Angelina Jolie's Dad: 'Barack Obama Falls Short in Every Way'

Angelina Jolie's actor dad Jon Voight has blasted presidential candidate Barack Obama, saying the Democratic hopeful "falls short in every way."

Writing in Monday's Washington Times in an op-ed titled 'My concerns for America', the September Dawn actor delivers a biting critique of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

"The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way," Voight, 69, writes.

"The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds," he wrote, comparing Obama's campaign with the "Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement" in the 1960s.

"Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset," if he is elected, Voight says.

Voight concludes, "If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way."

Jolie, meanwhile, is yet to make up her mind about the election.

"I think people assume I'm a Democrat," she told Entertainment Weekly. "But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at [John McCain] as well as Obama."

She has also used the editorial page to get her opinion out.

In February, she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post about the "moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families."
