT ENOUGH REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM? IDIOT.
Here it is:
“Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay,” she tells the German edition of Vanity Fair. “They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family.”
Still, Jolie - whose father, Jon Voight, has endorsed John McCain - says just because Obama would be a good example for her family isn’t “reason enough to vote for him.”
======================
Thank you. She doesn’t vote for Obama

Sorry Nicole. US Magazine took the German translation TOTALLY out of context, and as anyone can see, took that other translated statement and did NOT even put it into context. It is very deceptive. I would take NO stock in the Janice MIN US ragazine version of the translation, they seemed afraid to put it into context and deliberately wanted to make it appear as if she was still on the fence - yet in the article it’s very clear she is most likely voting Obama. There are NO caveats. Angelina believes in people making and coming to THEIR OWN conclusions. I think she thinks it’s an abuse of celebrity power to say vote for this person because I am. PLUS, I think many of the people who soooo need to know who Angelina is voting for, should also realize, there are at LEAST 8 other people on the ticket BESIDES Obama, McCain. Jolie in interviews, when pressed, has come out and mentioned ONLY Obama and Biden in a positive way and said NOTHING about McFAILIN’. Muahahaha. :-D
Funny the german sites are saying brad is expected to begin filmimg next week, people mag totally mis read those sites or are totally lieing.
I love, love Angie, so this is very disappointing. Oh, well…agree to disagree.
meant #64
Anyone who’s not bedazzled by the pretty packaging of Obama and actually look into what he is about will come away NOT voting for him.
Don’t be lazy and do some research on your own. The media is making it too easy for you without you realizing that they have persuaded you to vote their agenda.
Wake up America.

STARS SHOULD NOT PICK WHO WE VOTE FOR!!!! I DONT LIKE WHAT MCCAIN STANDS FOR AND I DONT CARE IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD LOVED HIM I WOULD STILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!! I REALLY HOPE THERE ARE NOT PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE VOTING FOR BARACK BECAUSE A STAR YOU LIKE IS VOTING FOR HIM OR BECAUSE A FRIEND IS VOTING FOR HIM. VOTE BECAUSE YOU BELEIVE IN WHAT THE PERSON STANDS FOR BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. COME ON PEOPLE LEARN THE ISSUE LISTEN TO THE CANIDATES AND CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF. OH AND VOTE
Brad is not working yet. I don’t know where PEOPLE got its info but they are wrong.
obama/biden will be good for the nation………….mccain is spread racial hatred and that is dispiscable i almost afraid for the safety of the obama family
