Robert Redford on Obama: 'Like So Many Others I'm Beginning to Wonder Just Where the Man Stands' By Noel Sheppard Created 09/03/2011 - 10:31am
Barack Obama's Hope and Change ether appears to be wearing off on Robert Redford.
On Friday evening, the Oscar-winning actor and environmental activist published a rather scathing piece at the Huffington Post about the man Hollywood blindly put all its faith behind in 2008:
One reason I supported President Obama is because he said we must protect clean air, water and lands. But what good is it to say the right thing unless you act on it? Since early August, three administration decisions -- on Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL pipeline and the ozone that causes smog -- have all favored dirty industry over public health and a clean environment. Like so many others, I'm beginning to wonder just where the man stands.
After listing his grievances with recent Obama environmental decisions, Redford concluded:
I have to believe that President Obama still knows it's important to protect clean air, water and lands. Like so many, I'm waiting for him to stand up for all that. I'm waiting for him to stand up for our future. But we can't wait forever.
In reality, what Americans from all walks of life are learning - even Hollywoodans! - is the man they fell in love with despite his record or lack thereof really has no core beliefs or deeply-held positions.
He is an illusion masterfully crafted by himself, his handlers, and his sychophant supporters in the press.
What Redford and "so many others" are beginning to realize is that when you strip back the veneer, there's nothing but cheap particleboard held together with Elmer's Glue.
Nevertheless, they'll all happily support him next November despite his deficiencies and their disappointment.
Makes you wonder whose hypocrisy is worse - his or theirs.
“Redford is possibly one of the stupidest celebrities in America. The very picture of Obama supporters in 2008.”
I agree. I hereby call on Redford to live without any electricity in his personal residence for the next 5 years to prove his devotion to the environment and his opposition to dirty power. He should also refuse to use any form of transportation that uses fossil fuels.
These people are even dimmer bulbs than I imagined.
And I have a pretty good imagination.
Beginning!?
Yeesh!
Gee Bobbie, are you actually getting a clue ?
He still isn't learning, though. He thinks Dick Obama is bad because he isn't liberal enough! Redford has no clue about the economy destruction and unemployment, for starters.
lol
It’s one thing for the author to insult particle board but the dig at Elmer’s Glue is totally unfair.
Robert Redford is proof that you can be quite intelligent and freaking stupid at the same time.
Being that this comes from Robert Redford, I’m almost tempted to come to Obama’s defense.
That was a profoundly eerie post. LOL
He apparently only believes in nature, after having explored every religion.
Key word: blindly
They actually admit that they did not open their eyes back in 2008 to see what they were really getting.
