It seems that Angelina Jolie's mental health isn't the only subject that she and estranged father Jon Voight fail to agree on – their differences are apparently political as well as personal.

Whilst the Changeling actress has publicly heaped praise on Barack Obama, her actor father yesterday launched a blistering attack on the U.S. President, branding him a "false prophet".

The Midnight Cowboy star's fiery speech came as he hosted a fundraiser for the U.S. Republican Party in Washington, D.C.

He told the assembled audience that the Democrat had fooled people into voting him into the White House by promising change – and then failing to deliver.

He said:

 

"Are we supposed to be sitting and waiting, watching for the possibility of a new Holocaust? Who's going to take the responsibility to keep America, I mean Israel, safe? I'll tell you why this really scares the hell out of me. Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.

"Obama really thinks he is a soft-spoken Julius Caesar. He think he's going to conquer the world with his soft-spoken sweet talk and really think he's going to bring all of the enemies of the world into a little playground, where they'll swing each other back and forth."

The 70-year-old in good spirits before making In good spirits outside the The 70-year-old went on to call for the Republican party to rally together to resume power: "We and we alone are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression. Let's give thanks to (Republicans) for not giving up and staying the course to bring an end to this false prophet, Obama."
