Who ever thought that actor Jon Voight was a political person. Well, he is and its apparent that he is a Republican. It has been revealed that Voight wrote a personal letter to President Barack Obama in which he slams the President for his decision making and his overall left wing stance.
‘You lied to the Jewish people of the world when you said that you would help defend Israel and then turn your back on them’ said Voight in the letter. The underdogs that you seem to have aligned yourself with look at you as a true martyr. In all actuality, you are nothing but worse than the murderers who want to eliminate Israel.
‘I pray to God that people come to their senses and that you just plain stop. Your policies, Mr. President, are nothing but agendas to help with the betterment of your political party’ Voight added. Voight made other comments towards the President which Voight simply stated that the President needed to step down because he was doing exactly nothing to benefit the country.
Voight signed off his letter by stating that had a hearfelt love and need to help the people of Israel and the United State.
Jon Voight Slams Obama
WOW!!! The way we tear at each other as if it could make a difference. No wonder this country is in such trouble.
Who cares what Jon Voight says? Who is he? He’s just another Republican who’s still sore that O’Bama won the presidency.
Mary,
Spoken like a true Liberal…Someone that knows nothing, has no ideas of there own and can’t see 2 feet in front of their face. I bet you know Angelina Jolie…there’s a true American Hero!
Mary Ellis,
Most of us that are conservative had accepted that Obama is in the White House. Our outrage at his policies have NOTHING to do with race. It has EVERYTHING to do with the insanity he has brought into the office in which he oocupies. Not one person on the liberal side asked him BEFORE he was voted into office WHAT KIND of change he wanted to implement.. so now we have a Constitution that is being walked all over and thrown to the wayside by him and his decisions.. THAT is what we have issues with. I don’t think he is a decent human being, I’m from Chicago and have seen the after effects of his ‘community organizing’ which help on a select few, and THAT happens to be a race issue.
Sue,
Please give an example of this walking all over the Constitution and insanity. As a liberal I have been displease because not enough has been done to correct the mistakes of the previous administration. The Republicans have been very effective at blocking legislation so very little has happened. Your outrage can only be attributed to a Republican jhadist view that the Democrats must be stopped no matter the harm to the country.
You people should ask yourself why do the Republicans block the legislators.
Steve and Sue have been listening to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh way too much. Try formulating your own opinion instead of thinking that Barack is a monster. Rules written hundreds of years ago may not have a place in today’s society. This country isn’t under attack from the inside and Obama isn’t doing a bad job, he’s not doing a completely stellar job either, but I never expected him too because of all the fits people have been throwing about fictional plot lines in his presidency. You guys had G.W. and that worked for some of you, now it’s Barack’s turn to lead. So grow up.
I believe that Jon Voight is a man who cares deeply for our country. That is what makes our country so great is our freedom of speach. I agree with Mr. Voight wholeheartedly. I am sick of both parties agendas and their lack of ability to put our country first. It has gotten so bad that both sides are to blame with this division.
When we keep pushing God in the back of the line our country will just keep falling into more serious peril.
God bless,
Julie
Folks
Obama, Congress, the Supreme Court, the government agencies, Banks, Businesses, Scholars and all the Churches and Religions cannot fix the problems we are facing.
Only common sense and the american people going to the polls in November will make a difference.
Yeah, really that will make a difference, you voting in someone else will make a difference right now. No it won’t there are way too many problems on both sides of the political spectrum for that to happen, as soon as the other side has the power, (by instigating a fake revolution to the unintelligent masses)the next set of problems takes over. You are foolish to think this will fix anything. The two party system will be a vital point in the downfall of progressive action to move this country to where it needs to be. Until then we have two parents fighting over what’s best for their children.
HES PRETTY MUCH RT! THE PRESIDENT SCHOULD’NT PROMISE THE PEOPLE AND THEN NOT FOLLOW THRU COME ON! ALL OF CONGRESS AND EVAN THE PRESIDENT IS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE THEY WORK FOR US NOT TO THEM SELVES! EVERY AMERCIAN HAS THE RT STILL TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
This is exactly why we have so many problems in our country. The division we have here is incredible. As long as President Obama is in office there will continue to be some type of fault in EVERYTHING he does. For example, everyone that has something to say about him trying to help people who have less, is by far the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve never seen a President slammed with this much nonsense in all my 50 years on earth! It’s hard to believe this is all driven by politics. How do people sleep at night knowing there are so many people going without, while the more fortunate continue to reap the benefits of having so much more? The thing is, the reason they have so much more is usually being made off the backs of those with so much less… There are priorities that the President needs to take care of, and it’s a shame that the things he has accomplished for the good of those who go without or who have so much less continue to go unnoticed. Come on people, let’s stop all this nonsense and open the Bible. You probably don’t want to hear that either since that book tells you about loving your neighbor, and helping others….He can’t do it all at one time, but I’m sure if there is something that can be done to help Israel, I’m sure the President has not forgotten. Slamming our political leader, our President, is not helping our selfish American image…
To Pamela and all of the Obama supporters,
Why should the rich people that make it on their own, honestly or without stealing from the tax payers take the risk and hard work to make it, have to give it to people who don’t take the risk and all the hard work it takes to own your own business. Why should the middle class work every day to pay taxes, social security, and medicare have to do without things that are needed in life. The elderly have paid their whole life and still have to pay for their medicare and a supplement insurance, still do without medications and health needs, but if you are young and have a kid or kids that you can’t afford, we give them medicaid and welfare!!! And those people may not work their whole life. I believe in helping people, but not supporting them for life. We need to help the people who have paid into social secutity first and let the people who won’t work starve. The people who keep having kids that can’t or won’t support them, take the children away and take away their ability to have kids for life. The working people should not have to support the USELESS people.
Bravo!!! Tell them how it is Joe. Tell the them how this country is being bled from the inside out because we have people encouraging welfare and programs for those who don’t want to help themselves. I’m not a selfish person, but I do believe in personal responsibility and this administration preaches laziness and irresponsibility.
Of course you’d say that you dolt. There are a group of people that abuse the system, and I do hope a solution is found for such offense. But you should never be so selfish as to turn your back on a fellow American. Not everyone has the same opportunity even though we’re supposed to. People need help and we should secure our countries impoverished and find a way to bring them back up before we insist on helping others.
Another interesting fact about health care, the major component to the bill was to cut the cost by private insurers that overcharge and underpay, you’re too busy worried about helping someone that isn’t yourself to think that maybe making healthcare affordable might help you in return.
Amen sister. God (pick any one you like) bless you; you can’t take it all with you. When you worship money and have no plans to share it, you go nowhere spiritually. A devotion to money and no interest in our fellow man seems to define Americans as a people now. People are angry about helping people who have NOTHING for goodness sakes. If you’ve worked that hard to build a kingdom here on Earth, you’ve worked too hard. That’s not anyone’s fault but your own.
Pamela, where were you when the liberal lamestream media was bashing G.W. Bush, the last 4 years of his presidentcy. Obama has not come anywhere close to being hounded like G.W.. As usual you liberals only see & hear the reality that goes with your ideology! You people are3 like a disease that is eating at the very being of our democratic republic!
The only reason the right wing christian fundementalists want us to help Israel is so that when Armagedon comes the Jewish people can be converted or wiped out by jesus. Israel has to be in the hands of the Jews to allow Jesus to return, so there is no real “love” for the Jewish people. Idiots
I don’t know where you came up with that baloney.
I wouldn’t make comments about things you know nothing about. If christians believe in an omnipotent god, then why would Jesus have to wait for the actions of men to return? Anyways, the president has made many campaign promises that he failed to keep……..then again if people actually read the constitution they would’ve realized that most of his promises were not actually within his power to fulfill.
I am only going to address the issues regarding Obamas performance. Seems people here have NO clue what it takes to lead, or the disparaging comments directed at out current CIC would have been MUCH better aimed out the previous admin. That guy was a step BELOW a trained moneky, and it was “UnAmerican” or “unpatriotic” to speak out his policies that trashed our constitution, and made his excessivley wealthy friends and family more excessively wealthy, while pushing the poor further into poverty…We decry breaks for the poor, and pretend the rich have never “gotten” anything..Well, for that, there is only one word “BAILOUTS”, which if ANYONE cares to honestly recall, were signed into law by none other than that WEALTHY ELITIST!!!
James……..what in the heck are you talking about? What is the color of the sky in your world?
James–go back to your bible–The Jews are God’s chosen people. He gave them the land–yes he scattered the Jews for a period of time, but he brought the remnant back to the promised land just like he said he would. He may have scattered them, but I haven’t found anywhere in the bible where God said he was taking the land back and giving it to the other nations of the world. The bible does tell of what happened to every single nation that came against Israel. Go read up about it. I firmly believe Israel is in the right!
“One thing that is very clear in God’s Word is that Jesus Christ is going to return to this earth and set up his kingdom, ruling out of Jerusalem, Israel.
Two of the most important subjects in regard to Bible prophecy have to do with the reestablishment of Israel as a nation and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem” – newgateministries.com
So it would appear that James’ claim has some basis in fact. Now you all might not be hardcore findamentalist christians, but there sure the hell are a lot of them who believe in this crap.
Oh and Mary if someone shows up on your door step and says they have a 5 thousand year old “holy book” that says your house and property is theirs, are you just going to get up and move?
The bible is a fictional story book. It does NOT determine who’s land is who’s.
shirley finally,someone with a little common sense! when you have most of congress in someone,s back pocket and most everyone else appointed by king george what do you expect.our president isn1t a miracle worker,he is one man with a terrific battle to fight.the assault in the everyday man has been wageing for atleast 3 decadesand the results are almost overwhelming.president has to pick his battles one at a time and needs backup from us all….instant gratification is a thing of the past
I simply consider the scource voight is nothing more than an arogant narrow minded dipshit
Hey Guy, First learn to spell and secondly stop talking about yourself….
Jon Voight is a proud American and I won’t put in words what you are!!
John Voights a drunk that does’nt know his ass from his elbow. Where was his crazy ass at eight years before Obama was elected while w was making all these enemies, opening loopholes in healthcare so that anybody could rob medicare, and sending kids off to die so that he and his elite crew could put gazillions in hidden bank accounts.Oh Yeah!..he was to busy nursing a bottle of scotch.
I don’t agree with Voight, more right wing BS. I liked him in diliverance though…maybe he should been the one to “squeal like a pig”
I can tell that both of you are on the governments dime. For all of us who work our butt off to earn what we have, paying half our checks to support people who will have multiple kids, never have any intent to work, and take freebies from the hard working Americans need to go. Everyone has a choice, if you choose to not contribute to society then you have chosen your own fate. Any liberal supporters who think that the Democratic party is looking out for these people are uneducated and naive. They are elitist, who only care about controlling the masses so that they can remain in power. If all these democrats are so caring, how come the Clinton’s spent over $3 million on a wedding???? Do you know how many single mothers on welfare that money could have supported!!! This whole administration is just about staying in power. The sooner the American people see this, the sooner we can get on the right path to recovery. Here’s a though….shouldn’t it be a law that only people that pay taxes should be allowed to vote???? That is the way it used to be when this country was based on moral virtues and common sense.
Elitist and uneducated? The fact that the Clintons have 3 million to spend on a wedding after paying thier taxes is the point of the Libs. They have more than they need. And before you start ripping on me, I make what Obama considers rich mans money, although i sure am not.
Tony, you are a PIG. At least there is 1 hollywood actor who actualy has a brain! Most think like Sean Penn or Charly Sheen, both are liberal progressive idiots!
I guess he is like all the other republcans. How soon do we forget. Where was he during the past administration. I guess he has a hard time find work, so he has time to attack the president. If you cannot offer and solutions or suggestions and/or work to help get this country back so that everyone can benefit, then you should go back to your hold. Get a life and cut out all the bull shit.
Jon Voit is exactly right, this presidentis so double minded and has double standards. someone needs to say the truth, people in america need to wake up and see what this man and every other president that has been president has done to try to destroy this country we the people of this united states need to reform our government and its policies. we better wake up before its to late and why does everyone bash the jews. what have they done to anyone , except helped the neighboring countries that fight with them. when a war breaks out with Israel, who do these countries send their wounded to. Israel, The jews belong to the lORD. EVERY NATION AND PERSON WHO HAS A PART IN HARMING ISRAEL WILL ANSWER AN ANGRY GOD
Right on Teresa….you are on the mark.
thank you, tom
I have to ask the obvious question,
WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT, ISRAEL OR USA?
Why does the right wing, evangelicals and hollywood put Israel’s needs ahead of America?
Google AIPAC,it’s an American lobby that puts the needs of Israel a foreign government ahead of it’s own.
Why have we sold out to Israel? Why are thier childern valued more then ours? Why do we give them billions of Dollars and in turn have them compromise our natinal security by selling our military secrets to the chinese?
Are we truly American when we seem to care about the need of a foreign country before our own?
I agree with you, American Not Israeli. Has everyone forgotten the atrocities that the Israelis have committed and continue to commit in Palestine? Israel has broken every article of the Geneva convention by attacking unarmed citizens, and putting up blockades so food and medical supplies, many provided by foreign aid, couldn’t get through. Not to mention the Israeli government snubbing its nose at America with its continue expansion of Israeli settlments effectively hurting any peace talks the American government tried to initiate. Many want to view the Israelis as victims so we can turn a blind eye to all the criminal activities they are perpetrating. And as this continues America is looking more and more like a fool for backing Israel and not holding its government accountable for its actions. What hold does Israel have over America and what’s it going to take to break it?
Dear “American”Girl.
Your letter is an astounding piece if misinformation and lies!
People like you just amaze me. I don’t know whether you are an anti-semite or just another non-thinker who mindlessly slurps up the anti-semitic propaganda that has been a part of the Jewish existence. If you’ll bother to look into the history of oppression against the Jewish people, why Israel was reborn and the invasions and constant hostility they’ve had to endure (starting with the very first day of the rebirth of Israel in 1948), you just might realize why that little nation surrounded by a hostile muslim world intent on obliterating them must stand tough.
Look what they got in return for giving back Gaza…the election of a government determined to eliminate the nation of Israel and thousands of rockets being fired at innocent people.

Wake up, girl!
It should be obvious to the American people by now that there hasn’t been a president in office in a long time that truly put the American people first, but instead place their own agendas and their wallets before anything else.
People need to wake up and realize Left wing ,right wing, democrat or republican it doesn’t matter, our government is consumed by their own greed that the people who make up America are the ones being left out.
Obama is no different then the last one he will tell people what they want to hear and people will follow blindly. If it’s not obvious by now he doesn’t have Americans best interest at heart then there is little else that can be said
Jon Voight is right about the president’s policys toward Israel. The president is a true libtard & who does not have this country’s best interests at heart, just his own party’s. You only have to look at ******Care. & you will see how stupid this president is.
To make this simple…. The president and the congress should be focusing more on America, and not the other countries unless it’s dealing with trade….Why is it that WE (Americans) always, ALWAYS have to help other countries… How many times has our military gone to help others in their country? Everytime. When we were bombed (pick one) tell me who came to help us….. *hears crickets chirping* Focus on “your people” to better “your country”.
One more thing… I’m so tired of everyone saying that Obama is black, he is of both races, white and black, so stop calling him “The black president!” This goes for ALL races – to be “politically correct” with racial slurs with what u can and cannot say and then call the president “black” is politically incorrect.
It’s unbelievable as to what ALL of the presidents have promised for America…. The majority votes win, that’s America. Get over it and make it clear when it’s time to vote again for who you want to be our president. It’s our responsibility to make our concerns known. With Obama, we’ve given him a chance, when it’s time to vote again, think twice before you vote!
Jon Voight, trying to make a name for him self, so he can run for public office; every since he “played” the part in 24…he has been making polical statements…But from a guy who couldn’t rise his on kids,and haven’t did a whole lot, maybe he should call Sara Palin, and they could make a joint statement. I guess not to many acting roles coming his way,so he’ll be the next Republican star. Mr. Voight doesn’t like what’s going on now with the present administration, he has a vote; for change..
Obama has come not to advance his party but to destroy our Constitution and our Republic, and he is well on his way to accomplishing it. Obama is simply the judgement of God upon our sinful country.
Did you say all this when Bush took us to War did you say all of this with the lies Bush said about the war he put us in did you say anything when he stole not 1 but 2 elections what were you saying when all of this was going on
Amen, it is all true! Osama Obama is indeed a traitor!
Everything I am hearing is exactly what both party’s want us,the voting American’s to do… turn against one another. Remember…united we stand and divided we fall. Both party’s are bought and paid for by the rich elite and corporate America. All of this bickering is what are leaders want to get re-elected and to push their personal agenda on. Reps do this and Dems do that…whatever…ask yourselve this… have either one really done anything for YOU?
What happened to the office. The president used to listen to the people. Now he is all about that might offend someone. Oh cant say God, or Jesus might offend someone else. Hey idiot last time I checked it was government for the people by the people. This idiot just wants to had everything to the people who hate us and want us dead. And furthermore wants to give everything we have worked so hard for to the illegals. Who is going to stand up for this country?
Wow, someone in Hollywood “gets it”. Kudos to Mr Voight!
“gets it?” stop catering to the jewish people and make them actually work for something. And by work they may have to fight their own battle for once, rather than getting others to do their dirty work.
This nation will begin to recover when we vote the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Boxer and Reid out of office. Remember November.
“Won’t you feel more secure when the government has all of the guns?”
are we losing it in this country..this is exactly what the terrorist want. they want the united states to be divied, to be distracted.if were destroying ourselves this way. it will be easier for them to attack us again.. we have to as a nation put our dislikes aside and have a mutual understanding. were a family..families don’t always get along but were there for each other when it counts.
joe is right..were becoming a country where we give to the ones who do nothing and take from the ones who do work..
It figures that all you liberal leaning lamebrains would take up for a meer “community organizer” with no real leadership experience. Hell, my barber(amoung others I could name)are community organizers and they could do just as lousey a job as BHO does! They even admit as much! He is no leader. He is just a liberal puppet with tight strings around his ass!
Ok guys, get yr house in order. The rest of us need america to stand up and take lead again. We know USA is not perfect but the world needs it to stabilize global economy and hotspots.
If USA is not up to the game then i am afraid china will want to take lead. We all know what that means.
Concerned human.
Looking at all the above comments you can see why the country is so divided.
The leader ship of this country has fallen into the hands of the money spending Dems and a president that has
little or no common sense.
Those who voted him in will see him making our grand & great grand children
trying to pay off his total mindless spending Those people who voted for him had no idea of what he was for, yet blindly backing again. God help us!
I will not even get into what a disaster Obama and his Flunkies are, but echo the sentiment of giving away all that we honestly earn to those who keep taking the handouts. I live in PA and the most recent state budget allocates nearly 60% of its total to Welfare, and social services. I am a small business owner and want to grow my company, but (contrary to what you may hear) banks will not lend money right now. Instead of throwing away trillions to manufature a fictitous jobs number, why didn’t they offer a Government backed SBA business lending program to allow urge Banks to lend money and create REAL permanent jobs and economic growth.
I have never really been into politics before, but Obama has pushed me over the edge. He is the worse president this country has had and YES I DO MEAN THAT. You guys who “love” this president can talk till you are blue in the face and I won’t listen to you anymore. I voted for the man, I believed in him and he is doing nothing to help this country. He had no plan as he stated. We are in worse shape now than ever. He didn’t have the experiance to be President. I screwed up with my vote, I won’t do it again next time. I wish I was with Glenn Beck today.
What a pathetic idiot, Voight trying to be the voice of reason is like asking Palin to tell you which newspaper she reads,its not going to happen. The hypocrites that are running around screaming about the constitution were as quiet as a church mouse when W and Cheney were shredding it. The previous administration was a disaster and it will take decades to repair their mess. Get over it, the right lost the election . Give the Dems the opportunity to fail or succeed with or without your help. Don’t fool yourselfs, the only people running this country is lobbyist and the corporate elite. It has always been that way and it will continue. America loves War and money. The corporate elite and their families will never fight these wars, only profit from them.
Remember!!! This is coming from a person who couldn’t manage to keep his relations with his own family in order. If you truely cared about his country then give something to it instead of taking from it your whole life. Lead from the front and quit complaining from the rear. Mr. Voight….I am sorry your candidate didn’t win the Presidency, and maybe the Obama Administration isn’t fulfilling your agenda, but use your influence to make a difference and then maybe the President of the Free World will actually listen.
Hey, wonderful blog you have here! Keep up the good job
Every great nation throughout history, with the exception of Rome, lasts about 250 years. And they have all destroyed themselves from within. I’m afraid the U.S. is coming to an end to. Our economy is crumbling despite what the bias media portrays and unlike the industrial revolution, people nowadays don’t have the work ethic to drive this nation out of the recession like it did 70 years ago. We are a society who wants alot for nothing……we all stand in line screaming for our “rights…give me my rights”. LISTEN~you don’t have the RIGHT to wealth and prosperity in the country. But you do have the CHOICE to work for it if you want it. Everyone has forgotten that and to top it off we have an administration that encourages it. WAKE UP AMERICA…..your becoming robot’s who will ultimately serve the political parties……SPEAK UP AND ROCK THE VOTE IN NOVEMBER!
