IF BARACK Obama doesn’t win November’s presidential election in the United States, “you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye”, the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night.
\nSpeaking at a public interview in Trinity College in advance of his conferral with an honorary degree by the university today, Redford said he hoped Obama would win because while John McCain “represents yesterday”, the Democrat embodied the sort of change America needed.
\n[…]
\n“I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he’s a really good person. He’s smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change.”\/blockquote>If McCain represents yesterday, Obama represents 32 years ago. Notice how Redford sounds just as vacuous as any other Obamanite . Obama doesn’t have experience but that doesn’t matter because we need change. It’s doesn’t matter what the change will be, we just need him to be new, different, fresh. Sounds like we’re changing to a new product. How different will it be to have higher taxes, a tanking economy, huge deficits and Iran racing to acquire a nuclear weapon? We’ve got that now.
