If her goal is human rights and aid to children around the world I think she would choose a candidate to highlight these worthy goals. Now some people (public figures and the average Joe) say they're going to vote for someone to be controversial and like the attention they receive by endorsing a candidate and making controversial remarks. But I think Jolie has a better and more sensible head on her shoulders. “When they endorse candidates or make controversial remarks they put at least a portion of their potential income on the line.”

Sheesh Sil. You sure know how to make a mountain out of a molehill! And to answer your question "Please tell me that a democrat making it to the Oval Office is more important than a skin color making it there?", my answer is: I'm still a member of the Green Party (Love Clemente, Hate McKinney). Democrat... Republican... eh... Same thing. Now us Greens, we crazy cool! Thank you Jazz. Sheesh Sil. You sure know how to make a mountain out of a molehill!

Once again we have yet another example of an Obamabot pulling up race and using it to belittle people into voting for Obama, in spite of what's behind the skin color.

Frankly, this reverse racism is getting a little old. Our country is in dire straights and the GOP is hoping we dems will get caught in the race-card whirlpool so that we won't notice them starting to drop cliffhangers about sex scandals and the like.

You have done ALL your homework on Obama, right T_Steel? Tell me your homework didn't consist of putting a brown paint color key up to your TV screen to see if his skin was dark enough to win your endorsement? Reassure me. Tell me you looked into his political career and track record in Chicago, with respect to your fellow minorities trying to run against him? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-07…

Tell me you've done all the homework on Sinclair, not only on if YOU think the story is true, but if you think vast throngs of TV-viewers (the ones the dems need to win) will think it's true when the story is painted out this way by the GOP http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/331…

Please tell me that a democrat making it to the Oval Office is more important than a skin color making it there?
