Brad Rules Out Running for President

December 18, 2007


Hollywood hottie Brad Pitt may be helping rebuild an entire city, but he has ruled out ever running for the U.S. Presidency, insisting, it's "not my place".

In the past few years Pitt has spoken out about the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, helped out homeless families in New Orleans, Louisiana, following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and headed the 'Make It Right' project to provide new houses for survivors of the disaster.

Pitt says, "Not a chance. (That's) the same reason I won't direct. I don't think it's my place. Besides, you can create acts of social disobedience from the outside."

However, Brad hopes his foundation will be mentioned in the 2008 elections. He adds, "It certainly illuminated that a certain portion of society is not being looked after. I think it should be one of the major issues of the upcoming campaign.

"This is a proving ground for so many issues: education, health reform, poverty level, unemployment (and) violence that comes from these conditions."

I commend actors that 'know their place,' if your an actor--act. If you’re a singer--sing! If you don't have the voice or the talent to be a pop star, please spare us. (That last one was for all the Hollywood socialites).

HAHAHA! Why in the world would he even consider running for president??? I wouldn't vote for him just because of who he is!!! Definitely a follower (of all women he associates himself with), not a leader not mention no political experience... What a hysterical thought.

'certain portions of society are not being looked after'...? How about those 'portions of society' rising to the challenge of being responsible for themselves like everyone else?

I'm glad he knows his place as well but does he really know what those big words mean that he was speaking. Hahahahaha.

I'm glad he knows his place. I wish other stars would know theirs. I can't stand to see these stars whose lives are 10x more fucked up than ours, try to preach how we mere mortals should live or believe. Not gonna mention any names, Pam Anderson, Charlie Sheen.
