More Angelina Jolie: Obama will be a one-term president
posted at 5:36 pm on December 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
Or so sources say, although this report does jibe conspicuously with the details of that blogospheric catnip Us Weekly tossed out last week.
Remember that dream I had about debating social security with an Orion girl? This is better:
“[Jolie thinks] President Obama is a great communicator but not interested in issues outside the United States,” says a Hollywood insider close to the Oscar-winning actress. “Angelina has worked very hard to get first-person accounts of what is going on in the world with her briefings from the UN, [while] Brad is a ‘Johnny Come Lately.’”
Jolie even thinks Obama will only last four years in the nation’s highest office, says the insider, because of “a subtle arrogance in his delivery, [and] not living up to his promises.”…
“Angelina is far left in some beliefs, but then she sees many sides from the right [hand point of view],” says the pal. “She believes in hard work and teaching people how to make their lives better. She also believes in lifting people in need up with support through food, money and education so they can succeed.”
Supposedly she’s taking a wait-and-see approach to The One, which is hard to believe if she’s going around calling him a one-termer. Note to Jon Voight: Much work remains to be done. Exit question: Isn’t it a tad hypocritical of us to care even remotely what some actress thinks about politics when we routinely dump on Hollywood types as irrelevant? Or is it all good because it’s Angelina Jolie? Ah well. It’s nice to have at least some representation among the ranks of A-list celebrities. Aside from Sarahcuda, of course.

Her and Palin should have some sort of pillow fight, just cuz they can…
abobo on December 2, 2009 at 5:39 PM
Those great looks and brains too? Can’t be…
cannonball on December 2, 2009 at 5:39 PM
I would really like it if the rumors of her being an Ayn Rand Libertarian were true.
ReneePA on December 2, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Think AP should offer Angie a guest blogging gig here at HA. Have her alternate with Doc Zero.
james23 on December 2, 2009 at 5:40 PM
She’s only a tad liberal.
faraway on December 2, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Of course he’s a one term. He’s been exposed for all we said he would be – and likely worse.
He’s done.
RedNewEnglander on December 2, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
I’m glad you’re FINALLY listening to your dad.
HornetSting on December 2, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Allah calm your metrosexual tad-ish self man! I know DSL’s.
upinak on December 2, 2009 at 5:41 PM
SHOCK: Angelina Jolie is AllahPundit
faraway on December 2, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Not if we only care a tad about the politics of A-list celebrities.
WashJeff on December 2, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Odd, I normally could care less what celebs think, either. I don’t even think she’s that great an actress. But this makes me giggle.
scalleywag on December 2, 2009 at 5:42 PM
I don’t care what Hollywood dorks think.
Look pretty and dance, lady, that’s what made you famous.
Bishop on December 2, 2009 at 5:42 PM
If you actually believe her opinion matters more than anybody else’s … then yes.
thirteen28 on December 2, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Well, I asked to see a pic of Allah’s behind. If it is A.J.’s I would be jealous!
upinak on December 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM
An interesting thing that I read recently is that she’s reconciled with her father, John Voight–who is heavy Republican.
Wonder if he’s rubbing off on her (and not in the Mackenzie Phillips way).
Enoxo on December 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM
I was thinking of a debate, but yeah…..ok, that works too.
Dongemaharu on December 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM
Allah is downright manly here! Fantastical manly.
Seriously, Ms. Jolie is part of the celebrity establishment that cannot be ignored (ulike her dad). Jon Stewart, too. The uniform devotion of ‘service’ to the Hope-Change Blank Screen is fading. Many folks (including those of left-leaning ilk) are forming their second, more ‘nuanced’, opinon. I don’t see this ending well for the President.
chaswv on December 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM
Most conservative heterosexual male response to Jolie’s statements.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on December 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM
I am LIKING Angelina MORE and MORE. Perhaps she will admit to liking Sarah Palin even though she may disagree on some things.
singlemalt_18 on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
i think i jizzed my pants when i read that headline…
moonbatkiller on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
This is most likely social issues. Didn’t she say Brad and her wouldn’t get married until gay marriage was legal everywhere? Yeah, I’d say that’s far left.
Emily M. on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Who cares what hollyweirdos think about government? Why must we post their every thought on the subject?
matthew26 on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
I am detecting a strong whiff of Alpha from Allah in this post.
Go get ‘er Allah. The worst she could do is say No in a very,very,very, sexy way.
portlandon on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
I brought this up yesterday in the Shatner/Limbaugh thread, and yes, for those of us who dismiss people’s opinions because they are actors. I try to avoid it, personally.
MadisonConservative on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
She’s a right-wing wh0re!

Apologetic California on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Great looking women always get a pass…which is why we love our conservative women…and hate the liberal hags.
Probably too much to ask for a debate between Jolie and Sarah, in bikinis, over global warming…or maybe a little energy debate with oil…
right2bright on December 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Call Grow Fins or Simplesimon for a clean up, bat.
HornetSting on December 2, 2009 at 5:45 PM
From her (plumped-up) lips to G-D’s ears….
HBowmanMD on December 2, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Its like hearing Jon Stewart report on climategate. Sure, he probably still believes the sky is falling, but he reported the controversy. That is more than what you would expect so you’re pleasantly surprised.
El_Terrible on December 2, 2009 at 5:45 PM
If it is true, she is simply an exception to the rule, and that makes it mildly interesting. Her opinion is still no more relevant than any other opinion is.
csdeven on December 2, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Palin/Jolie 2012!!!
skree on December 2, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Two things, the knowledge is only interesting because of it’s rarity and if she says much more she will no longer be an “A-list celebrity”.
Cindy Munford on December 2, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Like the latter belief is not a conservative one. Statists want to extract money by the force of government to service these needs. Conservatives want to do it on a voluntary basis.
WashJeff on December 2, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Angie knows a faux cosmopolitan when she sees one.
nyx on December 2, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Kiss off AP. Is that last line a dig at Sarah? You’ll be eating your shoes once your penning a column a day about how former Obama officials make the perp walk under the Palin administratin.
Stars.
ted c on December 2, 2009 at 5:47 PM
I think it is safe to say Tiger would do her……LOL
SDarchitect on December 2, 2009 at 5:47 PM
It’s a tad hypocritical. But on the otherhand, she’s Angelina Jolie.
darii on December 2, 2009 at 5:48 PM
If the claim being made was that Angelina Jolie’s opinion of Obama was somehow more significant than Joe Blow’s opinion of Obama, that would be hypocritical.
I think we’re in the clear though. The reason we seem to like this news (unsourced though it may be) is that it makes us feel as if Hollywood is a little less crazy than we had been led to believe. Who would have thought it would be Angelina Jolie that made Hollywood seem sane?
JadeNYU on December 2, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Good as any time for Jizz in My Pants.
WashJeff on December 2, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Just as irrelevant to the political discorse as Matt Damon, Will Ferrel or any of the other clueless celebs that are so far out of touch with how average people live.
Scrappy on December 2, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Is Tiger a tad metrosexual?
chaswv on December 2, 2009 at 5:49 PM
I still don’t care…
ninjapirate on December 2, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Yeah, but why do we have to tolerate like ten Meggie Mcbigbutt threads to the solitary Angelina Jolie column. Unlike meggie Mcmacncheez, Jolie actually has a talent
ted c on December 2, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Bingo
nyx on December 2, 2009 at 5:50 PM
I really don’t care what Angelina Jolie thinks either way. The only celebrity I ever got excited about in terms of politics was Robert Downey Jr. hinting he wasn’t exactly a liberal. It increased my crush on him ten-fold.
Emily M. on December 2, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Angelina Jolie has hairy palms and a cat…
ninjapirate on December 2, 2009 at 5:51 PM
One term?
Will he last THAT long?

RJGatorEsq. on December 2, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Get a room!
chaswv on December 2, 2009 at 5:51 PM
How are these mutually exclusive, and what conservative doesn’t agree with this to some extent?
John the Libertarian on December 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Perhaps. But then again, why should we care even remotely about what some actress tells us about her late-blooming Lesbian awakening?
Buy Danish on December 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM
:D
Admit it, he’s adorable.
Emily M. on December 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM
awwww crap. Allah is Tiger Woods?
upinak on December 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM
The thing that makes her more relevant is that she’s actually been to third world countries and has seen the hopelessness first hand. She is an ambassador to the UN. It’s not like you’re quoting Pamela Anderson here, Angelina knows the issues. As for her husband, he’s done quite a bit of humanitarian work in New Orleans, so it’s not like they’re your typical run of the mill celebs.

So The One has lost the independents, Rinos and now the hot babe vote.
Clinton always held the hot babe vote.

abobo on December 2, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Who is “Tad”, and why is there a whole division of metrosexuality devoted to him?
Intrepid on December 2, 2009 at 5:54 PM
She’s probably libertarian on most social issues and conservative when it comes to fiscal and military items.
That’s how many of us are. We don’t care what people do in their bedrooms but if you try to pass a LAW saying that we all support it, we balk at that.
I agree that unless some dumbass splits the anti-Obama vote he’ll be out in one term.
NTWR on December 2, 2009 at 5:54 PM
I really can’t imagine Jolie angsting over being a beta male.
malclave on December 2, 2009 at 5:56 PM
can we now retire “MILF” and label Angelina as “JIMPy”?
JIMP worthy?
JIMPtitious
JIMPalicious
Ideas…
ted c on December 2, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Uhh, everyone believes in that.
Riposte on December 2, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Ever notice how the libs always point out looks/delivery, and almost as an afterthought, SUBSTANCE. Obama is a flat out liar. He is shameless, but no one in the media/hollywood utters a peep about his daily whoppers.
marklmail on December 2, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Can we develop a JIMP scale (0-10)
0=Hillary
10=Angelina
ted c on December 2, 2009 at 5:57 PM
I don’t dump on them as irrelevant. I dump on them as ignorant. This one, though, sounds like she’s been paying attention.
Jim Treacher on December 2, 2009 at 5:57 PM
This may be Tad?
Can you tell I had kids that passed through their toddler years recently?
WashJeff on December 2, 2009 at 5:58 PM
What’s her thoughts on Climategate…?
Seven Percent Solution on December 2, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Subtle arrogance? Only a Hollywood star would think Obama’s arrogance is subtle. ;)
yogi41 on December 2, 2009 at 5:58 PM
I wonder what that patriot Sean Penn thinks about the 0nes decision last night….
anything from the Left
*crickets* *crickets*

New will smith song.
getting JIMPy wid it
ted c on December 2, 2009 at 5:59 PM
Why, that sounds almost… Christian!
phelps on December 2, 2009 at 6:00 PM
I finally have a reason to like Angelina!
sondiehl on December 2, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Jolie thinks Obama isn’t interested in issues outside the U.S.
Oh, I don’t know. Sometimes I think he’s interested in issues ONLY outside the U.S., like which countries find him adorable, which countries have relatives of his he shuns, which countries have awarded him undeserved medals, etc.
I get the feeling tomorrow’s job summit will begin with Barry saying, “So, how am I doing my job? I’m awesome, aren’t I?”
NebCon on December 2, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Oh, oh…No more of that little naked guy named Oscar for you Angie.
Falz on December 2, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Here’s to hoping AP has found his new obsession. I can’t bear any more Meghan McCain threads. Please AP…think Jolie.
CarolynM on December 2, 2009 at 6:03 PM
He’s mainly interested in “outside” the U.S., were it not for his pesky and rabid base.
“A subtle arrogance”? No way. This guy is the Arrogant in Chief, forever, past, current and future.
Schadenfreude on December 2, 2009 at 6:03 PM
So I guess the Us Weekly article was true? There was no news of her coming out refuting it?
LurkerDood on December 2, 2009 at 6:03 PM
If he had, then he would’ve at least eagled. Instead, he double- or triple-bogeyed.
TXUS on December 2, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Well, that Tad certainly does have some fashion gumption, what with his yellow shirt and red overalls, a’la Stewie Griffin.
Intrepid on December 2, 2009 at 6:04 PM
If she listens to her Dad some more as she gets older, she’ll be alright. How many kids has she adopted now?
kingsjester on December 2, 2009 at 6:04 PM
I don’t think it’s necessarily hypocritical.
What we’re doing is enjoying the fact that not all A-list Hollywood types are singing the praises of the One Termer.
powerpro on December 2, 2009 at 6:06 PM
Just had to get in that dig at Palin didn’t ya AP? So she’s JUST a celebrity to you? How about she is a celebrity with conservative principles, executive experience, and POTUS leadership qualities unlike the empty suit Marxist celebrity we have running the country right now.
davek70 on December 2, 2009 at 6:07 PM

It’s all part of the persona…
darii on December 2, 2009 at 6:11 PM
The cool thing is that Jon Voight is such a calm, gracious individual. When I first tumbled to his political orientation, he was uttering these thoroughly kind words about “W”..
..it was enough to bring one to tears.
Needless to say, I am a big fan and patronize every movie he appears in. But, I’m screwed if he ever makes one with Sean Penn.
VoyskaPVO on December 2, 2009 at 6:12 PM
Well, let’s face it. No one, especially Angelina, is expecting him to split the atom anytime soon.
RadClown on December 2, 2009 at 6:13 PM
Exit question: Isn’t it a tad hypocritical of us to care even remotely what some actress thinks about politics

Who is us?

Well, at least AP’s new fixation is a LOT prettier than Meggie BigMac.
wildcat84 on December 2, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Newsflash, Angelina Jolie is not that hot.
This is the same girl who hooked up with goofy hillbilly Billy Bob thornton I would pick Megs over this botox lipped freak any day.
And so would you.
kangjie on December 2, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Maybe it is kinda hypocritical. I think we all agree that people shouldn’t get their political views from their favorite Hollywood A-lister, who basically lives on another planet than everyone else anyway. But the reality is that there are many that do listen to them.
So if we can pry away a few stars that give an alternative viewpoint to these minds of mush, then maybe a few of these simpletons heads will start exploding. Maybe thye’ll be forced to think a little bit. Perhaps a few more of them will decide not to head to the polls. Heck, maybe a few will sign up with the good guys.
It’s definitely not the way it should be, but it is the way it is. At least Angelina steps out of her comfortable life and walks the walk. She’s done some admirable things with her time and fortune.
stldave on December 2, 2009 at 6:22 PM
With his mind?
abobo on December 2, 2009 at 6:22 PM
I’m going to Confession tomorrow for just thinking about coveting Tiger’s and Brad’s wives… at the same time.

locomotivebreath1901 on December 2, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Angelina is a beautiful woman who seems to put her money where her mouth is when it comes to important issues. Whether that makes her more relevant than other hollywood types is certainly debatable, but as Treacher said, at least she’s not either stupid or ignorant. That is itself is worth at least a mention.
I don’t expect to agree with
on
, even you, AP, sorry.
But just a tad. :)
Bob's Kid on December 2, 2009 at 6:29 PM
One thing about Angelina that sets her apart from the ‘Hollywood’ crowd.
She gets down in the trenches with the poorest of the poor and works to make a difference.
You don’t go to places like that without Learning that hard work makes a difference. She must be learning that government handouts are a joke and to empower people, you need more than that.
Good on her.
bridgetown on December 2, 2009 at 6:29 PM
Don’t believe any of it people, it’s really a stretch…
My sister knows a few docs who are working on the Doctors Without Borders doc with Jolie – all European – and unlike all of you – they actually have gotten to know her and have had political discussions with her.
She voted for The One and believes in what he is doing, because the docs – being European believe The One is a socialist, pure and simple.
She does not share their opinions.
Nor is it true she is in deep discussion with her father…
Again – US Magazine started this and Fox picked up on it. I know of the 2 sisters who write some of the crap, their mother is a prominent Real Estate Broker here in Manhattan and they work for US.
They used to originate all of the negative crap about Britney and Lynn Spears, and then Britney really did go off the rails. I’m sure some of this originated from them.
Again US is notorious for stretching the truth, Fox picks up on it for wishful thinking and to drive the discussion.
It’s pure mishigas….
