Angelina Jolie -- who "hates" Barack Obama, sources have told Us -- gives the President and his administration a stern talking-to in an OpEd published Thursday at Newsweek.com.
In "Justice Delayed is Not Justice Denied," the actress and U.N. goodwill ambassador writes passionately about the ongoing situation in the Darfur region of Sudan, where "government supported militia have left 300,000 dead and 2.7 million people internally displaced."

Jolie complains that Obama's administration "has not yet announced any serious moves" to bring corrupt Sudanese leaders to justice.
"I believe President Obama ... will do [his] best to bring peace to the region," Jolie writes, but she seriously questions his policy. "How is the Obama administration's approach to Sudan an evolution of justice?" she writes. "In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to 'improve the lives of the people of Darfur,' I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse."

The 34 year-old actress worries that if the administration doesn't deal more forcefully with Sudanese officials, future leaders could continue to "pocket financial assistance and aid relief" and "act with impunity."

She also recommends a new report "funded by the Jolie-Pitt Foundation" that the administration and the U.N. should use to the prevent future atrocities worldwide. Jolie adds: "On this Human Rights Day--the same day President Obama receives his Nobel Peace Prize--we must also remember those who have been deprived of their rights."

In a recent issue of Us Weekly, a source explained to Us that Jolie and boyfriend Pitt "get in nasty arguments all the time" about President Obama. "She thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors."

And for the fools saying she spends her money on foreign charities, what do you think Jolie-Pitt Foundation and Make a Wish does? Who is spending millions with the rebuilding of New Orleans? Ignorant people.
How many of you have actually read the full article? Instead of getting wound up over tabloid interpretation? Idiots. Angelina is a UN ambassador and a tax paying citizen of American and that gives her the right (as anyone else) to voice her opinion. She didn't say anything George Clooney hasn't said for years about Darfur. But hey, its Ms Jolie. She hates everything and everybody (according to stupid tabloids) and you all buy into that. Go read the full article and educate yourselves. Bet you all can't even point out Darfur on the map! Ignorant people.
Jolie backs her words with her time and money. If it's true that she thinks Obama is smoke and mirrors then she has to be the most intelligent actor in Hollywood.
oh, go away you old hag, no one cares what you do with the humanitarian bullcrap.
Given Obama has not been in office for a full year yet, during the worst financial crisis since the Depression, inheriting two wars and working very hard to get health coverage for ALL Americans - Angelina and everyone who voted for Obama needs to be supporting and taking a stand against the radical racist crazies. Darfur is horrible but knocking the US President given all that is unway in the USA is self righteous.
what she cant think for herself? she had to worship the guy like all of you do? obama sucks he'll only be there for 4 years and then leave then the real change can begin
VERY refreshing to read all of the posts recognizing what a shallow and self-serving princess of the paparazzi miss jolie is. what a fake. a grandiose self-image, a mediocre actress, another "hollywood" big mouth who's got looks and no brains. stay out of politics, fake lady.
She's a UN goodwill ambassador. I think that gives her a little right to criticize Obama, even if everyone else here thinks he's GOD.
People are bound to disagree on politics, but to be fair the US is in a difficult spot right now. We need to build ourselves up first. If possible resolve the Iraq issue before we enter another country. We could have easily resolved Darfur before we invaded Iraq. However, now we are stretched too thin. I understand that Jolie is passionate about Darfur. I would like to help them too, but tearing your own president is not the way to achieve success. I am trying my best to be positive toward Ms. Jolie, but it irks me when someone complains about treatment in one country without first helping out their own.
personally could not care less if Angelina Jolie Hates Obama or what her political views are. The b!tch has no credebility with me.
