Actress Mila Kunis is frustrated about the lack of interest in politics, insisting it's "crazy" young people "don't educate themselves about the world."
The "Black Swan" star is a staunch supporter of President Barack Obama and she's baffled that others in her age group don't hold political views.
She's urged the youth of America to sit down with a book or newspaper and learn about current affairs - for the sake of their own children.
Kunis tells Britain's Stylist magazine, "Yes (I'm frustrated), because you are given such an amazing opportunity with so much information. Why is no-one taking advantage of it? You don't have to watch Fox News or CNN or MSNBC; you don't have to be part of a political party, you could just read. Why is nobody reading? I feel like, in our generation, people don't read.
"They don't read books, they don't read the paper, they don't read the news. So obviously you are incredibly ill-informed to the point where they will go do these tests in Middle America... And they'll ask, 'OK, what party are you?' And they'll say, 'Republican'. 'Why?' And they can't even tell you. They have no idea what the Republican Party stands for.
"Why did I vote for Obama? I can tell you why I voted for him, what I agreed and disagreed with him on, for hours. It's crazy to me that people don't educate themselves about the world considering so many of them have children who are going to suffer because of it.
"Whoever you vote for, don't do it just because. And don't tell me it's because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself."

What’s she been reading? Newsweak?
Well she can believe since she still has a job. Most young people I know don’t even have jobs and haven’t under her hero.
Kunis said this about casual sex: "It's like communism - good in theory, in execution it fails." She accepted a YouTube invitation to attend the Marine Corps Ball with Sgt. Scott Moore. These are promising signs. Perhaps Sgt. Moore could loan her a few good conservative books.
"Whoever you vote for, don't do it just because. And don't tell me it's because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself."
After reading this drivel, I got the impression that there is only one news source in her life.
It is the only thing that explains her stupidity.
Most her age grpup is suffering from failure to launch.
I’m a stickler for the rules.
And frankly, it’s not as if Obama was running against Ronald Reagan....McLame would have been better.....but not by that much.
Living the privileged life in the US, she failed to understand her good fortune or the "education" she missed in the former USSR.
If she had not been allowed to leave until age 30, she would be a different girl and truly understand the politics of which she speaks. And the rest of the world wouldn't know she or her opinions exist.
There's this old saying, something about God not giving with both hands.
send her back to Russia
Can’t we send her back to the Ukraine for a player to be named later?
How did we get stuck with the one Ukranian who thinks communism is a good idea?
>>> I stopped at staunch supporter of Obama.
So what? What has that to do with anything material?
Encouraging youth involvement in politics is nothing Palin or Perry or even Ron Paul would disagree.
If these Hollywood people would have as much passion for making good movies as they have for Obama then maybe we wouldn’t have to sit through such crappy movies like “Black Swan”.
A woman with an opinion?
IBTZ.
I'm sorry, did she say something?
