Woody Allen says President Obama should be granted dictatorial powers (seriously)
foxnews.com ^ | May 17, 2010

Posted on 05/17/2010 12:30:29 PM PDT by ilovesarah2012

Woody Allen has a strange take on the democracy that allowed him to become rich and famous.

The "Scoop" director said it would be a cool idea for President Barack Obama to be dictator for for a few years.

Why?

So he could get things done without all the hassle of opposing views getting in the way.

In an interview published by Spanish language newspaper La Vanguardia (that we translated), Allen says “I am pleased with Obama. I think he’s brilliant. The Republican Party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him.”

But wait - there's more!

The director said "it would be good…if he could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly."

This is...unbelievable. Does Allen Koenigsburg actually think he could have become anything in a dictatorship run by someone like Obama? He has to know that Obama is just silently anti-Semitic and really only waiting his chance to go commando. What possesses these Hollywood types?

Any questions about the way Hollywood thinks?

This is the enemy within trying to take the country to communism. It is just that they will be the ruling elite.

Woody neeeeeeds to be committed to an institution for life. He is too old to contribute anything.

That’s actually typical Woody Allen. Doesn’t surprise me at all.

He used to turn out some pretty funny movies. Now he’s a has-been who, in order to grab 15 minutes of fame, has to make such idiot statements.

Woody Allen has always been irrelevant except to the NY and Hollywood elite. And he isn’t funny.

Woody is proving what most Israeli Jews think of Jews in this country: They’re idiots.

But then, he DOES have influence amongst the marry-your-teenage-stepdaughter crowd.

I know there are probably quite a few libs who think like this, but to come out and say it, well, it just proves once again that liberalism is a mental disorder.

But his movies weren’t funny. Except for the sight gags. Also, A Midsummer Nights’s Sex Dream was only funny when the segments didn’t involve him. Re: Gene Wilder and the sheep. (He ends up on a sidewalk drinking Woolite) and the Sperm scene.

And Woody Allen should be sent to a juvenile sex detention center for the rest of his adult life. Or is he an adult yet?

Here’s a thoroughly talentless guy who made millions proclaiming: “I’m just soooooo Jewish. Isn’t that a scream?” And now he’s giving lessons on dictatorships. Nope No arrogance in his family.

I liked the Howard Cosell commentary at the beginning of Bananas, and “Take the Money and Run” was funny too. But that pretty much was it.

Up until Dead Kennedy’s dear departure and the Scott heard ‘round the world, the Kenyan has as close to dictitorial powers as any President has ever had.

It worked out great. It was when the 40s hit, things really sucked for them.

Interesting, given the long history Allen has of never including any black people in his movies about New York. I’ve visited that city a few times...I think I remember that not everyone was white.

Didn’t the Supreme Court rule that federal officials can indefinitely hold inmates considered “sexually dangerous” after their prison terms are complete?

Shouldn’t “Woody” be locked up?
