DiCaprio disappointed by presidential hopefuls
Leonardo DiCaprio has admitted that he does not feel "inspired" by the 2008 US presidential candidates.

The Aviator actor campaigned for Senator John Kerry in 2004, travelling to 14 different states to support the Democratic hopeful.

However, he will not be doing the same for any of the 2008 candidates until they make their environmental policies clear.

"I'm still on the fence about it, to tell you the truth. I have yet to hear a candidate that has clearly laid out their environmental policy in a way that is inspiring to me," DiCaprio told WENN.

Speaking about Kerry, Leonardo added: "I thought he had an amazing environmental policy. But I have yet to hear a candidate that has compared in that regard. I'm waiting for the right questions to be asked, and for these candidates to give really clear responses to what they're going to do in a tangible way - not a lot of rhetoric. I want to hear hardcore facts."
