Actor Jon Voight, the 69-year-old father of Angelina Jolie, has penned a biting critique of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way,” he wrote in the Washington Times Monday.

“The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds,” he wrote, comparing Obama’s campaign with the “Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement” in the 1960s.

Voight theorizes that “Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger” who “will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America” if he is elected.

The actor concludes: “If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.”

Jolie has yet to make up her mind about the election.

“I think people assume I’m a Democrat,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at [John McCain] as well as Obama.”

She has also used the editorial page to get her opinion out.

In February, she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post about the “moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families.”

The Obama campaign, meanwhile, reportedly turned down an offer from Jolie’s beau Brad Pitt to appear for the candidate.

Barack Obama visited the ladies of The View and they had him explain how exactly it was that he was related to Brad Pitt. Obama told them, "I guess we're ninth cousins removed or something," and when he tried to play it humble by saying, "I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool," the ladies begged to differ. Barbara Walters informed him that before he came on stage, all The View ladies decided that he was, "very sexy-looking." Well, since it was Barbara, it was "vewy sexy-wooking."

Everyone had a good laugh, except for Whoopi Goldberg, who started nodding her head, "no," as soon as Barbara got ready to dish to Barack just what a hottie she thought he was. Oh Whoopi, you need to stop pretending this is a real news show and just let the other ladies paint your nails and braid you hair, like you know they're dying to do.

Why do I feel like the Hillary Clinton doll would be less cuddly? Here's the new Barack Obama plushy doll. There's probably a lot more political humor to be made here but I'll leave it to the comment board. You can buy the Obamakinz doll here for $16.95. But check it out - Democratic presidential candidate nominee Barack Obama's going to be on The View!

Obama will appear on the March 28 episode, probably to follow up on damage control in relation to his pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright's inflammatory remarks on race.

In a speech addressing the issue on Tuesday, Obama called for us to not "retreat into our respective corners" when it comes to race in this country.

"The fact is," he said in his speech, "that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our Union that we have yet to perfect."

True. This country isn't exactly the melting pot everyone wanted. This isn't good enough for that pinhead Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The View co-host has her head so far up her ass that she can see out of her own mouth.

"To say that he has just now distanced himself, concerns me because I think that they have a long-standing relationship," she said on The View earlier this week.

Hasselback isn't a pinhead because she found fault with Obama's speech. She's a pinhead because she's a pinhead. Water = wet. Fire = hot. Elisabeth Hasselbeck = pinhead. One of her kids is going to be a gay Satanist. Mark my words.

If Hilary Clinton had a video like this, who do you think would participate other than Barbra Striesand?

In the new issue of Us Weekly, presidential candidate Barack Obama invited news director Lara Cohen to join his campaign for a day. He described some of his best Just Like Us moments, and took our Presidential Pop Quiz (where he revealed that his daughters think Britney and Paris are “yuck”).

Some excepts from the Us interview:

How familiar are you with Us Weekly?
My wife reads it.

Do your daughters Sasha and Malia ever ask about Britney Spears?
Actually, yeah. But they’re very sensible. They’re pretty down on Britney and Paris and all of that. They think that’s very “yuck.” They’re way more into Hannah Montana and Beyonce. They got to go backstage and meet Beyonce and they just love her to death.

Your supporters include Oprah Winfrey. Ever been starstruck?
I don’t really get starstruck. Everyone I’ve met has been very nice and friendly, like Kal Penn. During the writers’ strike, he was like a staffer! And Scarlett Johansson has been traveling a lot. George Clooney is a good friend. He and I worked on Darfur issues together. I’m always impressed by people who do their homework… and use their celebrity to advocate for issues. George does that just about as well as anyone I know.

So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV.
I don’t answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in ‘em!
