Oliver Stone No Likey Obama No More
Politico cites some of the critiques of Obama made by Stone and Kuznick:
On Wall Street reform: “The biggest winner under Obama was Wall Street.”
On health care: “Obama’s failure to articulate a progressive vision was also apparent in the fight over health reform, which was to have been his signature initiative…Obama’s health care reform effort, marked by the inability to even refute Republican charges of death panels, was so unpopular that it became an albatross around the necks of Democrats in the 2010 election.”
On a troop surge in Afghanistan: “When it finally came down to decision time, Obama didn’t have the courage or integrity of a post-Cuban Missile Crisis John F. Kennedy. He settled on a 30,000-troop increase, giving the military leaders almost everything they wanted and more than they expected.”
On civil liberties: “Among the greatest disappointments to his followers was Obama’s refusal to roll back the expanding national security state that so egregiously encroached on American civil liberties.”
On ‘imperialism’: “[He] was not offering a decisive break with over a century of imperial conquest. His was a centrist approach to better managing the American empire rather than advancing a positive role for the United States in a rapidly evolving world.”
On defense spending: “While cutting defense spending, pulling combat forces out of Iraq and beginning the drawdown in Afghanistan represented a welcome retreat from they hypermilitarism of the Bush-Cheney years, they did not represent the sharp and definitive break with empire that the world needed to see from the United States.”

Kinda O/T, As a tax payer, I would like to know the body count those two seals were responsible for. They had to do one hell of a job for the battle to last that long. I think they would want us to know too.

If Oliver Stone broke his neck in a fall down some concrete steps, and no one was around to see it, would it still be funny?

@ Bad Brad
The figure being batted around is about 60.

Maybe Stone is dissappointed that if Obama doesn’t get elected he won’t see his money dissappear into the gubment coffer.

Anonymous, That would be most awesome. The bad guys started with 150 I heard. They did themselves proud if that’s the deal. Amazing how our government would not make that public. Wouldn’t want to offend the assholes that are trying to kill us now or anything. Jees. What a waste.

@ even steven: It just occurred to me that it would be even funnier if he did it on a dock or airport in some totalitarian country to which he had fled to escape freedom.

Of course the real reason for his opposition to Obama is Stone’s accountant’s estimate of his tax liability next year if Obama’s re-elected.

Stone, who is Jewish, has a son (whose mother is Catholic) who converted to Islam. The idiot son is always extolling the joys of Islam and how the world will soon be one kumbaya fest with radical goat humpers at the helm and considers himself extremely lucky to be a blend of all these faiths–talk about clueless.
As for Stone, won’t watch his movies, don’t give a rat’s patootie about what he has to say.
Hollywood is really circling the drain and it can’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.

He may say shit like this, but do any of you doubt that the progtard is going to cast his vote for the Black Bejus? Seriously, he and the rest of the butt-hurt celebutards are always going to vote for the American-hating (D)-ouchenozzle, regardless of the past results or future consequences.

Stone can get EXACTLY what he is looking for in France, or Helsinki, or China… GO! Get the Fuk out, make your shit movies somewhere else. Why the compulsion to “change” the USA? Doing the communist’s bidding I presume? GET THE FUK OUT!

Somewhat off topic, but I highly recommend a book by Gerald Posner called “Case Closed,” which is a very detailed and thoroughly researched book on the John F. Kennedy assassination and in which, among other things, Posner discusses some of the more prevalent conspiracy theories.
Posner included an entire chapter on an ethically challenged, probably mentally ill and attention seeking New Orleans district attorney named Jim Garrison who concocted a conspiracy theory out of whole cloth and actually tried the case on no evidence. According to Posner, the jury returned a not-guilty verdict in about 45 minutes (several jurors said it would have taken less time, but some of them had to use the bathroom), and a Louisiana higher court had to bar Garrison from filing any more charges against Mr. Bertrand. Even die hard Kennedy conspiracy buffs came to the conclusion that Garrison was basically nuts.
Posner included this particular “conspiracy” in Case Closed only because Oliver Stone turned this scenario into “JFK,” and basically stole $50 million dollars to make the film.

“Obama’s health care reform effort, marked by the inability to even refute Republican charges of death panels…”
Republican charges of death panels? Try “unable to refute Sarah Palin,” hippie.

In a short TCM production, “Hollywood Goes to Washington”, Stone said his itty bitty feewings were hurt because he got so much blowback from JFK.

Maybe now Mr. Stoner can now make a movie critical of Oblame-o and his killing of 4 americans in the land of heathens?
Instead of of having his favorite buttbuddie Sean Penn star in it like causulties of war, this time he should pick someone like Allen West who will keep his lies in check!?!?!

This is the new “cool” for the libtard side – being to the left of Obama – “Pfft, you call Obama a liberal, I’LL tell you what being a liberal is.”
@even steven – it’s 5:50 a.m. and you just gave me my first LOL of the day. Thanks!
