Good for you, And what a wonderful lesson to learn, seems like the more a person educates themself them more they get that they aren’t always ‘right’ and understand that there is always more to understand and learn, things aren’t black and white but shades of gray, to open your eyes that much more and broaden your mind and that is a terrific thing. I guess I was inarticulate in my comment, I don’t think by any stretch that she is ‘dumb’, I just prefer my legislators, POTUS, SCOTUS, etc to be very knowledgable about the Constituion/Bill of Rights etc. I do like her, but I think and this is just my opinion, that the leader of this country should be exceptional not just as a humanitarian or a good person, but very well educated as well, I would love to see a woman POTUS but I would prefer a Sec Clinton or Sec Rice, women with some serious intellectual chops and a strong education in law (Ms Clinton is a lawyer) and/or foreign policy (Ms Rice is an expert in Soviet/US relations) to Ms Jolie (an actress). But we all have our own opinions and I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this.

America finally got a decent and educated president who can speak proper English.

Now you want another person who has nothing but only his/her calling from heaven to run your country?

Great. We the rest of world will be come the regime of evils again in the eyes of the womb raider — oh, I mean, the tomb raider.

Even this position is called President of America, if this lady is in power, seriously, she will try to focus on “correcting” every society on this planet except one country — America. It’s no good for us, certainly no too good for you people in America.

God let her adapt the babies, not the countries. Please.

Hey Taylor B after many years thinking that I was pretty stupid compared to educated folk, I went to college late in life. I thought that a bit of ‘book learning’ would mean that I was as smart as anyone else. What I actually learnt was that there are no ‘answers’…only opinions. And I had plenty of them before I went.

I would definately vote for Angelina – she seems to care about the important things in life. Who knows, anything can happen…

Very true, but at least Pres Bush was a Yale undergrad, and a Harvard MBA, not that he was a shining example as a student or an intellectual at least he did attempt to educate himself. Ms Jolie has all the funds to educate herself, expand her mind and learn, she has chosen not to do so, she may have lots of life experiences and that is wonderful, but unless you are born brilliant like Steven Hawking some of that ‘book learnin’ certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Just my opinion. If I had her funds and free time I would take classes every chance I got. But to be fair, I am a book loving nerd not some beautiful star who can garner attention simply by opening her mouth rather than being educated on the actual subject.

She could be mayor or maybe governor but since she never stays to long in one place I doubt she ever will become one. I think her causes benefit more doing what she is doing now, speaking and donating money. She would get bored with all the bureaucratic bullshit policies.

I mean no disrespect to Ms Jolie I like her she seems like a lovely person, but she is far too undereducated to ever be POTUS. I find it comforting if the leader of my country is very well educated, she is not.

Please no need to insult America. Lots of countries, including in Europe elect people who have a more shady side. years ago, Italy elected a former p*rn star “The Ciccolina” who was promotting herself even on TV show during her campaign by showing her bare breasts. And she was elected. Mussollini’s daughter has been elected so has been Hitler. François Mitterand kept his lover near his office and raise their daughter while the media who knoew the story never released it until he decided 10 years later when he was about to die. Chric is known to have had many mistress so have many other head of states and kings and princes in Europe and elsewhere.

The whole royal british family have been f*cking around for centuries, spreading their genes, having illegitimate children, going out with p*rn stars, caught with their lovers sometimes even n*de, so are the Grimaldi’s and many head of state who are far from clean.

That never stopped people for electing them. Not even the pope is clean and hs been accused many times for his controversial past.

And as for treaties to be sign only an clueless person would suggest that in a democracy, the president or even one parlimanatary has the ability to sign a treaty on his own, to push a legislation on his own. That’s not a banana republic, it’s a damn democracy with different bodies one of which a control one who elicit a law which is put out there to be voted by several poeple. It is voted by the congress or a parliament.
