After news that actor Brad Pitt may run for the post of mayor in New Orleans, it is now partner Angelina Jolie who plans to step into politics.

But unlike Pitt, the ambitious beauty has set her sight on the Presidential post, reported Daily Express.

'She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference if she were in his position. I would place a huge wager on her becoming the first female President in the next 20 years. She's very determined,' a source close to the actress told the newspaper.

The Oscar winning actress, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, is well known for her humanitarian efforts and is reportedly planning to quit her acting career so that she can spend more time in her philanthropic activities.

'She has admitted she's getting bored with Hollywood. She said she's now got her sights set on Washington. She is passionate about people's rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics,' added the source.
