ANNE HATHAWAY initially refused to fall for U.S. presidential prospect BARACK OBAMA's charms - because she had previously been allow down by politicians with similar views to the Democratic leader.
The staunch Democrat believes the Illinois senator is the best somebody for the White House, and backed him by attending the Democratic National Convention originally this workweek (beg25Aug08).
But Hathaway admits she erred on the side of caution when Obama first became a public design, because she didn't know if she could trust him.
She tells Usweekly.com, "I've been burned by politicians before that I wanted to believe in and just didn't live up to it. And I was afraid to confidence him and I was afraid to have hope when I first kind of became aware of him."
But the actress insists she shortly changed her opinions on the popular politician, subsequently he gave a moving speech on race.
She adds, "I just said, 'I can't deny how I feel around you, Barack Obama. I want you to be the president. I want you in the White House'."
