He claims he supports Barack Obama, but with comments like this, I suspect a game is afoot. Asked by Michael Dwyer, film correspondent of The Irish Times, if he was looking forward to “regime change” in the US, Redford said: “Yes. Where my country is at the moment, I’m not confident of anything. I’m hopeful. “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. “I hope he’ll win. I think he will. If he doesn’t, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye. I think we need new voices, new blood. We need to get a whole group out, get a new group in.“ » Actor pins hopes on victory for Obama Promises, promises. Alec Baldwin promised to leave the country for good if George W. Bush won re-election, but he’s still here. So I’m not counting on this one either.

That’s all, just one year. Redford will be 71 next month. Damn. » Mon   14 Jul 2008   12:14 Boyd said: Hey, what the hell is this? You’ve made three posts in as many days. Were you lying when you said you wouldn’t be blogging so much? » Mon   14 Jul 2008   12:34 Bobbert said: You should ‘not blog’ like this more often.     » Mon   14 Jul 2008   14:02 Kevin McGehee said: By not blogging during the week (except for the broken-news post, which doesn’t count), I was able to save up material. I may try going a week and a day after this. Eventually I’ll reach a balance between supply and demand that will bring optimum results. » Mon   14 Jul 2008   14:20 You must be registered and logged in to comment.
