Jon Voight Calls Obama a "False Prophet"

Jon Voight is a brilliant character actor. More than that, he shares responsiblity for Angelina Jolie, for which we are all eternally grateful. But he's also a committed conservative, a diehard Israel booster, and a guy who's not afraid to let you know it. His most recent role as arch-villian Jonas Hodges (a comically evil version of Erik Prince) on the Fox show 24 is just another acting job, of course, but may not be that far off from reality. The Midnight Cowboy was a featured speaker at Tuesday's Senate House Dinner, a GOP fundraiser, where he held forth before party luminaries like Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich. Needless to say, he's not a fan of our new president.
From the UK's Daily Mail:
He said: 'It was amazing to me how the media and the young generation were taken in by Obama's false haloistic presence... Obama as a candidate portrayed himself as a moderate, but turned out to be wildly radical."
... With an audience that included Vice President candidate Sarah Palin and former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Voight said: 'We were the great power of good for the world and we were the liberators of the entire world. We are becoming a weak nation.
'Obama really thinks he is the soft-spoken Julius Caesar. Republicans need to find their way back to power to free the nation from "this Obama oppression".'
Naming various Democrats, he said they can be blamed for the 'downfall of this country'.

And when it comes to former President Bush, Voight has nothing but warm and fuzzies. Bush was simply a victim of a liberal conspiracy. Says Voight:
"The Democrats fulfilled their mission to paint President Bush as a war-monger and once they were able to reach all the youth in colleges and on the internet with this lie, painting him as 'the evil one', never giving him credit for keeping our country safe, once they had established that is was easy to bring in 'the one' as Oprah Winfrey crowned him."
As for Palin, she was a bit friendler towards of Obama, saying, "He's a very nice man... but pay attention to his policies." For footage of Voight's tirade, click here.

Who was it making all that noise about how Hollywood liberal types should just shut up and keep us entertained?

how after 8 years of GW Bush (who was merely "painted" as a war-monger!?) Obama "can be blamed for the 'downfall of this country'" after a mere 4+ months!

Voight has every right to say whatever he thinks about Obama, just as the Dixie Chicks had (and have) every right to say whatever they think about Dubya, assuming no slander.
I have every right to ignore anything & everything said by any Hollywood or Music City "face", given that my own opinion is vastly more important to me than theirs are.

Yes, you can lessen the stretch mark with the right product, but it will involve a lot of trial and error. However, you will want to stick with it chi flat irons once you find a product or procedure that truly works in reducing marks on your body. Anyway, trying and taking preventive action and chi hair tools care is the best thing you can do now. In so doing, you can ensure you will not gain another stretch mark. Take vitamins that chi hair straightener your body needs regularly and apply lotion and such to your skin in order to keep it soft and healthy.

Yes! Good actors and bad actors, alike, have a right to their opinion and to Dis the President. And, good actors have the right to believe in "Imperialism" dressed up to look like domocracy and freedom at times by those who believe in the justice of preemptive war by those who view themselves as the "good guys."
Really hard for the public to know and understand what has been going on and what is going on but under our system it is President Obama's time to try to solve our great problems while the Republicans try to drag him down and second guess him at every stage of the game in their efforts to win seats in the coming elections.
Strange that this particular actor who plays the part of a Private Security Mogul who becomes part of a conspiracy to undermine the government of the US doesn't recognize the real problems of private armies and private security in Constitutional Republics.
