OlderJon Voight: Barack Obama is a False Prophet
Jon Voight blasted President Barack Obama at the Republican congressional fundraiser dinner at the Washington Convention Center on Monday (June 8) in Washington D.C. Here are snippets from the 70-year-old actor’s fiery speech:
“Are we supposed to sitting and waiting, watching for the possibility of a new Holocaust? Who’s going to take the responsibility to keep America, I mean Israel, safe. I’ll tell you why this really scares the hell out of me. Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.
“It saddens me greatly to think we were the great powerful good in the world. We as Americans knew America to be strong. We were the liberators of the entire world. We are becoming a weak nation.
“Obama really thinks he is a soft-spoken Julius Caesar. He think he’s going to conquer the world with his soft-spoken sweet talk and really think he’s going to bring all of the enemies of the world into a little playground, where they’ll swing each other back and forth.
“We and we alone are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression. Let’s give thanks to [Republicans] for not giving up and staying the course to bring an end to this false prophet, Obama.”

what a nutter. no wonder angelina disowned him.
well said, Jon!
Wow!!! Angelina in 20 years.
whoa now.
homeboy ain’t shy of a little controversy it seems.
The apple does not fall far from the tree. Evenutally Angelina will line up with her father’s politics - she is not that far away now.
A failed actor and father. Angelina hardly gives him the time of day and rightly so, the man’s an oath. He needs to clean up his own backyard and shut the ‘F’ up.
@hey shmu uc: Strange - I didn’t know UN Ambassadors and Refugee Advocates were Republican. Clearly you’re confused and haven’t been following Angelina, because anyone knows she’s hard-core Democrat.
well everyone is entitled to their opinion but the fact is that president obama has only been in office for 5 months so i think john voight’s criticism is excessive and frankly absurd. if he’d made a comment like this during the george w bush presidency, voight would have been slammed as “anti-american”. it’s nice to see freedom of speech is back in effect in the u.s.a. under president obama. for heaven’s sake, give the man a chance.
I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Voight senior and Voight junior (Jolie) both think by virtue of their celebrity fame that they can speak out about issues that they know very little about. At least Jolie keeps most of her stuff confined to photo opportunities of herself in foreign aid camps or attending international meetings (like the Hague) at which she glares her disapproval at the participants. They are both private citizens and entitled to their opinions but I wish they’d confine them to private moments.
When did he become so “involved” in politics?! Everytime I look around Voigt is blasting someone about something that he probably knows NOTHING about. Just because you played the secretary of state in Transformers doesn’t mean you’re all of a sudden a political genius!
He is entitled to his opinions, this is America after all. Freedom of Speech. I have to give him credit that he is not afraid to speak his mind. But what he says is not necessarily what the majority thinks so I know he is going to be attack for what he said.
Jon Voight is completely crazy! Stay away from him, Angelina!
He’s as stupid as Bush, I can’t believe we let this kind of person speak publicly…. what an idiot
um, he should really go sit down somewhere
Pattycake, you’re an idiot. STFU. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Amen Jon Voight!
Just because he is the first colored skin president doesn’t mean he is messiah.
People, before you bash Jon Voight or me, please be educated and learn about his policies and the future outcome of it.
Angelina does not speak to father and does not share her father’s political views. I hope she continues to keep her children away from this man. I have a feeling that the reason she stays away from him is the ugliest reason of abuse there is. Protect your kids, Angie and Brad!
good for him. i’m glad some people shed light on the bad situation that is barack obama. someome needs to speak out and take all the people who still think barack is fit to be president and doing an excellent job out of their delusional states of mind.
Jon Voight is a senile old man. “We were the liberators of the entire world”??? WTF??
A major “whatever” to this guy. Give Obama a chance. Does Voight think that Obama is a magician who could have changed America and the rest of the world within a week? Voight probably wouldn’t even manage it in his whole presidential career. I’m not even American but I’m so on the Obama’s side.
Well said!!!!!!!!!
I think the man is just miserable about life and family. Which he doesn’t have. Obama, on the other hand have that.
Voight should start a twitter page to raise his profile like most struggling jobbing actors and quit the mindless rants.
Um….now I see where AJ gets her nuttiness from…
Totally agree Jon.
Freak…. who thinks of Obama as a prophet???
Oh, I know, crazy overly political people like Jon Voight.
Only people I’ve seen who claim Obama is a prophet or the Messiah are right-wingers.
Jon Voight sounds like a neoconservative nazi. Shut up and sit down. I think he got punched too hard during the making of “Champ”, great movie though. Is Angie letting him see the grandchildren yet or not? It would so do much for his demeanor. I think his trip to Israel might have come with a little brain washing, no?
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies……’just jared’
That silly old fool needs to take a nap somewhere.
Not only does NO ONE give damn what he thinks, he’s being absolutely ridiculous. As for ‘the possibility of a new holocaust’ . . . is he serious? First he wonders who is going to keep America safe, and then he CORRECTS himself to say Israel. ISRAEL? You’re concerned about Israel? If this economy doesn’t get any better we won’t have the resources to help OURSELVES, much less freaking Israel! (Before anyone says anything, the poor state of the economy has nothing to do with Obama, it’s the result of the poor practices of our PREVIOUS presidency.) I know Israel is supposed to be allies of ours, but come on! Does he even know what is coming out of his own mouth? Does he even know what year it is?
Someone needs to get that senile a-hole an easy chair and a crocheted blanket. STAT.
Pattycake STFU u r just like him, a “person” who doesnt really know what the eff r they talking about. at least Jolie is trying to put a light on those places where is still war torn and/or poor. If it wasn’t for her and those “photo opportunities” we wouldn’t know a thing about why is that part of the country the way it is now. At least she knows what the eff is she talking about unlike her father who seems to be talking only merde all the time in regards to politics and his own daughter, no wonder why she doesn’t even regards him as a father.
Jon’s a fool. He’s a nutter.
Someone needs to tell Jon that the world already see America in a much brighter light now that BUSH is GONE!
They NEVER saw America as a “liberator” Jon, so take your phony-macho politics and shove it up where the sun don’t shine.
We already tried Jon’s kind of politics, and it got us into two wars we will never win and a destroyed economy.
PASS!
@Dominica: You are so right! With the mess he was given to clean up, they (repubs) act like he can fix it overnight. The world is so full of ignorant people; its sad.
@Tatiana:
I agree Tatiana.
Jon’s nuts to invoke the Holocaust for his trivial b.s.
Israel better care about America taking care of herself first. We can’t be the worlds police anymore… we need to start taking care of the USA!
I’m not really a fan of either political side, but it doesn’t take much to see Jonny boy is a nutter. *Cue the crazy music* He really doesn’t seem sound upstairs.
he’s definitely entitled to his opinion, but I agree with those who said that it’s too early in Obama’s term to make a judgment call on his legacy…
I’ve actually met Jon Voight (at a local event) and I can say that he is a very kind and gracious man…he made sure all the fans had autographs and pics…he went out of his way to answer questions and appeared very humble…he even stayed for a couple hours after he was obligated to and hung out with everyone…
Based on the troublesome relationship b/w him and his children, I was expecting an arrogant and self-absorbed man…but that was far from the truth…I found him gracious and down-to-earth…he wasn’t the monster he has been painted to be in the media or by his children…
Wow, Go Jon!!! America has made a terrible mistake.
Bye-Bye American Dream,
KUDOS to Mr. Voight!!!!
@maria: Maria, you say he wasn’t the monster he was ‘painted by his children’, how do YOU know? Where you there in their childhood? Do you SERIOUSLY know what goes on behind closed doors, when he is not, of course, ‘putting on a show’ in public, for fans? If you really think how he is in front of paying fans is how he truly is behind closed doors in real life, you are nothing short of a fool.
@maria:
He’s a struggling aging actor and failed father will a lot of time on his hands, of course he’s going to impress the ‘fans’ by giving them the time of day.
I have to say that even though I support Obama-I am skeptical of anyone no matter how good their intentions are when power is involved because no one is immune to that kind of corruption. I totally disagree with John Voight here because he was criticizing Obama way before he won the Democratic election. He seems like someone who is very bitter about not only politics, but life in general.
OH MY GOD. LOL, NOW I’VE SEEN IT ALL. PEOPLE SAY THAT ANGELINA IS INSANE BUT NOW WE KNOW JON’S THE INSANE ONE. HIM AND SPENCER PRATT ARE ONE IN THE SAME…. JON HASN’T EVEN SEEN HIS OWN GRANDCHILDREN AND HE’S SPEWING FORTH THIS FANATIC KRAP? WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? LORD HAVE MERCY. QUITE THE SPECTACLE THAT INSANE HOLLYWOOD IS. WHERE DO THESE ACTORS THINK THEY GET OFF SHOUTING OUT TO THE CROWD THAT THEY’RE RIGHT ABOUT THEIR BELIEFS. YOU GIVE THEM A STAGE TO PERFORM ON AND THEY START SCREAMING INSANITY. THEIR HEADS ARE SO FILLED WITH FLUID, THEY TRULY BELIEVE THEY ARE EACH THE NEXT JESUS!! I SWEAR, I THINK ALL OF THEM ARE HIGH OR DRUNK ON A NORMAL BASIS.
I feel sorry for the Republicans having this old joke blasting Obama like that. What did he want Obama to do in the time he has been in office. I thought recent news said there are signs the economy is improving. Jon stfu… this is not 24. This is life
lets not forget what our usa went through-how many attacks we have endure-how people lost there life’s-from those terrorist from abroad or home grown-i wish the leaders of our own country could be the power it was before we got weaker- I love our country-but look where its going economics is down people have lost jobs etc. american can do better!
@suz: You told me…and so eloquently too. You should really consider going on a speaking tour.
WAY TO GO JON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA IS RUINING THE WORLD…..”ONLY BEEN IN OFFICE 5 MONTHS” HAHAHAH GIVE ME A BREAK. LOOK AT ALL THE CRAP HE’S DONE IN THAT 5 MONTHS.
@Bbgun:” If it wasn’t for her and those “photo opportunities” we wouldn’t know a thing about why is that part of the country the way it is now.” That’s true if you get your news soley from gossip web sites.
Rush, Newt, Sarah & Voigt? If they represent the Republican party I’ll pass! A bunch of ignorant, paranoid, bigots who can’t accept the fact that the majority of this nation spoke and President Obama was elected by the people. Sore losers desperate now to figure out what happened…not too bright if they still don’t get it.
I used to feel sorry for Voight that Angie would not let him see the grandchildren…..now I wonder exactly why. Good Lord, I wonder if Voight abused Angie and she is protecting her kids? I know that Angie seems like she cares much about humanity and her own children and Brad.
Her father is a NUT CASE, Poor Angie!!!!
Shut up, Jon Voight, respect our President.
Jon’s a psycho and so is anybody else who thinks they can judge an entire presidency after only 4 months. LOL!
Get over yourselves.
His statements are ludicrous! What has 8 years of Republican warmongering and looting the Treasury done to this country and to our standing in the world? And he blasts Obama who is trying to reframe and repair our democracy as well as our place in the family of nations. Obviously, Voight wants the limelight and attention, and the Republicans have no voice except inflammatory lies and namecalling. Obama is the smartest and most capable president we have had in many, many years. He has not sold out to business nor to Israel. He is working to right this country from its distortions of the past 8 years. How many billions of dollars went to the KBR Halliburton Group, and the Carlyle Group parties under Bush/Cheney? They sent soldiers who were ill-equipped to fight in Iraq because they had inappropriate body armor and jeep armor - and during Bush/Cheney’s regime those wounded soldiers had to beg for treatment and support.
No, there is no ascension to prophecy in Obama; that is not who Obama is. He is potentially an extraordinary leader. He wants the US to be respected and to be true to our calling as a nation to be models of justice and freedom and goodness in the world, while holding steadfast to our Constitution. We must support Obama and write in and raise questions when we have them, but support his leadership and his obvious desire to do a good job as president. I am immensely proud of him.
Someone with some sense, thank you.
evidentley your related to him…..listen to all that praise………
one word — *******
Ok let him have his opinion. I am not a fan of Obama but I don’t think he is as bad as Voight is saying. and anyone who thinks he’s a moron for speaking his opinion (which i thought we were allowed to do in this country) is the real idiot
The President’s job is to keep America safe, not to keep Israel safe and the idea that the President is trying to reach moderates around the world to isolate the extremists is brilliant. We had someone with Voight’s worldview in the White House for eight years and how’d that work out for us? Voight is batsh*t crazy and everyone knows it. The only reason he has a problem with Obama is because he’s black, but keep talking for Republicans and they will stay out of power for a long time.
@Halli: flat out wrong!
his own “pastor” said in his own words that he is the Messiah!
All you people that are attacking john or anyone that does not like obama, please educate yourself! please do the research! THINK for yourself!! stop buying the lies that are put out there by well known leftwing media. the mainstream media is in the tank for obama and EVERYONE knows it except you retards that bury your heads in the sand!
as far as AJ goes, this women cant make up her mind about who`s baby she wants to carry!?! i cant get over how people hold up these hollywood types that dont give a damn about anyone but themselves!
you all have good things to say about AJ because she is a good looking “women” and young. WTF does that have to do with anything?
John is right no matter what you all think! you cant argue with the “TRUTH”! think im wrong? prove it! obama is going to go down in history as a failure. the ONLY reason he got elected is because he is black and the united states wanted so much to “prove” that it is not racist. to hell with the fact that he has no idea what to do or how to do it! and his “cant we all just get along?” policy will fail.
i know that he will hang himself in the end!
IDIOT! This is why his own daughter and son don’t speak with him. He treated their mother and the kids like crap. WHat a jerk.
Gotta hand it to him, the man is not afraid to say what he thinks. I think there is some truth to what Voight is saying, and I also think that Obama is a weak President of the United States, he is too soft and thinks our enemies will smile and hold hands with us and sing kumbaya if we “go gently”. That being said however, he has not been in office long enough to accomplish anything, things take time and we should give him a chance and see what happens. I think Obama will come to realize that his fantasy is just that, a fantasy, and he will toughen up.
Also want to say that Angelina and Jon’s relationship has nothng to do with politics, they were obviously estranged long before Obama was even a known name. Beside, Angie doesn’t strike me as a political person, she seems to care little about any given politician and more about laws and justice. Now Brad on the other hand, Obama lover that he is, I bet he won’t be attempting any more reconciliations between Angie and Jon anymore,lol :-) !!!
Republicans and those with similar viewpoints need to wake up to the fact that America will never regain its No. 1 superpower status. A nation to be admired and feared. Those days are long gone… I repeat, long gone and will NEVER return. Get over it! China is bank rolling/buying US debt for goodness sake. Obama’s democratic approach is enhancing the US reputation…. a rep that was in the gutter. Stop whining!
Pam are you smoking some sh*t. You must be completely ignorant and oblivious to what previous terms have done. Obama hasn’t done sh*t!…yet! His responsibility now is to try and clean up the mess and aid with new f’in problems. I would never want his job; bad economy, two wars, health issues, social issues on top of the SWINE FLU and other “radical” issues the media spews as top priority.
I have never made this man my messiah. I am sure that he will make mistakes, hopefully not like Bush. I just hope that people stop looking at Obama and any other as the savior of people and look to themselves and local leaders as progressive pieces in improving the nation we live in.
Funny the same people who said we have to be patriotic and support America no matter what now refuse to support the President of their beloved country. Hypocrisy at its finest. Thank heaven for Voight he has Angelina to hold up the family name because clearly he has lost his mind.
@Pattycake: of course i dont get my news from gossip websites but now young ppl dont give a **** and dont know what is happening around the world and thx to Jolie those stupid teenagers at least know otherwise so when they check their entertainment website she will always be there. Voight should do the same instead of all that ****** talk.
@me:
Like Oprah? Or Sean Penn? Or (gasp) Alec Baldwin? Behind whom, you liberals rally,as if they too are our saviors?
WTG JON!!! BOOO on Obama. with his 5months, it shows that he is only good in delivering speeches but poor decision maker.
America you got it wrong..AGAIN!
@Bbgun: ALL you obamites keep drinking the kool aid!!!!
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY ANGELINA DONT WANT THIS GUY AS HER FAMILY
it’s going to be along 4 years………..
@OH YEAH: I think we’d rather drink Obama cool aid than war-mongering republican cool aid.
yeah, liked i’d want PELOSI has a mom………….yuk.
There’s this guy at NBC who said BHO is God, so he will definitely bash JV. :lol:
Bush created two wars, destroyed the economy and ruined the reputation of the US around the world and Voight has the nerve to attack Obama?????……..talk about delusional and unhinged, what an idiot!!!
George Bush and the Republicans over 8 years drove this country in the ground. 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch. The holocaust happened with the help of the Bush family. Look it up. Prescott Bush.
How is Israel any different in some of things they do?
Greed and corruption is what killing this country.
The man is entitled to his opinion, and express it too!
@Sal: so called “war-mongering republicans provide you the freedom to spit in the faces of them that protect you! if not for “war mongering” as you namby-pamby chicken sh!t whimps call it, you would be speaking dutch right now!
when if ever have you defended the rights that you sh!t on??
so STFU you pinko commy!!
@OH YEAH: GO “OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tool
12 vitaa @ 06/09/2009 at 12:19 pm
Jon Voight is completely crazy! Stay away from him, Angelina!
He’s as stupid as Bush, [b]I can’t believe we let this kind of person speak publicly[/b]…. what an idiot
Since when does anyone need permission to speak? He was speaking at a fundraiser for the right. You expect him to bash the left.
@OH YEAH: America wasn’t at threat in this war, unlike World War 2, you fkuckwit. This war gives us NO freedom, only MORE RISK OF ATTACK, but youa re too pig ignorant and immoral to understand that.
why are you guys bringing angie’s name on this post,it’s just her dad opinion not her leave her out of this morons.
@you have got to be kidding: Go you have got to be kidding! Spot on!!
He needs to be locked up! I don’t think President Obama is a prophet, just a man who has some common sense unlike the jaw flapping idiot pictured.
He needs to be locked up! I don’t think President Obama is a prophet, just a man who has some common sense unlike the jaw flapping idiot pictured.
@JV: “common sense”? lmao.
@pam: Certianly much more common sense than the alternative.
@Sal: wow, you really are that stupid arent you? we were not at threat before ww2. it was the attack at pearl harbor that brought us in. please study history! and in case you were in canada or france, we were attacked again on september 11th 2001. unprovoked so we are at war with al-quida where ever it is.
what fuktard YOU are!
what an ignorant a**
@hey shmu uc: Strange - I didn’t know UN Ambassadors and Refugee Advocates were Republican. Clearly you’re confused and haven’t been following Angelina, because anyone knows she’s hard-core Democrat.
ANGELINA JOLIE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW MONTHS AGO THAT SHE’S A REGISTERED INDEPENDENT……NEITHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATE!
Obama has been in office five months and people want things done that the ‘former’ administration mishandled? What is wrong with you people who feel Jon is right? Yes, Jon has every right to his opinion, but where was HE when children around the world were dying of hunger and health? Where was HE when a man in power tortured and killed children — AND THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION KNEW OF THESE HORROS? Where was HE then? Where was HE when the horrors of people losing their homes in NO and it took the former administration days to get water and much needed items to them? Where is HE NOW that NO is still suffering?
Yes, Angie doesn’t fall far from the tree and the tree had NO male branches!! Her mother gave her the love and principles she follows today — NOT HER FATHER!!
This man was PAID for his attendance at this event — PAID!!!!
“A new Holocaust” ? “Obama oppression”? “A weak nation” with 150,000 kids at war? Primarily in an occupation caused by Bushie II’s invasion of a country that had done us no harm!!
Thanks Jon! You just showed all that you are more batshit crazy than even I suspected.
I guess JV was highly praised by the Republican gathering. they chose him to MC this event. They really don’t understand how lunatics like Voight, Limbaugh, Gingrich, Palin and their ilk are marginalizing the Republican Party.
It is interesting after 8 years of bombast from Washington that one little speech in Egypt seems to be moving the public opinion in the Muslim world, doesn’t it? But Voight wants more saber-rattling and bring-it-on rhetoric. Can you picture Pres. Obama appearing on a ship in a flight suit to say “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? I can’t believe Colin Powell still associates with the GOP. I have lost all respect for him.
The Republicans have squandered our kids, treasure and prestige in the name of profits and greed.

I just have to ask, most repugnant talking points here are just a vision of idiotness. I guess they can’t stand a chance to smart Liberals in ligitimate political blogs like CNN. PATHETIC LOSERS.
THE REPUGNANT PRINCIPLE,
IDIOTNESS
SELFISHNESS
DUMBASSHOLENESS
omg. i saw his pic yesterday and was like this f*cker is alive…so now i know why. he must not know anything about julius cesar. lol about the israel reference especially since it seems tinged with bias…another holocaust voight? really? are you that dumb. nice to see the pro-israel lobby is getting their work done. and it’s funny how having obama at the helm has made america less safe…people making this statement, where are the facts…what are they basing their opinions on? cause it really sounds like childish reasoning that even i could pull out of my a$$. what. because the us isn’g rah rah rah’ng on invading countries and starting more wars. dumbness. it’s a disease. don’t be a subscriber.
@OH YEAH: Study history, you waste of a good fkuck. The US have been bombing the middle east for years for ‘pre-emptive attacks’. Iraq didn’t attack us. You truly are an ignorant redneck fool who has no idea of what is really going on. You should be really ashamed of yourself!
This is a waste of time? lot more going on to listen to this idiot man. Who would think Obama is some kind of prophet? nor magician? He need to shut up and try to fix his own problem. like ….try to fix his relationship with his daughter…I swear! some people can be really f___ed up
@me:
LMAO!!!!!!!!! Wow….that made my day…
Nonsense. Jon Voight is a fearmonger and a hate peddler. He is ignorant and i cannot stand him. That phoney racist prick cannot even pronounce the NAME of his own granddaughter. I am glad Angie has kept him away from the kids. He is an opportunist. That rat never said a thing politically for all these years. F*** him!
I totally agree. Obama isn’t nearly as powerful-or smart-as he thinks he is. Judgement day isn’t gonna be too pretty for him if he keeps his ignorance up.
Sal - You’re funny! I like you! spot on. Too many idiot people - no common sense at all.
Yeah like I am going to base my views on what an ACTOR thinks and says. And not a very good one at that!!
Schmuck!!!
@Cathey: please don’t call the “prez” names……..
…jon’s a fcuking joke. minus movies look at his life. he’s a tard. now you know why his kids are so screwed up - and they hate him. angelina get’s the crazies from his nutso ass, and her brother… do i even have to say? LOL.. if you hate obama, deal with it - for 4 years! hahahahahahaha..
Well Said Obama hasen’t done anything to help the U.S.A
Well Said Obama hasen’t done anything to help the U.S.A
He is a loser
He is looking for job in hollywood tha’s why he is kissing the jews asses
I would love to take my daughter and hubby out tonight for dinner and a movie………..anyone have $75000 i can borrow and maybe a plane????????????
@pen: SAL stands for stupid ass liberal. lucky for you libs stupidity is legal!

*******
That;s true. China owns America’s debt.
I guess it’s hard for many people of JV’s generation to accept the fact that the US is no longer alone at the top.
Former pres. Clinton said in a speech quite some time ago, at one of the universities, that America has to get used to the fact that there are others coming up. The US is getting company at the top. China, of course and, down the road, India, Russia, Brazil. Indonesia was mentioned in a distant fifth place.
That conciliatory speech in Cairo is not enough!
The only way to enhance the US reputation is when the US bullies Israel into accepting a Palestinian state, and the terms have to be acceptable to the Arabs, led by Saudi Arabia. With Netanyahu in power, that will take time!
Judging by the reactions posted, Mr. Voight apparently was correct: worshiping Obie IS pretty much akin to a cult or a religion! You’d think someone criticized Jesus or Mohammed by the over the top posts! Congrats, Mr. Voight! You struck a nerve. Several.
INTERESTING…
Someone here mentioned that had this been said during the Bush Administraion, he would have been called ‘Ant-American’. True words my friend.
what this man sounds like is a hate monger. he is purposely trying to instill fear. he like most Fear/Hate mongers know that the 2 often go hand and hand. he uses incindiary words and terms to ignite the hatred, fear and ignorance in others. he isn’t worth the air it takes to keep his body functioning.
Yes he is most certainly allowed his opinion and I’m grateful he gets to spew it…the more he spews the more aware people…both here and abroad become of the true face of this GOP.
Also…don’t forget Transformers 2 is coming out. You will be seeing more of him.
He’ll be here in a couple of days for CineVegas isn’t he lucky Vegas is a republican strong hold.
Jon Voight is a has-been who’s daughter outshines him any day of the week. No wonder Angelina doesn’t talk to that old cheat.
Get Lost Obama won Get over it…
@Vanessa: go change the air in your head
I absolutely agree with you Jon! The United States enemies are happy with Barack. Let’s impeach Hussein!!!
oh now obama is ignorant is he. lol. even more so than bush huh? or the typical american huh? and also he’s oh so soft. wowzers. once again these things come from easily anything i can pull from the air. it is not substantiated…because when people make those comments they are making it in comparison to something. so please tell us WHY obama is so soft and WHY he is making your country less safe or weaker and tell us TO WHOM/TO WHICH GOVERNEMENT PRIOR you are comparing him/his current administration with…and then we will know where you are coming from and we will be able to know your bias…not like most people commenting haven’t figured it out already. you know what’s ignorant, people like ahmedinajad et al saying that israel needs to be wiped out from the earth…even arabs think of israel as zionist, so that part is entirely debatable under religion, and israel denying that what they are doing in jerusalem and their occupation of the west bank or gaza is wrong and denying the palestinians what they want, which is a seperation from israeli rule. i guess israel subscribes to keep the enemy you know closest even if they seek to unseat you. that’s ignorant. they don’t seek open dialogue or compramise…and the people are sick of it, just like the rest of us are sick of it. so talk about that voight. address the issues instead of preaching your a$$y comments to those who will swallow the bull hook, line, and sinker.
As if we needed further proof of how dilusional John Voight is & the right wing part of the Repulican party. George Bush jr is what caused the USA to LOSE it’s positiion as worldleader and he made the US hated throughout the world, not just in Arabic countries. The US should be proud of Obama Barack, contrary to George Bush jr he tries to think about the WORLD instead of only his rich oilfriends and family.
Angelina continue to keep your children away from this nutbag.
well lets see,since he took office 7million ppl lost their jobs,we borrowed more money from China than in our history. We have the highest unemployment in 26 yrs. We’ve got more ppl homeless & that have been foreclosed on than ever; & this American Pres. goes over to Egypt to try to make peace W the very ppl who were responsable for 9/11! During his speach he apologized for the war n Iraq & Aghanistan!! Now that’s bound to give our soldiers moral support. He says that we are a nation of Muslims-lier. We were founde on the foundation of Christianity .
jon voight scares me.
that’s the kind of hyperbole that makes people never take you seriously. Any high school debater could take him down.
Could someone just make him shut UP?!
I’m no American but even I can see the good Obama has made in the world already. One of the example i could give is that he has given back America the good image it had before the Bush administration. And when you’re wants to take care of other countries’ problem, it is essential to have a good image.
And for those who thinks that Obama’s supporters did not think about the consequences of his decision, well i would like to say “think twice guys”…..
What Jon Voight ask for is only a rude, overprotectionist president, ready to bite like a pitbull whenever he can…..
Obama is no Messiah or God, he’s just a good president!
ganymede30324 @ 06/09/2009 at 2:10 pm Judging by the reactions posted, Mr. Voight apparently was correct: worshiping Obie IS pretty much akin to a cult or a religion! You’d think someone criticized Jesus or Mohammed by the over the top posts! Congrats, Mr. Voight! You struck a nerve. Several
———————————————————————————————-
no. the over the top comments are coming from voight and people from all sides of the aisle. some more tempered than others, but then again some of us don’t have the pulpit of limbaugh, cheney, and fox news to impart our opinions onto others. the day i admit obama to be my prophet is the day i go to hell, just like the day i admit bush to be my prophet or my god is the day i go to hell. i can’t believe these comments are being made at all. anyone who knows anything about religion knows how sacralidgeous that is. are you freakin kidding me. fn pisses me off. so what. people voted for obama on mass and he has mass popularity because PEOPLE HATE GEORGE BUSH AND AS A BY PRODUCT AMERICA. what about that don’t you understand. that bush hatred spans not only from bush jr but to his father as well. the democrats have not had clean hands and neither have the republicans. if you only say that internationally people only hate america because of bush then that is disingenous…but instead of making the problem better, or trying to improve americas reputation internationally, he helped in it’s deterioration…and maybe obama will continue in the bush path and help that along, but we won’t know yet because it will also take him 8 years before there is an absolute determination (although determinations will be made after his 2nd year)…but we won’t know yet. so yeah give it time. just like when bush was in power he got the green card to go ahead. fair is fair. it’s nice to be critical in hindsight to hold people responsible but that was severly lacking with the bush jr admin…so am i to believe that people have finally waken up to politics and politricks…so much so that they are making judgements about the current admin based on stuff you pull out of your a$$. i ihope not. i mean he’s a racist and all this etc…it’s f’n ridiculous and half the time i can’t believe how these f’rs in the media have jobs. they think they can say whatever they want and not be held accountable. no wonder journalism has gone to the crapper. even people who have been in journalism for more than 40 years are saying crap about the way it’s being churned out. please. don’t assume us all to be stupid, because we have eyes and ears and we see what’s going on and some of us are willing to do the legwork to find out actual factual truths. dumbness is a disease. don’t subscribe to it and don’t be happy living in a coloured goggles generation. question everything and don’t allow yourself to be forcefed bullsh*t.
hey LONDS
HOW the hell is he a FAILED ACTOR??? HE has won multiple major awards..and his works spands several decades…do you homework before you speak IDIOT!
John you are 100% right! its too bad you gave that speech to a crowd that wants to lick the ass of the liberal dems! The GOP is a disgrace! they are the political whores of washington!! more-so than the democrap! both parties are a disgrace to this country! George Bush Jr has no right to call himself a republican! he is a R.I.N.O republican in name only!
4 years from now we are going to see what a big mistake it was to put Nobama into office. when he fails (and he will) i blame all you obamites that chant “yes we can yes we can”
wow can’t believe jon voight thread is beating brad’s on jj,i remeber this site was own by the jolie-pitts man time have change.
Did anyone see his chararater in the last 24 series. He played a nut, now I wonder if he was even acting……….I don’t think so. But after all if you give someone like him a speaking engagement (starving for attention) it is sorta like a bad dream, ya just never know what the hell he will say. Blah blah blah. Boy he and Sarah would be a hell of a duo….
Why cant someone shut this guy’s mouth!!
Why cant someone shut this guy’s mouth!!

Do you HAVE to go to Paris for dinner? Isn’t there a French restaurant where or near where you live>? :lol:
@Orchid: NO. I WANT TO GO PARIS. NOW!!!
Obama didn’t cause the problems that we have now. American business’ lack of supervision and dishonesty caused it. The American consumer who wants everything NOW without saving before buying, and buying more than they can afford. Obama didn’t cause that mentality Andl until the American people again begin to live within their own personal means, it will continue until there is nothing left of this nation that was founded on sacrafice and hard work. Your parents and grandparents probably didn’t borrow more than they made in a year. They knew they had to live within their own BUDGET. Strange word to lots of folks who don’t know what one is.
fug face maniston
???????answer?
crazy guy
Where was his criticism when Bush was leading us into a war with lies and destroyed this country financially. Bush and the republicans were in power when the banking, financial and car industry collasped. If he had spoken out then , he would have been more credible. Obama now has the job of cleaning up after this mess.
@not policically inclined: how much was the stimulus package again?

to answer with facts exactly what he has done except everything he said he wouldn’t do on the campaign trail.
@OH YEAH: you idiot jon voight is your idea of a real republican is he….the dude only started to turn crazy-right-wing after 9/11 because that was what everybody did and before the iraq war becuase to be opposed meant a fox-news led backlash, before that this traitor was one of the most liberal, democrat supporting children of the 60’s (just watch ‘coming home’- the most anti-war film) but he just didn’t have the courage to stick to his convictions in that period between 2002-2004 and now it’s too late, oh well, chicken **** your side can keep him now.
He was already in France……..duhhhhhhh

WTF? He’s a lunatic! I agree with #10. No wonder why nobody likes the right-wing anymore. You’ve got crazies, like this guy, running their mouth and talking shiz about Obama and his administration. The Dems are trying to clean up the mess that the Repubs made. So STFU, you ignorant SOB!
image is everything in the world no. it’s what people recognize the most predominately over words or speech. it can be created, strengthened, and ultimately broken, but image is kind of fickle. action is a better barometer to make judgements upon.
dntvotehimn @ 06/09/2009 at 2:24 pm well lets see,since he took office 7million ppl lost their jobs,we borrowed more money from China than in our history. We have the highest unemployment in 26 yrs. We’ve got more ppl homeless & that have been foreclosed on than ever; & this American Pres. goes over to Egypt to try to make peace W the very ppl who were responsable for 9/11! During his speach he apologized for the war n Iraq & Aghanistan!! Now that’s bound to give our soldiers moral support. He says that we are a nation of Muslims-lier. We were founde on the foundation of Christianity .
—————————————————————————————–
uh huh. you only have problems borrowing from china now huh? you have problems from borrowing from china when your country needs help…when single handedly one of the worst disasters ever to face a modern civilization to cripple not only the center of the financial industry and therfore impacting economies, but also the finaces and economy of EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD happens. me i was hoping bush was stupid enough to not buy the paulsen plan. i really really really really wanted such a deflation that would not only cripple america but every other country in the world. it’s about time the dollar became worth what it’s really worth in the eyes of those outside the united states with your creation of the biggest sham/shadow economy ever, and encouragement of bad practices, and china would have came out ahead anyways. this whole stimulas may save face for americans so that although things suck now, they aren’t that much worse, but it really is just slowing down the inevitable with other countries stepping up in the foray to the front to truly become internationally recognized powerhouses. so yeah. like rush freakin limbaugh i was hoping obama would fail (bush already failed) and as a byproduct america to fail and osama to win no? treason much. but of course i can only say that kind of sh*t if i am republican and that makes it much more acceptable than if a democrat said that same thing. okay so the highest unemplyment rate in decades huh, lol, and of course it is ALL obama’s fault. it may say so on his record or when the people who document history write this down. you can’t dispute that statistic. it’s a fact. just like it is also a fact that IT IS NOT ALL OBAMA’S FAULT AND THEREFORE DOESN’T ALL FALL AT THE FEET OF ONE PERSON. just like it wasn’t all bush’s fault, just like it wasn’t all clinton’s fault, just like it wasn’t all bush snr’s fault, it will not all be obama’s fault either. those historians who record the truth will record that it is a collection of converging matters that started a long time ago and it is not either the repubs or the dems it is conclusively ALL their faults. some more than others, but really, look it up because it’s there. anyone following the market 10 years ago could have predicted this because bubbles are cyclical, and anyone looking at the market 5 years to even 2 years ago knew this was happening. greed is such a beautiful thing, just like hypocrisy. your conclusion that egypt is responsible for 9/11 is laughable. if you don’t understand why he went to cairo then you basically shouldn’t be arguing about things you don’t know. even i was conflicted by egypt as his choice (my opinion) but i understand why he went there. why shouldn’t he be apologizing. i never knew apologizing inherently made you weak. i hope you read the bible. being able to recognize when mistakes are made and being humble is held in quite high regard in accordance to the bible..so i don’t see the great sin with his apologies. oh the big bad united states is afraid of losing face. america loses face ALL THE TIME…it’s just that because some of those people who you get involved with don’t speak english or may not have the power to express themselves, but that game is all changing. you don’t understand because you don’t see it from the other side. yes the troops need support, and even though canadians do not support the war, they support their troops ultimately, but canadians are not stupid enough to see this war for something it’s not, and nor are they unaware that with their ultimate participation in this they have made themselves a prime target. this war was started in bad judgement and i hope it doesn’t end in bad judgement. talk about blessing us with the 8 years of george bush. dude. if it didn’t happen with bush, it would have happened with clinton (good that it didn’t) or whoever had succeeded clinton. osama was coming for america way before and it was just the time. he’s not a stupid dude and neither are his followers.
@dntvotehimn: wow, you really are watching the faux-news brigade a lil’ to much there aren’t you, cos they got you properly believing the BS they peddle as fact, come on obama’s responsible for all of thos things…..bail-outs, high unemployment, large federal deficit, tanking dollar, wasteful government programmes, high spending military actions, increasing hatred from the islamic/european/latin american/everywhere world, big government-involved in all aspects of the citiens life……these were all the result of a conservative, republican leader…..for god’s sake it was only a few months ago they can’t have brinwashed you to forget something you’ve lived/living through surely……wake the f**k up.
It was Clinton’s economic advisers, Robt. Rubin, Larry Summers et.al who were the architects of the financial debacle. How? They put on the pressure for Congress to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act. That act was put in place to prevent what happened in the 1930s Great Depression.
Larry Summers is back!
Obama appointed him as one of his key economic advisers. Something stinks!
Way to go Jon now you will never get to see the grandkids….Ange is gonna be pissed at you ….AGAIN !
someone please tell me why someone gets so much hate for giving a speech without a teleprompter? i know you are not used to someone looking at the camera AND giving a speech at the same time but please stop the hate! not everyone that gives a speech has to look left and right so much that they get dizzy! has any of you obamites noticed that he NEEDS teleprompters every where he goes? WTF? you people call that “smart’? news anchors read a teleprompter everyday does that mean they make a good president? before obama the only places you saw teleprompters were the white house and the party nomination speech.
now we see them on airforce one LOL
this guy is a CLOWN.!! who cares if he can read well!!
#150. The economic mess goes way back to Reagan. Read up on your history girl!
Thanks to Bush, Cheney and the Republicans the economy crashed last year. Their spending trillions in a war where they fabricated the evidence to initiate, and their disastrous domestic financial policies helped to cause the job losses we are seeing now. I pray that Obama is able to clean up this mess and return this country to greatness.
to Mertz………
You are correct! It isn’t any single individual’s fault. In fact, Clinton, Bush, Obama are handily chosen puppets.
The real question is……WHO pulls their strings?
Cuz in reality Obama has no power…neither did Bush, Clinton. So lets get to the core of the matter.
Jon Voight for President 2012. I never heard a better speech in my life. He said it all. Finally someone who has guts to voice their opinion of this frightening man we now have as president.
Seriously…. The Republicans are absolutely the joke of this nation… Buddy, Bush ruined this country with HIS LIES…. That is why no one is listening to these stupid Reputhugs… 4000 US soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilian Iraqis have died because of their lies… THE BLOOD OF THESE FALLEN SOLIDERS IS ON THEIR HANDS… You wonder why her Angelina doesn’t talk to him.. Bast%rd, clean your own house before you try to judge someone else’s
I have always been a fan of Jon Voight But I disagree with him about Our Current President. TO: Dominica @12:pm,06/09/2009 I agree with you that when the repub were in charge, they considered Americans un Amer or un Patr to critize President Bush. I am glad FREE SPEECH is back also. THANKS to President Obama.
I do not care what party Angelina belong to I know her heart is in the right place, and I have watched her all these yrs and she is still a young person. Angelina and Brad will always have my blessing. Did’nt dad think she had lost her mind because she wanted to get serious about her life after being married 2 times before she was 23yrs. The reason we know she was serious because she got rid of a husband that was double her age and did not teach her anything about life and she realized it, so she chose motherhood and humanta. I think her dad should stop trying to rid her coattail. I thought my mother said he marched with Martin Luther King.
well said, jon voight. well said.
@Vanessa:
I’m so glad you said that… But, you can’t tell the dumb Reputhugs that about THEIR PROPHET… The Great One… That’s why his crazy wife sees him in the dark…
John Volt is an ignoramous . These people are political hacks who can’t speak the truth. As much as I liked Clinton, I was critical of some of the things he did. Thats the difference between a realist and a nutjob/rightwing extremist. Real people are able to speak the truth regardless of who they support. Obama hasn’t been in power for even 200 days and people like Voight , who didn’t criticize the disastrous previous administration , now suddenly found a voice and are speaking out.
@OH YEAH:
Dumb A^s… They ALL have prepared speeches… Tell me one politican or speaker who doesn’t…. Oh I forgot, that entails the idot Republicans to think…
Right now his family is trying to commit him to the nut house
BO has some real smooth talk…..but his actions are the polar opposite of his talk.
Talk is cheap!
@Uptown: YOUR THE JOKE. GET OVER YOURSELF
We were the liberators of the entire world??
Yeah it was not Bush who started war in Iraq for no reason… yeah yeah real liberal…..
We were the liberators of the entire world??
Yeah it was not Bush who started war in Iraq for no reason… yeah yeah real liberal…..
I respect that America is a democratic country who gives the freedom of speech to the people. But I really disagree of what John Voight said about Obama. I love Obama for his concern to people not that he wants to be a president for himself. He is very modest. He looks soft and weak and I am sure when he really means it he could be as strong as a lion. He wants peace in the world. It is too much that I think America likes to interfere other countrie’s personal matters and Obama wants to fix wrong impression of those countries. If he is able to make that impression to all countries in the world that America loves peace, America will be the first country in the world as the initiator and the inspirator to all big countries to do the same. I think it is not a matter of being the strongest but to be able to live peacefully wherever we are. I believe that America has chosen the right man, he looks soft but at least as a person of from another country I do not feel intimidated. I do not like to see Bush that gives the impression that America is very arrogant.
@sri purna widari: let’s all sit around and hold hands by the campfire and sing a sweet song………….
I choose to deal in facts. The financial system, car companies, etc..,crashed when Bush was in power. A truly wise leader would not have taken us to war simply because he wanted to( Using lies and propaganda) thereby spending trillions, borrowing some more from the Chinese like they did.
It will take this country a while to clean up this mess. The republicans should give this country time to recover.
For those of you who support Obama, you will soon find out just how evil this man is. Right now you all are just stupid and ignorant and just don’t understand what Obama is doing to this once great nation. YOU ARE BLIND! WAKE UP STUPID PEOPLE!
lol. to say this all started when clinton was in power is disingenuous…that’s why i included the past 20 years plus in my reasoning, because it started way before larry summers, and it started even before alan greenspan. it started with a mentality that was not even ultimately american but the americans bought into it and became the biggest proponent and promoters of that mentality.
@Halli:
Your such an idiot! Obama thinks he’s the Messiah. Where have you been? Head up your ass?
What a maroon! No one thinks Obama is a prophet except the idiots on FIX NEWS who keep saying that he thinks he’s a prophet. I hope all this idiots keep this up so Obama breezes into his next 4 years.
No wonder his daughter doesn’t have a relationship with him. I wouldn’t want him around my children with the trash that comes out of his mouth!
To Becky:
Obama was not in power when the financial system crashed, Bush and the Republicans were. They don’t deserve our votes. This country was great before Bush and the Republicans got a hold of it, and it will be great again.
# 171- Becky- you are the STUPID people. Closed minded, ignorant, blind, probably uneducated as well…..
and to think that u voted for bimbo Palin…….is simply horrendous.
Palin would have made the U.S. the laughingstock of the World.
@me:
Evidentally you are the one that’s wrong. You don’t even have a clue as to what Obama is all about. Open your blind eyes, stupid!
@emily: when obama is gone it will be…..
@L:
Sad. You have no idea of what damage Obama has already done. You will soon find out when its too late!
@ENEE: hide and watch
@pam: Is that what you were saying when Bush was spending trillions in Iraq?
just like it came to bite america and as a by product all of us in the a$$. that mentality/way of thinking is not entirely correct. it’s a beautiful thing to promote that kind of consumer mentality especially without consequences or structures or rules, etc…but you can’t have your cake and eat it to. and they say keynesians are the one’s holding up the markets. no they aren’t. you want a laissez faire market, then be prepared to pay for the consequences when it hits. you want free trade so you can maximize your profits huh…then be prepared for the consequences when it hits. the world has moved beyond those theories and documents and we know that there are resolutions put in to benefit certain people/countries…so when you are in fact trying to use these things to make as much money as possible and raise the glass house floor mentality you live in, yet at the same time you fail to recognize the shift that is going on in the world economies, and think that you can always try to impede progress, it’ll come to hit you back in the a$$ ten fold. karma is truly beautiful. another bubble is going to pop again, and then what will happen then. meh. wall street sucks. consumerism sucks.
@jen: please don’t tell me your fond of Pelosi?????????? help us al……………..
even in a family there can be people with different polictical . They are outspoken. let them be.
@emily: nope, not at all. i trusted bush unlike obama and all his little rodents
Pam - I called Jon Voight a Schmuck!!
I proudly voted of Obama. Give the man a chance. I correct myself. You are a Schmuck!
@pam: That’s why Obama was elected to come and fix the economy after it crashed under Bush. I see why Obama won over the educated minds because only someone who is rational well read can understand what is going on in the world around us and in the country. dumb people are a lost cause that’s why they sided with Bush.
@Tatiana:
You are the one who is stupid and obviously don’t know what is going on around you. DAMN! Open your eyes before its too late. WE NEED ISRAEL and they need us. Obama threw them under the bus and know there will be a serious payment for that. You better sit down and study your history missy. Jon Voight is Catholic as I am. Many of us know the truth about Obama and what this man is about to do to this country.
‘a new holocoust!’ seriously! did the Israel killed more than 1,000 innocent palestinian people. mens, womens and childrens die! i respect people opinion but the thing is, i don’t think Jon Voight do his homework.
you remember what happen 60 years ago but you don’t remember what happen earlier this year?
i wonder does he remember that he has a children?
robin3 @ 06/09/2009 at 3:06 pm to Mertz………

Cuz in reality Obama has no power…neither did Bush, Clinton. So lets get to the core of the matter.
———————————————————————————————
hey robin. i don’t think we are much in disagreement actually. i think that i can totally understand whatever position you are coming from as long as it not full of vitriol or extreme hyperbole’s. anyways to that question about the who…i don’t know. i don’t subscribe to the consipiracy theories, but i know money talks huge to people and i know that wall street has been involved in the political mix for some time, along with companies, and lobbyists, and even religous institutions. i would think that maybe these men, (since america has not had a female president) are governed by what they know and learn as time passes, but that they also surround themselves with capable people who can impart good judgement in information…but as we all know that realization is not always entirely correct, so i guess the answer to that is i don’t know. but i’m not going to just sit down and not try to find an answer to that question. money talks huge everywhere in the world. i mean look at gretchen peters on the daily show last night talking about how big the drug trade is as a component for this war on terror for the terrorists. ied’s are paid for by the money these guys get for the drugs. ied’s kill all of our allied great soldiers. WHO BUYS THESE DRUGS. WHO BUYS THESE DRUGS FROM THE MEXICAN CARTELS THAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED. so yeah. the finger doesn’t point only one way. people need to look at themselves too. oh and robin about your comment saying words are cheap. i think i said that too when i was talking about image being more powerful than words or speech. ACTION(S) SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS…and that’s just commen sense.
Republicans have no strategy but appeal to people’s fear.” you don’t know what he”ll do” Fear-mongering. Kind of like when they said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq so we have to go in. Same strategy . When you got nothing go with fear.
@robin3:
You stupid moron! Check out Heritage FOundation and Resistnet.com and found out what Obama has done! YOu are so stupid and ignorant.
i totally feel everyone is entitled to voice their opinion and i totally respect persons doing that, but come on… who is Jon Voight to judge Obama.. and this my supporting his beliefs with poor arguments, really poor arguments let alone facts, no instead he uses his opinion. Why held such a controversial political speech if you obviously do not know anything about it..
the fact is the republicans spend 8years doing nothing other than spend money to war and create a very very bad morgin (for housing) system, which eventually initiated the great recess that we’re in now.
so when you look at the facts you can not support this ignorant speech, though everyone is entitled to their right to voice their opinion, this speech was simply denying the facts..
@emily: EDUCATED MINDS????????????????????????? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LORD HELP US ALLLLLLL
@Becky: harsh words becky. take a chill pill
not a fan of Obama. I mean him no harm, just like Jon Voit do not agree with his politics.
I do agree with some people that the last thing we need is a Rock Star president who gets sound bytes. Those of us old enough to remember that is how (lil) George Bush started, and he was a complete failure for Americans. Cant run a this country on sound bites.
To be the independent I am, I will say it-he inherited a grand mess.
My real question is this?
Is it to late to make it Obama as the Prez and Palin as the Veep? lol
I think that is a compromise for all.
Good thing we live in America and say what we feel, and in PUBLIC. Say what he said in Cuba, the sandy countires or China or North Korea and see where that lands you!
Good blog. I like varying opinions. That is how i know we shall never fall to communism
HE WANTS MY BALLS IN AND AROUND HIS MOUTH
@Pam:It is true. The people that voted for Obama generally have a higher I.Q than those that voted republican. They are usually well rounded and have travelled to various places and see the country and world differently. Kind of hard to do when you’ve never been outside your own block. I don’t think Obama will win over the eternally stupid, they are a lost cause, but to sharp minds everywhere rock on!
@emily: what planet do you live on?
Becky @ 06/09/2009 at 3:48 pm @Tatiana:

—————————————————————————————-
a catholic calling someone stupid. now where have i seen that so many times before. i didn’t want to wave the religious flag although i did bring it up previously for someone to go and read the bible because making apologies, being able to realize mistakes is not a sin in the bible. anyways so here it is chica. I’M CATHOLIC TOO. but as a hypocritical catholic, because i know where my religion comes from and i know the hypocrits who recognize/attach themselves to this religion, i realize that i am not better, nor are my judgements any better than others. so yeah you take your catholicism and realise how hypocritical you are with your statement. obama didn’t throw israel under the bus. certainly many israeli’s (including the muslim israeli’s. lol. i wonder how muslim israel’s can live as secondary citizens to jewish people in israel and yet they don’t allow palestinians even the basic decorum of stable living) may think that and so do pro-israel supporters…but the point is is that you don’t realize or recognize the other just like you give isreal a fair shake but you don’t for the other side. AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A CHRISTIAN? huh. what does the bible say about love thy enemies huh and love the other like your borther or sister. i don’t know from what bibles people read from, but it’s entirely hilarious/sadistic to see what religion does to people. religion is not inherently evil, nor is it inherently good. it should be a work in progress (in a perfect world) but must people just cling to their golden books like it’s the end all be all. whatever. you are no different from those you fail to recognize. israel needs to move on. yes they are america’s main allies in the east and have a large military resource…but they way america kowtows to israel or to the jewish lobbying makes america and american’s look like their b*tch, and that’s the truth. i can’t believe that america allows israel to read classified documents from your intelligence agencies, because ya’ll are like a married couple/best friends etc…it’s an entirely amusing situation. maybe if people could let go of past histories we all in the world can collectively move on. let’s admit horrible things have happened in the world and try to right wrongs and move on. WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO DO? so much so that people become pure wussies when confronted with hard issues. gah.
voight should know that before obama came to office, the american economy, image (especially international) and domestic infrastructure were already down from the bush administration, and that’s a BIG mess to clean up for anyone!! i am european and from international point of view, the time of bush administration was not at all that glory for international affairs…so voight should shut up if he does not have sensical things to say..he should just try first to clean up his own family affairs before going political which is beyond his intelligence.
Obamas the next hitler…
right.
someone please tell me why someone gets so much hate for giving a speech without a teleprompter?
GOOD ONE. Come on, you all have to laugh at it, Obama does. He even jokingly said he would teach Joe Biden-the gaffe master to use one. although he didnt call him the gaffe master. Thats mine!
My point is everyone has a right to their opinion and that goes for Voight . However when he refused to say anything about the lies and misleading of Bush/Cheney when they were busy destroying this country, it makes him a hypocrite. I would have had more respect for him if he had spoke up then.
people throw their words around without consequences because they can. it’s sad that this is the current state we are in actually and as someone who sucks at spelling (am working on it), as well as making sense, i weep for the english language and language in general every day because every day the gap between people, the gap between people’s abilities to understand seems to grow. i encourage change, and i encourage learning, intelligence, technology etc…but i don’t encourage all that stuff without responsiblity or being able to recxognize history and improve upon it. i don’t get people. why are we all so freakin stuck.
Jon’s right on the money! If Obama continues on this path, America will fail! If you doubt it, WAIT and SEE, this country will fail within a decade. Obama is the most inexperienced person that has been elected to the Presidency. Change, yeah, right; we haven’t even seen the beginning of the change to come. Hard to believe that the American public were dumb enough to vote in this FOOL!!!
and to clearify my reference to gretchen peters on the daily show…i don’t subscribe to the daily show or all these people’s and their opinions, but i knew who she was prior to the interview and she’s not the only one to talk about the ieds/the weapons these people get from the drug trade. money talks huge everywhere in the world and the fact that people are asleep everywhere on why these things are happening is kinda disconcerning. i think the generals have also written many reports on the collusion with the governments in that area, the militaries, the intellegence and the terrorists in that area. you have to try and understand why these guys are doing what they are. you have to try and understand it because then you can work on capable solutions instead of always doging the problem(s). thing will never change either way (pessimism speaking).
I was open to Obama, but thus far I think he is a disaster. The media and celebrities got him elected. Mitt Romney would have been a the best choice to handle the economy. I also think Obama is passive and wants to be everyone’s best friend. He is naive.
Bet the republicans come out in full force on Senate elections. They are already starting the ground campaign.
Gonna be a war of the politicians. I cant wait. Most are self rightoues egotist with seperate agenda’s.
Either way, I truly like Michele O’s style and love the fact children are in the White house.
@mertz:
maybe if people could let go of past histories we all in the world can collectively move on. let’s admit horrible things have happened in the world and try to right wrongs and move on. WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO DO?

This idiot doesn’t deserve notice … Angelina already figured that out! So, did her mother … what an IDIOT! Go get bent AH!

hindsight is 20/20 no. everyone is saying why not then, why now, and people are saying that same thing in the vice versa, while at the time people were saying why aren’t they reporting about this this and this, and now i guess the media can report all they want. hypocrisy is a beautiful thing. it’s amazing when people (myself included cause i know myself best) don’t realize the hypocrisy in which they engage in. lol. yeah catholics. let’s bring that argument in cause we’re probably the biggest hypocrites of them all.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
This was written by Abraham Lincoln. Obama, who likes to compare himself to President Lincoln, apparently cannot read.
Jon kinda went over the top there. I used to be an Obama supporter until this “bailout” crap. Any business that assumed we will keep investing and buying was stupid–not our fault and they shouldn’t have gotten money for it.
he’s probably feeling lonely because angelina wont return his phone calls. his mind is gone
He is a NUT! Time for the old folks home. I see why she has no relationship with this nut job!
Congressional Budget Office projected that for the first time in three decades, there would be no cost-of-living adjustment —- or COLA —- for Social Security recipients in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
These adjustments are designed to keep elderly Social Security recipients from losing purchasing power as prices rise, so it’s not surprising that the initial reaction was one of concern.
“The absence of a cost-of-living adjustment … will be a shock to older Americans already hit by plummeting home values, investment losses and rising health costs,” The New York Times wrote earlier this month.
Senior groups were predictably up in arms. An AARP spokesman moaned that “most seniors have never been through a year in which there was no Social Security COLA.”
Some liberal bloggers accused the Obama administration of betraying seniors. And there’s already talk of legislation to address this perceived inequity.
YUCK.
WHEN WILL THIS NASTY FAILURE OF A MAN JUST SHRIVEL UP AND DIE.
YOU’VE GOT TO BE A TERRIBLE PERSON WHEN YOUR KIDS HATE YOUR GUTS AND DON’T EVEN WANT YOU AROUND THEIR CHILDREN.
HE PROBABLY ABUSED THEM. LOOK AT THIS NUT!!! ONLY A NUT JOB WOULD SPEW VILE DRIVEL LIKE THIS.
YUCK. GO DIE.
lmaooooo
and you wonder why your own children hate you. Von look at his ugly old mug. lol.
what a freak.
WHEN IS ANGELINA FINALLY GOING TO SEND THIS OLD MENTAL CASE TO THE NURSING HOME? Now, I understand why she hates him!!
SURELY ANYONE WHO COULD TALK SO MUCH VERBAL DIARRHEA SHOULD BE ADMITTED INTO A MENTAL HOSPITAL…OR BETTER YET A NURSING HOME?
I doubt Angelina would give a **** if he died at the nursing home.

———————————————————————————————–
atleast i recognize that i have a self righteous ass. i hope you feel good being all knowing about what you know on the muslim world. why would you presume me to not know anything about the muslim world. you don’t know me personaly, so where is that judgement coming from. where in that comment you quoted did i say something about the so called muslim world. painting muslims an arabs with the same one dimensional brush is disingenous…just like i could also say that based on the history of america all americans are savages or racists. it’s not true. so don’t put words in my mouth. i hope you also enjoy pulling your self righteous judgemental head out of your a$$. bin laden didn’t do what he did without reason. the taliban and alqueda do not act without reason and neither do all the militant factions around the world wether it’s hezzbolah, ira, ltte, hamas, farq, janjawid, al shabab, etc…and painting them all as one dimentional militias is also disingenuous. not all in the muslim or arab world are terrorist. if you think the muslim or arab world only includes the middle east, then that’s laughable. i mean last week the pakistani ambassador to the us was saying he and others take great offense to being included in the axis of evil description or people presuming that because they are recognizably a muslim country, that they are immediately included in the mid east conflict or seen as arabs. pakistan is not an arab country. he said that is what some americans and the western world don’t know or can’t seperate the facts, that the muslim world is not all in the middle east and that pakistan is a south asian muslim country. there are many muslim countries in the world that don’t cause the us problems…so what are they all to be included in the war on the muslim world or the war in the middle east. also…lol. not all muslims are arabs & vice versa. not all people who follow islam are terrorists. there are arab jews, arab christians, arab muslims, etc…and there are many arabic people living around the world…they aren’t all terrorists. israeli’s speak like they are the only people to have ever faced persecution ever…when infact there are many people, many races, many cultures, many ethnic people’s who have faced persecution all around the world. anyways something needs to change, because this bullsh*t has been going on for way too long.
Republicans are nothing but a bunch of kooky old white guys! They’re trying to scare everyone into voting for them. They can’t win any other way. I swear they have called Obama everything under the sun. It’s despicable and they continue to stoop to new lows. When will they get a clue and go f*ck themselves?
@Christina: you must be getting a free ride. pitiful
Jon Voigh is a freak! How could he deem Barack Obama as a false prophet? He is a sicko! Wanting to destroy our president. Who knows what things he believes. He claims everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous. That is wrong. Our nation became weaker because of George W. Bush and all the crap he got away with. Of course Voight didn’t give a damn about his daughter, and she practically turned out as freaky as he is. For shame!
lol @223 & 224. great examples of exactly what we are dealing with. it’s great when you can live in a world of generalizations. don’t worry i do it too sometimes.
Yeah, I agree with him. Let us see if the terrorists will negotiate with Obama. Encourage the terrorists to be guests on Oprah Winfrey show. They might cooperate!
to make everyone happier just subscribe to the whole you’re right i’m wrong mentality. it helps. thanks for the story jared. right after i saw this on the website i heard the clip on my local news radio.
have fun arguing everyone. discourse is fun!
He is just mad because he can’t see his grandkids , get a life and go back to being a street worker cowboy
It makes so much sense why Angelina would distance herself from him. He’s an old cook. Crazy and deranged man.
Jon–
Obama can’t be any worse than that disaster of a prez we had for the last 8 years…Oh, but you probably don’t know about that because you were in an alcohol-induced blackout.
Hey Jon Voight - nice try for someone with some pretty SCARY stuff in his closet.
Isn’t this the same guy who cheated on his wife, caused a miscarriage while bringing women over into her house on socalled parental visits, then left the same kids as a toddlers in order to pursue his interests( anything but raising the kids), a KNOWN CULT FOLLOWER, dead beat though he was earning $$$ after winning that oscar, left the stay at home mother to raise the kids WITHOUT PALIMONY and in DEBT til after her death…..had the gall to bash the mother of his kids AFTER HER DEATH, once a upon a time, couldn’t for the love his life remember Zahara’s name( says Shakira but of course he remembered to cry crocodile tears for all those who would listen about his desire to see those little angels(Shiloh, Vivian and Knox)…. suddenly is telling me that OBAMA is BAD for the contry.
I say, at least Obama AINT got the following on his resume:
1.) Revolving door dad
2.) dead beat
3.) emotional abuser
4.) absent father
Listen folks, it is one thing to have an opinion but another to HAVE such as SCARY closet and feel the need to judge others.
Republicans believe in do- as- I -say and not- as- I -do philosophy. Kind of like Palin’s daughter now preaching abstinence after being a regular fuucck-buddy with her boyfriend. I like abstinence too but I would rather hear from someone who practices what they preach. Lest I forget , remember toe-tapping senator Craig (Republican) involved in that mens bathroom saga?
@owen:
thank you. people need to stop giving obama a pass cause he is black.
Becky- you are catholic? Ugh…that explains it. Why does belonging to a religious group or cult means anything? lol
Closed minded….too. very
probably a red neck republican as well…as other things I can’t type here…and you know it!
YOU need to wake up and smell the real world. (before George Bush almost ruined it). Obama has a real mess to clean up and it’s gonna take some time of course.
Go back to your cave and stay there!
Everybody has the right to voice out their opinion whether it is good or bad..this is a free country…
Obama’s supporters really believe he is the one who is going to save America and possibly the whole world….but the sad truth is that, economy is getting worst!
Sales Tax in California even went high at the time when almost majority of Californians are losing their employment, houses, etc…
to Sharon - no here is saying he has NO RIGHT TO VOICE HIS OPINION….
some of us just think he is NOT WORTH AN OPINION given his background.
Hey, there is a saying that - you can judge a man only if you are squirky clean…but seeing the background of Jon Voight…plez…Jon is the last person to say something about Obama.
To be a dead beat and spousal abuser(mentally and whatsnot) are usually GOOD INDICATORS of a kind of man you are dealing - in the case of Jon Voight, the writing is on the wall and it says - WATCH OUT GUYS, this guy is pretty cuckoo upstairs.
Whenever I begin to feel compassion that his daughter has not permitted him to have a relationship with either she or the children, he interviews with a rag and spews garbage out of his mouth regarding President Obama. He’s just another “loose cannon” extreme conservative Republican, and I now get why Angelina has nothing to do with him. David Carradine was an eccentric Republican, too.
To Sharon: It took George Bush 8 years to destroy the economy so Obama cannot fix it in less than 100 days that he has been there. It will take time. Hopefully its sooner than later.
@emily: know what emily? i’d rather have YOU as president…than obama.
Oh, you think VOIGHT’s the nutter? Well, I hope I’m within ear range when your gasoline’s $10 a gallon, the economy is in ruins, China owns what’s left of our companies, and you’re standing in a soup line, so you can hear me say:
Told ya.
@Pam: No thanks, I just like calling it as I see it.
@TJ: ditto.
@emily: read tj’s entry
TJ: Bush was borrowing money from China and printing money long before Obama came in on the scene. He had to pay for his war , so obviously he was doing this. Remember $5/gallon gasoline? That was under Bush. He did nothing to reign in the cost when he was president in order to further enrich his cronies . That’s part of the reason why republicans lost because the gas cost was bankrupting a lot of people and nothing was done to stop it. It seemed like republicans didn’t care.
Jon Voight is a fcuking idiot…no wonder Angie is estranged from him.
Jon Voight is another Rush Limbaugh in the making.An entertainer who uses their mouth to spew violence and hatred.I am a Catholic and I love my religion, folks,please do not generalize.
No one calls Obama a prophet or Messiah…except right-wings.
I’m glad she disowned him.
this old **** is a looses and a rambling fool everything that comes out of his mouth is crap..as a matter of fact he stumbles over every word of of his mouth like a drunk…shut the f… up old man… that’s why your daughter wont let you near her kids
hmmm i dont completely agree
but yes i agree he’s a false prophet
ppl believe that he will be another fdr or some great president, sorry so far as president he’s been sub-par
im glad he won and all because i didnt want palin and mccain 2 win
but ppl r giving obama 2 many breaks, it’s time 2 start making some tough decisions like u said
i love the fact of how he thinks the whole world can get along with his soft voice like jon says, ive given obama the benefit of the doubt because of the economy, but still his stimulus package has yet 2 be used in full force
i also agree with republicans that alot of whats in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is just wasteful spending
# 236- Sharon
Don’t you have a brain? The economy is the way it is thanks to George Bush! Now, Obama has to try to clean up the big mess left for him.
I would not want to be in his shoes.
Someone should put super glue in Voight’s big stupid jerk mouth
YOU KNOW WHAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR THIS LOOSER ANOTHER LOOSER LIKE HIM, CANDY SPELLING. THEY ARE SAD REPLICAS OF EACH OTHER, OLD, SAD, LONELY LOOSER…THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING JUST TO GET WHATEVER LITTLE TIME IN FRONT OF THE CAMARA….HERE IS HOPING THAT THESE TWO OLD **** MEETS UP, HOOK UP, AND GET ONE LAST HURAH, DIE IN FRONT OF A CAMARA

*******
It’s even better coming from someone who has learned a lesson. She’s been there, made the mistake. She will definitely practice what she preaches now.
The man’s a nut, but I knew that. He wasn’t worried about the Bush gang destroying the economy or the country or the world. Hell, he’s rich, what has he got to worry about if the economy tanks, he’s hiding his money in his bunker. Obama has been in office 6 months and it’s Obama Oppression? lmao. Jon needs to stop drinking.
It will not be credible to me. That’s my opinion.
can see why AJ stays the hella away from this ****
jaye, you are right on the mark. These nutjobs are so crazy that I even heard one of them say that Obama started this 3 years ago when he wasn’t even running.
I voted for Bush the first time but having seeing him invade Iraq and destroyed this country and seeing the crazy people flock to the republican party made me change my mind . I was a center right person, but I cannot be associated with a party of nutjobs. I don’t do crazy.
the people that voted for Obama is crazy people need to realize he’s doing a lot of things wrong it’s happening now!! Open your eyes. I’m so proud someone spoke about Obama of what things he’s doing wrong. Jon is right!! I’m beside you Jon.
experience is important, but being a hypocrite doesn’t therby allow you to have a platform to speak on and to have people listen to you. that is why people laugh at bristol palin. it would have been better if she had practised what she preached prior to her getting pregnant.
obama being soft is a misnomer. your gas will not go up to 10 dollars, and that price has nothing to do with obama. it has everything to opec countries playing the market and setting the terms for the amount of oil output and the reserve oil stocks that they choose to disregard because they want to be stingy. good for them. it also has everything to do with the dollar and how it’s going to loose ground to other currencies because of the inflation due to the many stimulas’ and overspending that has been going on with multiple governments. but then you’re going to blame obama soley for the inflation too. w/e.
credit is going to losen up and start to flow again…unless the mothers at wall street or in the financial sector start messing around again. the recession will be over, and life will still suck, but it really is much better than a 100% collapse.
anyone who calls obama their messiah is not smart. he can’t write 8 years all by himself nor can he due it in the time so far that he has been in the office. puh freakin lease. give it a while before you start the bashing and the hyperbole.
@Jolie Hot Chin not:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That’s what Angie says. Only Jon and Marcheline knows what happened. I also don’t believe in telling your children private things during there marriage to hate the other parent. It happens all the time who’s the bad one. So lets not be so quick to judge Jon about being a father. A scorned woman is the worst..
Jon has a right to his own opinion , but I also agree its still a little to soon. I didn’t vote for Obama but I’m willing to give him chance and to soon t give my own opinion also.
Keep it up, Republicans - keep bringing out the loonies and let them speak!! Dems will be in power for the next 4, 8, 12 years for sure!! Luckily for Angelina, he was an absent father and didn’t influence her politically or otherwise!
Hahahahahaha, this dumb***.
The Republican Party is so divided.
ed, I so agree.
What a crazy man he is… the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (Angelina).

Well said. Ali.

No wonder Angelina wants to keep a safe distance from Jon Voight. First he was a father who abandoned his children. Then he was a deadbeat husband and dad who didn’t pay spousal support. Then when he shows up to be with his kids he was - to quote James haven, abusive.
.
Now we can see how he abused his wife and children.
.
Imagine JON Voight turning on his children and criticising them with the same lack of balance as he is now criticising Obama then make it at least twice as bad. Because those were his children and he was speaking to them in private and very likely swearing and using a threatening angry tone of voice. Imagine an Alex Baldwin.
.
No wonder Angelina and James both want to keep their distance from him. They should. And very wisely, as they let him back into their lives, its only from a distance. And no way should he ever baby sit any of the kids on his own. NO WAY.
Angelina has nothing to do with his comments. Unfortunately we can’t choose our parents especially when they are bad ones.

this obama is a radicalist muslim who hates america and will destroy
oh but im sure its okay to criticize bush, im sick of these double standards
this guy is retarded, no wonder angelina wants nothing to do with him. obama is probably the best president we’ve had since Reagan, a good family man, and a good politician. It’s republicans like this idiot and rush limbaugh that make the republicna party look like a bunch of morons. I just feel bad for the moderate republicans like colin powell and john mccain who are actually somewhat intelligent. And any one who believes that obama is a prophet/messiah is a fricken nutjob and a loser.
I don’t agree with everything he stands for but I do agree with John on this. He has balls enough to stand up for what he believes in and you don’t really see that anymore just alot of followers. Freedom of speech is for everyone including him.
Chelsea lately rules! @ 06/09/2009 at 8:57 pm:
well said. They and their ilk are losers.
Where was John’s freedom of speech when Bush was ruining the economy?
thank you, Ali - a voice of reason…
look at the kind of critical thinking “pam” is capable of demonstrating - set aside her poor grammar “evidentley your related…” but it does show ignorance at a basic level, and her argument that you can only be able to discern the qualities of our president if you are related to him. But she is not nearly as flaccid in thinking as the illiterate “can’t forget 9/11″.
If there were only some clear reasoning skills - some example of a valid argument that is based in facts. I don’t know these two people, but in general those kinds of comments, especially Jon’s, reflect xenophobia if you just scratch beneath the service. “false prohpet”?? Jon is starkers.
way to go John

———————————————————————————————-
and there it is again with the throwing of words and debasing the english language.
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE ON BARACK OBAMA BEING A RADICAL MUSLIM. do you know what RADICAL means. so yeah i want your evidence.
and you’re sick of double standards. you’re sick of it after the fact right…well where the hell were you when bush and his administration were in power. i wonder what you were saying then at that time as well. it is okay to criticize. criticism makes the world go around, it’s easy to do, it’s cheap and inconsequential to the critic and when it’s made in the right it can hold people accountable. were you holding your former president accountable when he was in power. i hope you were.
Not only is obama a false prophet but he is an idiot. This thug lies, and plays those who have drunk the kool aid as fools. He can lie stating this will be the most open administration. When? He is arrogant and stupid. He is way over his head and it is America and our children and grandchildren who will pay for this idiot. He is nothing more than a low class low life thug who has set his sights on putting the citizens in this country as dependent upon him as possible. Keep us in line. Well up his arrogant wazoo.
@owen:
The fact that you use the word colored tells me how ignorant you are. No one is asking that you agree with the politics of the current president but personal attacks are unacceptable and don’t solve any problems. Maybe if the republicans came up with other options, people will listen rather then them sounding like bitter losers
hey sharon since this is an equal oppertunity forum i hope you are calling dubya a thug as well as rush limbaugh. then that would be fair.
and that entire part about our children and grandchildren paying in the future…i think that sounds familiar why because i’m been saying that since 91…and probably every single day of the bush administration and some during clinton too. so you know what it’s not only obama. maybe you should take some of your hatred and place it into somthing positive. thanks in advance.
and know that this drinking of the kool aid you accuse others of, i’m sure a lot of republicans were drinking it straight from the trough when bush was in power. lol. bill bennett saying i like the man but not his policies. i hope you were saying that bill bennet when your president from your party was in power at the time he was in power. it’s nice to say that all after the fact. and let’s not forget bay buchannen. it kills her to admit how much damage bush has done to her beloved party. lol. maybe ya’ll do everyone a favour and turn a blind to obama like how you did bush and we will all reconvene for the bashing after his term is over.
this is a glimpse into how fox news and the republicans are feeding lies and garbage to simple, small town folks and greedy corporate execs. i have no idea what this party stands for - they put pretty-faced surface level small town rhetoric folksie Palin as the frontrunner for 2012 and put Bush - who STARTED the bailouts with the banks and no republican said anything then - into leadership. It’s odd and they’re in a world of their own - this is from a FORMER republican who saw the light after this last election. Obama is a great man and this country with idiots like Jon Voight is a pain to lead. My prayers and support are with Obama.
way to go JON! OBAMA, is he a Christian??? and the first thing he does when he gets into office is reverse the international abortion funding bill. how can you be a Christian on one hand and your fine with babies being murdered in the mother’s womb?
I knew you before you were in your mother’s womb. in Jeremiah in the King James Bible.
O.M.G.. I’m not an American and I can’t believe there are still people like him. His speech is so arrogant thinking America is better than anybody else, thinking that this world is belong to them. Remember this. We share the world people. It doesn’t belong to anybody or any country. We don’t appoint you as a liberator of the world, so stop acting like one and what year are you coming from? 1620?? conquering the world? He makes me laugh.
And please..Israel is not a part of America. Is halfway across the globe. Did he go to school??
@lukebandit:
Being a christian is a personal choice and has nothing to do with the abortion bill. there is a reason why there is a separation of church and state. If you lived in a muslim country with a muslim president, i bet you wouldn’t want to be forced to wear a hijab because of the president’s religion. Pls think before you speak…you can’t force your personal belief onto others. Jesus Christ gave a choice to follow him and did not force us to follow him.
To those who are criticizing him about abortion . If someone broke into my house and raped me there is no way I’m going to have that child. Let someone rape you or your child and see if you want to have the child then.
@lukebandit. christians are the worst hypocrites because they don’t see their hypocrisy and don’t allow others to make decisions for themselves. you don’t have to force everyone who is not a christian to be just like you. religion does this to people. i mean look at that guy who killed the abortionist doctor recently and you have all kinds of christians, religious people, non religious people supporting that kind of sh*t. god is the ultimate judge, and you are not the one to judge others. you also don’t claim to be christian and then murder others or involve yourself with fornicating before being in a union, living blissfully with lies, believing in false idols, etc… lol.
Mertz
This is kind of extreme is what you see on right-wing propaganda stations like fox news and radio stations. This fanning the flames of hate caused people like that person to murder that Dr. Whether one agrees with this Dr. or not , he was doing something legal.
i don’t get why people don’t understand the seperation between church and state…probably because the religious people involve themselves in government matters, and governments involve themselves in things people only think of in terms of religion, not failing to realize that religion doesn’t govern everything.
just so you know for all your opinions about obama, george bush is going to be in hell right along with me, cheney, clinton, bush senior, republicans, democrats, people of all parties. well have a big gyamboree dance around the fires of hell.
the only innocents are children…but then they grow up and they learn the ways of the world and we all end up the same even though we think we’re so different from each other.
all you racist losers are going to hell!
WOW…his character in 24…..anyone…..? crazy dude
GO JON GO!!!!
God save America because of Obama. America is in ruins because they worship money,they wrong the right,pursue evil and do away with morals and values. They forget what made America so great back then was really their Christian faith…..GOD
believe me that ignoring God is America’s and the world’s downfall
it is happening now
Hollywood and Gore claims all this global warming and green stuff when NASA discovered the sun is getting hotter and hotter
Remember folks we dont belong in this earth
Armageddon is near
We need more people like Jon Voight in America!!!!!
right, wrong, who cares. stop being ruled so much by emotions and actually see things for what it is. question everything is the first rule of becoming a teenager. think objectively. just like i’ve questioned every politician so far in my life i will question the politicians of the 2000’s. it’s a real good time to be an observer in the world. don’t worry about the bashing cause i am signed up and will be first in line. just like all the haters, i’m taking note too. it doesn’t mean i’m a non supporter or a supporter. i hope barack obama is held accountable…and i don’t think i will care if the light is on him/the scrutiny is on him much more than bush. he’s an adult. he should be able to take the heat. fair is fair game and just like bush deserves everything he gets so will obama. it will happen and only history will be able to tell who was better than the other…which i could really care less about.
lets get back to jon voight and his hyperbole and his crazy talk. i can’t believe he compared obama to julius ceasor. why don’t people think before they talk. if obama is soft spoken does that mean bush was yelling all his speeches???? did i miss something??? or are they talking about the rhetoric…cause like we said before talk is talk. words are pretty and all, and kind of cheap. actions speak louder than words, but by no means are words completely powerless. i mean david frum. talk about a guy who is liberal with his use of the english word. axis of evil eh? disingenous much? even his reasoning behind that term on the surface looks like it works out but his use of the word axis is flawed. but what would i know…aparently i don’t have a brain.
@ Pattycake (#9)
Totally Agree with you..
@ #69
you stold the words out of my mouth, soo right..
not say this is always the case but really, why are some of you supporting this guy -
the guy is a deadbeat and left his ex with 2 kids under 2 so that he can pursue his interest - women and women and women.
Let me tell you something, if Jon could not raise his kids what make yo think he can run this country let alone do a FAB job better than Obama.
We are talking about a guy who chickened out on parenthood. LOL.
And this the guy that you republicans supports are coming out to support on this thread.
A guy who chickened out on his adult resposibilities is YOUR ROLE MODEL of a YES MAN…
give me a break.
I would rather come on here a support a man who had BALLS and was MAN enough to support his kids…divorce or not…rather than one who is a chicken.
Like said - Obama has BALLS. Jon Voight…prunes man. prunes.
@lua:
that doesn’t sound so different from what obama has said. i admire voight for speaking out against him. obama’s policies seem good now, but there will be little resolution in the longrun.
what a nonsense talk coming from the most narrow minded american…..Dumb, stupid and hollow this guys is…..I cant believe myself I used to like him as an actor??!!! But after this now now wonder why AJ is no longer in any contact with him!!!!! he thinks that republican did a better job :)) blood is on their hands……….

To those who are criticizing him about abortion . If someone broke into my house and raped me there is no way I’m going to have that child. Let someone rape you or your child and see if you want to have the child then.
*******
I read about a woman who was raped, got pregnant, hates her rapist, but chose to give birth because, she said, the baby is innocent.
So, it varies with the individual, but I guess many women would agree with you.
o’ya and one more thing republicans……the rich get richer the poor get poorer…..and all of you said after all these chaos in the world……HALELLUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amien!!!!!!! ……….
Sharon, sweetie, not to be rude but you are blatantly a stupid uneducated ****.
You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Thinking isn’t for you, so I’ll advise you to stop ASAP.
Nothing you said made any sense. Everything you said was baseless drivel.
LOLOLOL REPUBLICANS ARE STILL CRYING THEY GOT WHOOOPED IN NOVEMBER.
LMAO!!!! OBAMA’S APPROVAL RATINGS ARE HIGH!!!! EVERYONE LOVES OBAMA BUT RIGHT-WING, BIGOT, LOW-CLASS, LOW-EDUCATED TRASH.
YOU LOST. GET OVER IT!!!! REPUBLICANS ARE DWINDLING. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You go Jon! :)
BTW is Jon a Christian? If so that is cool!!!!
If you are Christian, Shia Labeouf said that he looks up to you as a father figure, he does not act really Christian like now does he, Jon you need to rub off a lot more on Shia, the dude is obvously not listening to you by the way he chills out with Megan fox who does not seem very Christain like either and by the way Shia is so stuck up these days!!!! :(
@gapeach:
Agreed
And I forgot to add, this has nothing to do with Shia or Jon. This has to do with the fact that Obama needs to focus more on this fu**ing sh*tty no good economy and not Hollywood (as he appears to be in these magaiznes and such).
I have been out of work for a fu**cking long time and I am sure that there are others who have been out of work longer than me and would agree that they want the economy to clean up and FAST! Sorry for the long reply but I felt the need to rant about that!
The President is an embarrassment. Hopefully we’ll all be safe for the next 4 years.
The President is an embarrassment. Hopefully we’ll all be safe for the next 4 years.
So true Jon!! SO well said!! Glad that you stand behind your beliefs even though it goes against all of Holly wood! Which are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!!!!
AMEN!!!
Jon Voight needs to shut the hell up and try to reconcile with his daughter, Angelina. He can’t talk about Obama or NOBODY because that ******* (Jon) had cheated on his first wife when Angelina was a pre-teen.
The man walks into a Financial, foreign policy, 2 wars (one contrived) as well as domestic SH#$@T storm 5 months ago does the best he can to keep the country from collapsing into a third world economy. And here it is this nut is comparing him to some kind of messiah inwhich he or no one else claims that he is. Mr Voit should just go and say what he “really” means and stop with the code words, between this kind of sh#@%$t from the (R)epubs and other (R)ight wingers we get nowhere .G.W. left a mess behind and he even knows it thats why he’s been quiet. Cheney’s in a panic because he knows that most of the dirt (crimes) from the last 8 years points dirctly to him and (R)umsfeld. And as far as they go “be carefull what you ask for” we all know the rest of that proverb.
The President has only been in office for 5 months. Where were all the GOP{’ers before Obama came into office? Frankly Obama has been acting very Republican. He continued the GOP invention of bailout from Bush and bailout whom? Freaking BANKS and Auto companies. These are bastions of Republican symbolismn. Banks equal GOP as does big auto companies and Obama bails them out and not the mom and pops. GOP’ers should be happy that he has tried to save these pillars of Republican symbolism… Meanwhile the GOP’ers are acting like bleeding heart liberals and blastin the president for saving big business (sound familiar liberals?) and forgetting about the litle guy.
Please I want the old aristocratic blueblood Republicans. Not these Christian right, undecided,, trailer, uneducated, untraveled hee haw etc…people.
The President has to fix the mess of the Bush era of the past 8 years. That’s not gonna happen overnight and even in 4 years. So Jon Voight and his delusional ilk will have to wait 4 years before anyone will listen to him. The GOP’ers have lost their identity. Blaming the new President after 8 years of GOP leadership does not establish an identity for the Republican party.
For those naysaying Voight however, I must remind you that President Ronald Reagan came from Hollywood (that place that GOP’ers hate so much) and became President.
@itstrueagain: Compared to G.W. Please spare all of us? Right wingers you can bet on them to be “well” themselves.
@Sharon:
you are one dumbass mother f****r if you believe all that crap. obama is the best thing that has happened to this country in a long time. so tkae your republican fascist Hitler-like ass back to 1945 because you are so un american its so unbelievable.
However, if it wasnt for your dumbass republican ex president bush their would be no president obama. So Thank you Republicans for showing all of us intelligent people how wrong you are.
Poor idiots said:

——————————————
Seriously 51% voted for Obama - wouldn’t call that a whooping. Obama has had the lowest ratings per month than any other President. Based on months in office. Republicans are still here and STRONG!!! People are NOT liking what he is doing this country.
Going to countries and apologizing ??? FOR WHAT????? Are F’ing kidding me. We don’t bow down to any country.
Why doesn’t this silly old f*ck shut the hell up! The crypt keeper needs to come get this d@mn corpse.
# 312
you are so wrong!
are u a red neck republican with blinders and ear plugs on?
and closed minded as well.
I think so
@um: If the right-wingers truly checked Reagan(s) record and stop thinking that we’ve forgotten what Reagan truly was all about instead of this revisionist dream world history they live by.Well I’ll sum it up like this. If it wasn’t for Alzheimer’s disease Regan would have gone to prison ( Iran contra) .As well as Neil Bush (savings and loan debacle). They always lean on their own(so called) messiah Ronald Reagan. We can go on for days about that one. It seems to me that the Dem’s are always cleaning up for the right-wing, Clinton had to although they turned on him accused him of murder rape the whole shebang, an investigation for tying his shoe in the morning. we know the real story when of comes down to republicans,not only are they sore losers
ahahhahaaaa sue. wow. america bows down to no one eh…tell me why you guys have been israels b*tch for so long…and what will you do when china decides to own your country, or hold you guys accountable. i hope you are aware the foreigners, the same foreigners americans hate are rolling in rich oil money and buying large american properties. ones they own…ones they can choose to do whatever they want with. they have the money. you guys are broke. what you guys gonna do now when the world around you is changing. your comment is hilarious. like someone said…repulicans have a much better chance if they didn’t allow people like this guy and others to speak on behalf of the party.
of course republicans don’t like what he’s doing and neither do some democrats. what do you want him to do sue? something that is entirely possible for him to do? you want him to let bank of america, citigroup, freddie mac, fannie mae, and so many other institutions/companies fail like how they did lehman brothers. what really do you want barack obama to do…and please have a good suggestion. i want to hear your ideas. because for a long time the republicans looked like incompetent naysayers who tried to deny this recession was happening, then when it hit they looked like the incompetent government without a plan…barely even understanding the plan of henry paulson.
how entirely funny will it be if sarah palin wins for the republicans in 2010 or 2012. wow. i hope by then she’s learned a bit more about the rest of the world outside of alaska and the united states.
funny if she would win because i think there are more capable republicans in the party who deserve a shot.
mochakiss @ 06/10/2009 at 12:47 am Why doesn’t this silly old f*ck shut the hell up! The crypt keeper needs to come get this d@mn corpse.

lol. i don’t know how old buddy is, but he looks like a spiffy old man. and please, i loved the crypt keeper in tales of the crypt keeper (great show, good animation) and i don’t think he’s available for such a job. i think you want the grim reaper or the god of all hypocrites for that job. gah. i’m being morbid. sorry jon voight i hope you live the life you deserve. i also hope maybe instead of being a fanatic you use speach and the english language conciously and always remember to substantiate your opinions. thanks in advance.
Jon, “clap, clap, clap , clap” very well put.
Rock on Emily.
It’s like reasoning with stones, isn’t it?
Some of the idiot comments on this site from Nobama supporters are from such uneducated people, we know this. Why? Because they can’t even construct a grammatically correct sentence. Typical liberal -spouting off about nonsense while having not a clue what they are talking about. Too bad they don’t have the slightest clue about their moronic leader’s bad policies… apparently they can’t read either.
@POOR IDIOTS: Precisely!
Ultimately, this is all so delicious. I couldn’t care less how loud these blowhards bark. They’re just going to have to deal with seeing this man around for a veeery long time. Obama’s going to be our president for the next eight years. That’s right, eight years. Lol! Suck on that you unpatriotic jerks. Imagine…wanting the president to fail. Unbelieveable madness.
lol. i didn’t like bush one iota but wanting him to fail, and america to fail. wowzers. w/e. you obviously can’t say that if you’re a democrat but being a republican apprently gives you the free light for all things. no wonder they live so much better than the rest. i mean and no wonder their souls are so much better than the rest of our souls, unlike deomcrats, republicans are religious and go to church.
Dear John, this is the period of Aquarius, the new leader no longer needs to use their fist to gain world power. you will not and never will understand this new compassionate and inteligent way of communicating. This type of tough approach you want to see Obama to practise is not going to work by looking at how unsuccessfull your relationship with your children! Wake up and travel out of America once a while, you got a lot to learn from your daughter.
1. China owned half our debt before the primary season even started. If you want to gripe about that, you need to gripe at the Republicans who let it happen.
2. The economy collapsed after 8 years of a Republican in the White House. Not to say that the recession was entirely Bush’s fault (the fault lies with everyone), but it surely wasn’t solely Obama’s fault.
3. People complain about Obama’s bailouts, but if he’d allowed our financial system to collapse, and subsequently all other industry to collapse, you’d still be complaining, only you’d be saying he was the president that allowed us to implode. What exactly was the man supposed to do? If you have an idea that would work better, please step forward and voice it. You can’t just ***** and complain. You have to help if you think the decisions being made are wrong. I might have more respect for you then.
4. I have heard no one, except right-wingers say that Obama is a messiah/prophet. If you have issues with him being referred to in this way, again, go gripe at the Republicans that keep bringing it up.
5. Anybody that thinks Obama is going to institute the next holocaust is a nutcase. Nothing else needs to be said.
6. I believe that Obama is a Christain because he says he is. Why shouldn’t I believe him? If he were a Muslim, I wouldn’t care in the least. I just want him to be a decent president. I don’t care what religion a politician subscribes to. As long as I agreed with their platform, I’d vote for them. I see nothing different between that and working with a co-worker that is different than myself. As long as they do the job well, I’m happy. What they do in their personal life is their business.
7. I would certainly listen to Obama more than Voight. Obama is a good man who supports his wife and children with respect, time, and money. Voight is a man who ran out on his kids and his responsibilities. He barely saw his kids and when he did, he was abusive. What kind of man is he? Is he the kind of man you want to follow? I certainly hope not. Obama is more of a man than Voight could ever wish to be.

Hate to break it to the haters but Jon Voigt is hardly a struggling actor. He just finished a run on 24 and was in three released the end of 2008. He is hardly struggling. This is an actor very much still in demand especially at his age. Be honest.
What does anyone really know about Obama? His life has been hidden. There are facts about him that cannot be found because he has them bound. The man has never run a corner store let alone the whole country. I have a bad feeling that this country will rue the day he was elected. JMO.
Amazing that he has hacked $25,000 away from his campaign on those who will pay a tax increase. He campaigned on giving a tax break to those making less than $275,000-these days he only ever says $250,000……….just where did that other $25,000 go and don’t be surprised when it gets lower and lower when he realizes he cannot afford to pay for all of the “Change” he wants to make.
I cannot believe so many blindly voted for him without ever looking at his voting record but I have come to believe this……..The masses are asses.
i have never seen anything that jon voight has done…i even barely know who he is actually. lol. he’s in 24? what stuff has he been in that anyone would recommend me to see?
To Becky: Why is it you think Obama thinks he is the Messiah and why do you think Obama is evil?
Please answer,
tina:
Are you kidding me? We know virtually everything there is to know about Obama. We know what his childhood was like, where he went to school, who raised him and when, how many times he actually saw his father, which state he was born in, when he got married, who supported his campaign for congress, all of the speeches he gave, the content of his wife’s thesis, the church he attend for years, everything the pastor at that church ever said, his voting record while in congress, and much much more. Hell, we even know the dates of everyone of his grandmother’s promotions at her place of employment. What else do you want to know about the man? How many times a day he has a bowel movement? Please. The fear mongering won’t work on me. I know who I voted for. I might not agree with him on everything, but he certainly was the better choice in my opinion. I, like everyone else, am tired of constant war and the government telling me to cower under my kitchen table and be afraid of everyone that is different than myself. I prefer someone who is willing to find common ground with others and build from there. I prefer someone that speaks about hope rather than fear. I prefer someone that is going to listen to everyone, even our enemies, in an effort to find a peaceful solution to our problems. I by no means think that Obama is perfect. Like any human being, he will make mistakes, but I do feel he was the best man for the job. He has at least 4 years to prove my opinion of him right or wrong. I’ll reserve judgment until then. I subscribe to the belief that every president deserves a fair chance to prove themselves. 5 months is not a fair chance. Bush had 8 years, the least we can do is give Obama 4.

Do you really know the content of Michelle Obama’s thesis?
If you do, you must be the only one who does know.
Now why is it that her thesis has suddenly disappeared….no-one can find it or get access to it?
Probably because of its content.
No transparency there huh??
Please tell us…. what actually is the content of Michelle’s thesis is….and not just the title.
where are the records from Obama’s college years? They don’t exist. Did he go to college as Barack Obama or Barry Sotero? How did he travel to pakistan when Americans were not allowed to? Did he have a passport from Indonesia? Where are his friends from college? Haven’t seen a one. Why has his aunt here as an illegal immigrant? Why is she still here? If he went to college as Barry Sotero, when did he become Barack Obama? Is his name legally changes. I can go on and on. Does Barack have a thesis or just Michelle? if he does, where is his? And no, we do not know what state he was born in because he won’t release his long form birth certificate and no one in this country has the balls to make him prove where he was born and how a man born to an English citizen with dual citizenship at birth can be a natural born citizen. They can’t and he isn’t one but no one wants to touch it. I never said he didn’t deserve a chance but I am very wary of a guy who hides parts of his life. No one can access his college records from Occidental College………why is that?

I can hear the sirens and wooo wooo of the Ambulance coming to take him away in a straight jacket on the way to a nice hospital with a nice neatly cut lawn…….. AND A BIG WALL WITH BARBED WIRE.
This man has an obvious essential fatty acid imbalance.
Jon ……. You are the weakest link - Bye Bye! Tara!
Angelina wanted McCain to win. So I guess she does have the same political views as her father to that extent.
America as a liberator??? When this word is mentioned it brings to the back of my mind when Russia liberated the Eastern block for 50 years.
I would like to highlight three main points :
first of all since when do americans think they are israelian citizens :”Who’s going to take the responsibility to keep America, I mean Israel, safe”!!!
Second I do not think (and believe me all the world would agree) that piece between palestine and Israel shouts holocaust !!
Third Im pretty sure now that Angelina is brains more than beauty
Well, I agree with Jon. It’s his point of view anyway and he is entitled to speak whatever he wants to but let’s be fair enough to give Obama the chance to prove himself.
He is spewing ignorant and scary rhetoric to inflame the religious right which the republican party needs as voters. As it is these voters who got Bush in the second time. Think ahead 100 years and how do you think Bush will be remembered?
@maria:
It is called acting and he does it when he is in public. I imagine Stephen Baldwin could charm you too.;)
You guys need to get a life
Shut up and get along?
Or face the facts of burning in hell yeah.
The truth sometimes hurts. It’s about time someone had the guts to speak up.

Not true !
-
Angelina never said who she will vote to and add that she will listen to each candidate. She is social conscious and independant.

Brad is a democrat though.
opinions should only come from those who have the ability to keep their families locked together
#345 Elle
And its about time some people shut up.
So Shut up!
One day when Obama isnt President anymore you will regret all the hatred towards him. He hasnt been president for long at all give him a chance!
all you people against Obama and complete idiots and dont know what you have.
Yea truth hurts ****’eds
OBAMA
OBAMA
OBAMA
OBAMA
OBAMA
♥ love him
such an idiot, clearly he’s not ready to admit that his ignorant friend bush is the reaason why american is the way it is today and that obama is trying to fix that!! hmmm…i wonder y he wont admit it…possibly coz obama is black?!?! such a fool! the wrinkly fool should get up there n do obama’s job if he thinks he’s good enough!!
It’s people like voight that now have the USA in the horrible shape it’s in today. Thank goodness an American President has taken the approach of trying to negotiate, instead of just running in cannons blazing and killing off half of some countries’ population; at the cost of young people who are giving their lives over lies and miss-information, I might add.
I though that Obama was elected President. Wasn’t aware that he had been elected “the messiah” As far as Voight is concerned, it must be something in the water he’s drinking.
JV makes sense to me. Obama has been in office long enough to start seeing some good instead of the overzealous spending we are hearing about or is he broke yet?
I will give him this lol he sure knows how to talk and talk and talk..
finally someone in hollywood gets it right
This week’s people magazine has Brad and Angie on the cover to set the facts stright. Jon Voight is a nut job. he should have paid his child suppport.
http://pittjolie.blogspot.com/2009/06/people-magazine-real-story.html
Is he crazy? All he cares about what the world will thinks about America! America doesn’t have to be the leader of the world, i mean Bush have done a messed up job and Obama is trying to reconcile and picking up the pieces and fix them together and now this? Wow, i think i can see this man have a future in a padded cell soon.
@ranfran:
They say they care about our soldiers in Iraq but isn’t it easy for them to sleep at night knowing their own children aren’t there fighting. If both of Bush’s kids had enlisted he would not have started that war or have made sure they are no where near the battle. I guess it’s ok for other people kids to go.
The Bush/Cheney government had been printing money and borrowing from China for years further weakening our economy. These crazy right-wing nuts are trying to blame Obama who just got there after the republicans flushed this country down the toilet for 8 years. I used to vote on the republican side but it’s like how Jesus ran the pharisees out of the temple saying they have turned his place of worship into a den of thieves. Republicans were using the truly religious to advance their cause in order to enrich their friends ( disregarding the high oil prices and other burdens on the people) I don’t think God is on the side of fake christians ( The extreme ones). The pharisees used God’s name often but they were not really following him.
Voight has the right to free speech, but I say again, where was his voice these last 8 years when Bush/Cheney was borrowing from China and printing money? If he truly loved his country he would have spoken out then. There was no republican out there who had the balls to challenge the government during the last 8 years. If there were such I could have possibly gotten behind that person, but to speak up now smacks of insincerity and self-advancement.
For years I was a registered Republican. People like **** Cheney, Newt Gingrich and now Jon Voight make me glad that I am an Independent!!!!!!!!!!
i hate this guy
and i love angelina
they are so different…
why is he talking about israel
why is he so concerned about that country
and america was never a liberator
it goes to another country, kills a bunch of people and comes back claiming that they won the battle, when all they wanted was to bring chaos to that nation so they can profit from it
I am not suprised that THIS IS JON VOIGHT. Since I started following Angelina, I noticed the -mental abuse/control of the ex-wife which most likely led to a divorce, the kids disowning him, his forgetting the name of Zahara(NOT Maddox or Pax) tells me he is a XENOPHOBIC and mostly a racist…so NO suprise that he got a problem with Obama…and IMO, his problem with OBAMA is not policy base or democrat but RACE BASED.
So, you all now know why Angelina want him far far far far AWAY from her kids…least he pollute them and steal their childhood as he did Jolie and her brother.
Like someone said above, I would rather have a leader who can take care of his family rather than one who runs/ran away from it all.
OBAMA - got balls
VOOIGHT - nothing.

I have always been and independent who voted republican till I saw what was really going on and how the extreme right-wing religious (fake christians) were running this party and how the country was being ruined and no one was calling them out on it. It was back in 2003 that I started seeing some businesses close down. There was a whole strip of area that I remember riding a bus to that area when I was a kid and later driving there as a teenager that dissappeared. It was sad. It looked like a ghost town. That area was a middle to upperclass area with nice shops. It reminded me of the bible passage which said’ those dry bones will live again” Like breathing life into that area for it to thrive again. This was in the midwest.
No country that loses its middle class can sustain itself. This happened under republican rule and they expect me to continue to vote for them? I had never seen it like this before ( In 2003). I asked my mom and she hadn’t seen it either. These nutcases didn’t stand up for those people then, and all of a sudden we are expected to believe them. Republicans should give this country a chance to recover if they truly love it like they claim to .
Yes, another Independent here!!!! This guy is one hair away from needing to be locked-up in a mental institution. No surprise that his daughter won’t have anything to do with him and, therefore, he hasn’t had access to his grandchildren.
Thank you for saying what so many of us are thinking Jon. Obama is rapidly taking this country down the tubes with the likes of the UN and the Islamofascists that want to destory America. When will he realize that they admit that they lie if it furthers their religion, they will never recognize Israel and allow women equal rights. Where is the ACLU now? If Israel treated its women the way the Saudis do, as well as include tortures like beheadings and stonings, worldwide groups would raise h-ll, but as long as Muslims are doing it, all is quiet. Talk about a double standard. Thank you Mr. Voight, you put into words what millions of us believe to be true.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think Jon Voight is full of a load of crap.
finally! well said voight! atleast there are some people in hollywood that make sense!
Cheers to Jon Voight for having the courage to stand up and speak the truth from the midst of the Hollywood radical liberals who think Obama can do no wrong, while day-by-day-,he smiles and waves and takes this country one step closer to economic disaster. Our enemies around the world are surely giving thanks to their respective gods that America is now in the hands of Obama and his democratic
disciples who are so anxious to bow before them, apologizing all the way, leaving us weak and vulnerable. I am afraid.
He sounds like a middle American.
Full of crapola and a jerk.
This type of an American is what makes America look bad.
