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.”

Wear an Obama Strong Wristband just like Angelina, Brad, George and Halle at http://www.obamastrongwristbands.com
Obama’s association with Acorn needs to be investigated. He said that he used Acorn for the primary. ummm, maybe that’s how he won Hilary — vote fraud. There are too many questions about Obama’s association with those radical and terrorist groups.
He’s a good example because he’s half black and one of her kids is black? Hmmm, now there’s common sense for you!
PS I LOVE ANGIE AND BRAD THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE FROM WHAT I SEE AND THEIR FAMILY IS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE THE WAY THEY TALK ABOUT THIER KIDS IT REALLY SWEET :)
Brad, Angie, and Jen all for Obama’08.
Joile was for MCain, because she is against the pullout of Iraq as it means certain death to millions of women and children.
But………she can’t reconcile voting for a possible Sarah Pailin.
Angie certainly hints that she is for Obama, diplomatically. Very smart girl.
Action for ********!

It is on, ladies and gentlemen. In a perfect world we’d have a sound bite of Quentin Tarantino yelling “allriiiiiight, aaaaand action!”for you, but you have to use your imagination for now. Inglorious ********, the huge mountain QT is starting to ascend, has started filming today in the outskirts of Sebnitz, Germany, with Christoph Waltz and others in full SS Nazi gear stepping into frame for what we can only assume will be one of the most memorable opening scenes of a Tarantino movie ever since, well, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill combined. For Babelsberg Film Studios, where the most of the rest of the movie will be shot, this is the 6th big Hollywood production. For two casting events a few weeks ago, a total of several thousand people showed up, each applicant pursuing the dream of being on a Tarantino movie set. While Quentin is letting his SS villains loose on a poor french farmer’s family, construction is well on the way in and around the studio lot for the main production starting in a few days. For those of you still reading up and down the cast list, here are some quick bits for you: Christian Berkel is playing a Frenchman, and Tarantino veterans Omar Doom and Michael Bacall will both be in the film, Doom playing one of the ********.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The opening scene does not feature Brad or his ********!!
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.”
++++++++++++++++
So true, Angie. It isn’t reason enough to vote for Obama just because he would be a good example for your family.
Now People is wrong? They obviously know more than you. They told he was there on Friday. and Famile were not there.
hmmmm wonder what has happened to all the talk about Love, Travelling together, Love living in Berlin and Love being together.
Now Brad had to go to berlin without them! And Family are EXPECTED to join him LATER?! :roll: hmmmm
I grew up in a church that was really homophobic and I am far from that. I have friends who are in jail but that don’t make me a criminal in fact I have never had any trouble with the law. If you take almost anyone in politic you will be able to find a connection with “bad people” but that don’t make them bad. Do not make your choose about a person because of who they are or were friends with let it be about the person and who they are. Jesus hung out with hookers and thieves so let not talk bad about him because who he associated with.
# 82 Vote for Change @ 10/10/2008 at 6:15 pm Brad, Angie, and Jen all for Obama’08.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Sorry, despite NOT having any such diplomatic responsibilities like Jolie does that would require her to try and stay diplomatic/neutral and not publicly tell people who to vote for, Manistonhas straight up REFUSED to endorse or state even mild support for Obama with her do-nothing asss, saying and I QUOTE: “I don’t want any part of that catfight.” Yes, you read right: she called our general election, a ‘catfight.’ She was high as a kite, so you could blame that - but still. She is a lame asss’d loser.

Knock it off pusy cat dull! God you’re annoying! It doesn’t matter what dumb@ss things come out of your mouth, it doesn’t change the fact that Brad is in love with Angie and their family, Angelina is in love with Brad and their family, and that’s just the way it is. Whatever you have to tell yourself to stay sane though, right? Have all the brain freezes you want,about everything Brad and Angie have ever said about how their family functions, I know it’s not hard for you. But just go take a nap already!

these guys or Diddy?
Angelina has not endorsed anyone in the presidential election. No one at all. She has the right like all US citizens to keep her vote her business only. She has said complementary things about Biden and Obama, but she has not, and I stress NOT, said who she will vote for.
It is none of anyone’s business but hers who she votes for.
US (and JJ by using US as a source), has misrepresented Angelina’s position. For US this is not unusual, it is a tabloid after all.
But in the long run and in light of all the turmoil going on in the world now due to the Depression and economic pain and extreme psychological pain that has hit all of us, this whole manufactured cra* as to who one votes for is increasingly irrelevant. The next US president will inherit Bush’s complete mess from the worst US president ever.
JMHO
TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR SE NATOR OR PRESIDENT OF THE USA IS TO BE INVESTIGATED FROM THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTH UNTIL YESTERDAY……….. IF BARACK OBAMA HAD DANERGOUS ASSOCIATIONS WITH ANY TERROIST GROUPS HE WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR IN HIS POLITICAL CARREER WHERE ARE THE RATIONAL THINKING PEOPLE? DON’T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE POLITICAL PROCESS HONESTLY THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO KNOW THAT THERE IS LOADS OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BELEIVE THESE LIES ABOUT OBAMA ……..WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE…………….. THIS IS SCARY………. SOMEONE HAS TURNED BACK THE HANDS OF TIME …..THIS IS THE 21 CENTURY HAVE W E LEARNED ANYTHING………….. ALL OF US HERE ON THIS WEBSITE HAVE THE MOST MODERN FORM OF INFORMATION AND STILL THERE ARE SOME WHO BELEIVE THESE AWFUL LIES ABOUT OBAMA…………….THIS IS HOW NAZI GERMANY BECAME STRONG ……….. BUT THAT WAS WHEN NO ONE HAD ACCESS TO MUCH INFORMATION………….AHHHAHHHA, LET’S SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE ARE A EDUCATED NATION ABLE TO OPERATE A SIMPLE COMPUTER
CLINIQUA @ 10/10/2008 at 5:55 pm
Jolie in interviews, when pressed, has come out and mentioned ONLY Obama and Biden in a positive way and said NOTHING about McFAILIN

He’s a good example because he’s half black and one of her kids is black? Hmmm, now there’s common sense for you!
