Angelina Jolie for Obama

After Brad Pitt was seen carrying a notebook with Barack Obama on the cover, Angelina Jolie proudly announced in the latest issue of Vanity Fair German edition that she is voting for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Some snippets of the article:

On voting for Barack Obama:
“Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family but would not be a reason to vote for someone.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)

On why she’s proud of being American: “I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”
